Try a few questions

Sample questions from the FAA Private Pilot bank. Answers are checked on the server — nothing is revealed until you answer.

Question 1. Match each description to its most specific topic, in the order shown. I. A private pilot checks 14 CFR 61.113 before accepting a proposed paid flight rather than assuming any payment is permitted. II. A regulatory question distinguishes the required response to an Administrator's request from an automatic report assumed in every case.

Question 2. Fictional ground-school exercise; not for operational flight planning. For an airplane night VFR classroom calculation, 14 CFR 91.151 specifies at least 45 additional minutes at normal cruising speed after the first intended landing point. At 25 gal/h, how many gallons correspond to that additional time alone?

Question 3. Which term or topic best matches the following description? A navigation problem combines distance in nautical miles with speed in knots.
