1. Unless otherwise specifically authorized, no person may operate an aircraft that has an experimental certificate
Answer (B) is correct. (14 CFR 91.319) Unless otherwise specifically authorized, no person may operate an aircraft that has an experimental certificate over a densely populated area or along a congested airway.

2. Which is normally prohibited when operating a restricted category civil aircraft?
Answer (B) is correct. (14 CFR 91.313) Normally, no person may operate a restricted category civil aircraft over a densely populated area.

3. According to 14 CFR Part 91, what is the appropriate VFR cruising altitude, when above 3,000 ft. AGL, for a flight on a magnetic course of 090°?
Answer (B) is correct. (14 CFR 91.159) When operating a VFR flight above 3,000 ft. AGL on a magnetic course of 0° through 179°, fly any odd thousand-foot MSL altitude plus 500 ft. Thus, on a magnetic course of 090°, an appropriate VFR cruising altitude is 5,500 ft.

4. Each person operating an aircraft at a VFR cruising altitude shall maintain an odd-thousand plus 500-foot altitude while on a
Answer (B) is correct. (14 CFR 91.159) When operating above 3,000 feet AGL but less than 18,000 feet MSL on a magnetic course of 0° to 179°, fly at an odd thousand-foot MSL altitude plus 500 feet.

5. Which VFR cruising altitude is appropriate when flying above 3,000 feet AGL on a magnetic course of 185°?
Answer (B) is correct. (14 CFR 91.159) When operating a VFR flight above 3,000 feet AGL on a magnetic course of 180° through 359°, fly any even thousand-foot MSL altitude, plus 500 feet. Thus, on a magnetic course of 185°, an appropriate VFR cruising altitude is 4,500 feet.

6. Which cruising altitude is appropriate for a VFR flight on a magnetic course of 135°?
Answer (C) is correct. (14 CFR 91.159) When operating a VFR flight above 3,000 feet AGL on a magnetic course of 0° through 179°, fly any odd thousand-foot MSL altitude plus 500 feet. Thus, on a magnetic course of 135°, an appropriate VFR cruising altitude is an odd thousand plus 500 feet.

7. Which VFR cruising altitude is acceptable for a flight on a Victor Airway with a magnetic course of 175°? The terrain is less than 1,000 feet.
Answer (C) is correct. (14 CFR 91.159) When operating a VFR flight above 3,000 feet AGL on a magnetic course of 0° through 179°, fly any odd thousand-foot MSL altitude plus 500 feet. Thus, on a magnetic course of 175°, an appropriate VFR cruising altitude is 5,500 feet.

8. According to 14 CFR part 91, at what minimum altitude may an airplane be operated unless necessary for takeoff and landing?
Answer (C) is correct. (14 CFR 91.119) Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, an aircraft should always be operated at an altitude high enough to permit an emergency landing without endangering people or property on the ground.
9 / 12
9. Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, what is the minimum safe altitude required for a pilot to operate an aircraft over other than a congested area?
Answer (B) is correct. (14 CFR 91.119) Over uncongested areas, an altitude of 500 ft. above the surface is required. Over open water and sparsely populated areas, a distance of 500 ft. from any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure must be maintained.
10 / 12
10. Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, an aircraft may not be operated closer than what distance from any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure?
Answer (A) is correct. (14 CFR 91.119) Over uncongested areas, an altitude of 500 ft. above the surface is required. Over open water and sparsely populated areas, a distance of 500 ft. from any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure must be maintained.
11 / 12
11. Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, what is the minimum safe altitude required for a pilot to operate an aircraft over congested areas?
Answer (C) is correct. (14 CFR 91.119) When operating an aircraft over any congested area of a city, town, or settlement, or over an open-air assembly of persons, a pilot must remain at an altitude of 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 2,000 feet of the aircraft.
12 / 12
12. Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, what is the minimum safe altitude for a pilot to operate an aircraft anywhere?
Answer (A) is correct. (14 CFR 91.119) Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, an aircraft should always be operated at an altitude high enough to permit an emergency landing without endangering people or property on the ground.
