Here are your Practice Exam Results for Private Pilot Airplane:

49 question(s) answered correctly (82%) out of 60 questions asked.You completed the practice session in 22 minutes (on time).

Warning! This Exams4Pilots site will only give you a general feel for the FAA written test -- it is not intended to be a complete test prep. The

FAA now changes test banks as often as several times per month and has changed the tests to discourage memorization (which, let's face it,

helps nobody). Furthermore, the FAA no longer publicly makes readily available the complete test banks which were the primary source of

data for this and all other 'free' sites (and also a few amateurly effort apps and services). Therefore this site (like most other books, sites,

and apps), while an ok 'taster,' is almost certainly not sufficient for you to learn the material and pass your test.

Fear Not! There is a solution. If you want to pass the Private Pilot Airplane knowledge test, truly understand the material, and become a

safe and proficient pilot, we highly recommend that you check out the Dauntless GroundSchool FAA Test Prep Series of products. Dauntless

preps are available for PC, Mac, iPhone / iPad, Android, and more. Dauntless GroundSchool features very up to date questions maintained

by a well-regarded editorial team of active CFIs, ground instructors, and examiners who work hard to stay on top of FAA changes. Most

importantly, however, the GroundSchool preps contain detailed, often illustrated explanations so that you'll really understand the material

and be maximally ready for any question variations or nuances the FAA might throw your way. Additionally, you'll learn the stuff well enough

that you'll be ahead of the game when the practical test examiner quizzes you on the same things further down the line. Tens of thouasnds

of pilots and mechanics have confidently aced their knowledge tests thanks to Dauntless products. With Dauntless GroundSchool, updates

are built-in and free for life, so you can start studying now even if you're not yet ready to take your test.

If you are serious about passing your knowledge test, we highly recommend that you make the modest but very smart investment

in a Dauntless test prep product right now!

3806(Refer to figure 50.) If the wind is as shown by the landing direction indicator, the pilot should land onYour answer:A) Runway 22 directly into the wind.

The correct answer was:B) Runway 18 and expect a crosswind from the right.

Subject Code: J13, Airport Operations in AIM--Aeronautical Information Manual

The following may help you understand this question:The figure shows the wind direction using a TETRAHEDRON. This device points in the direction the wind iscoming FROM, in this case, the SouthWest. If we could land on runway 22, we would have a directheadwind, but we can't since that runway is closed (marked with an 'X'). So answer A is out. So our onlychoices are runway 18 or 36. Since the wind is from the South West, 18 would be the runway of choice, soAnswer B is correct. Answer C is incorrect because it would result in a tailwind, significantly increasing ourlanding distance.
