Identify the 8 broad categories of FAA activity and give an example of each Question 2 Not yet graded / 5 pts Skip to question text. You are a pilot for a network airline. During scheduled passenger-carrying operations, there arises some confusion over the cruise altitude you were cleared to climb and maintain. You may have inadvertently violated an FAR by deviating from that clearance. • Are there any programs you have the opportunity to participate in that might reduce the likelihood of this event leading to suspension or revocation of your certificate or company disciplinary action? If so, name each such program, identify the time period within which you must submit a report, and identify the recipient of the report Question 3 Not yet graded / 10 pts Skip to question text. A corporate pilot has been making numerous short flights carrying executives around all day to visit various operating locations in the region. At the last stop before heading home, the pilot orders fuel from the FBO. As the ramp attendant is finishing the refueling, the executive passengers return, letting the pilot know in no uncertain terms that they are in a hurry to get home. Trying to keep the bigwigs happy, the weary pilot decides to skip the preflight inspection since the aircraft has been performing fine all day. Nearing the home airport after sunset, the pilot has begun the descent checklist when suddenly the right engine sputters and dies, followed moments later by the left one. Descending in the evening twilight as a glider, the twin hits a utility pole and cartwheels into a house, setting it afire. Post-accident investigation reveals that the cap for the aircraft's single-point refueling port had not been secured, so much of the fuel had been lost overboard, causing the engines to die from fuel exhaustion. An FAR intended to prevent such an accident requires a pilot to perform a pre-flight inspection. Analyze whether the pilot and the pilot's employer are potentially liable for negligence in a civil suit brought by the owners of the house that burned down Question 4 Not yet graded / 10 pts Skip to question text. A flight instructor and a student pilot are aloft in the airport traffic pattern in a single-engine training airplane, with the student pilot practicing takeoffs and landings. The pair are startled by a loud noise and the engine suddely begins to vibrate violently. The flight instructor takes control of the aircraft and pulls the throttle back, which reduces the violence, but it still looks like it could shake the engine loose from its mounts (which would be catastrophic), so the instructor pulls the mixture control, shutting down the engine. It is then apparent that a propeller blade is missing. The instructor makes a successful power-off landing on the runway, and rolls to the ramp. No one is injured and there is no other damage to the aircraft. • Should the FAA be notified of the event? • Should the NTSB be notified of the event? Show your analytical reasoning clearly. • If either agency must be notified, when, where, and how should the notice be delivered? Question 5 Not yet graded / 10 pts Skip to question text. An A&P mechanic with inspection authorization who is also a pilot purchases an airplane to use both for personal travel and to fly to other airports to service customers' airplanes located there. The mechanic charges for technical services and parts furnished, but not for the transportation. • What is the appropriate purpose of use for the aircraft's insurance policy? • What risks should be covered by the hull insurance? • What method of valuation should be chosen in event of a total loss? Will an FAR violation exclusion clause be acceptable? Question 6 Not yet graded / 10 pts Skip to question text. As a fund-raiser, an air museum wants to send several of its meticulously-restored vintage airliners on a nationwide tour, taking passengers up for local flights at each stop on the tour to enjoy the ambiance of a bygone era of air travel elegance in exchange for donations to the museum. Liability insurance for these airplanes has proved prohibitively expensive. Is some other risk-management tool appropriate to consider in this scenario? If so, identify it Question 7 Not yet graded / 10 pts You are in the market to buy an aircraft and have located one that looks like it would meet your needs within your price range. What will you do before making a firm deal to buy it, and why? Be specific Question 8 Not yet graded / 10 pts Skip to question text. A town is planning to expand its airport in hope of attracting industrial development and the jobs it could bring. The town council is considing applying for a federal grant under the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) to help finance the project. • What is the maximum percentage of the project costs that can be funded by AIP? • What contstraints would be imposed on the city if it signs the FAA's grant agreement to accept AIP funds, and • how long will those constraints apply? Question 9 Not yet graded / 10 pts Skip to question text. You are an airline passenger running late for your flight and there's a very long line ahead of you at the pre-boarding security screening checkpoint. Afraid you'll miss your flight, you consider using the "exit only" area where arriving passengers are coming in to bypass security. • If you try it, would you risk federal criminal prosecution? • If so, identify the crime and its possible consequences. • Be specific. Question 10 Not yet graded / 10 pts Skip to question text. A corporate flight crew consisting of a captain, first officer, and cabin attendant have just returned to their U.S. home base from a 7-day trip carrying executives around Central and South America on company business. Like the executives, the crewmembers have worked 12 to 16 hour duty days for the entire trip. • Are the crewmembers entitled to overtime pay? Explain. • If so, can the company give them time off to make up for the long days, instead? Question 11 5 / 5 pts The Commercial Space Launch Act provides that passengers “riding the rocket”: Question 12 0 / 5 pts A commercial spaceflight company:
