FAA FIA Practice Questions - FAA Flight Instructor Airplane (FIA) Knowledge Test Exam - FAA FIA Practice Questions - FAA Flight Instructor Airplane (FIA) Knowledge Test Exam

Question 1

A student pilot asks you, the CFI, why the airplane tends to yaw LEFT during a full-power climb at low airspeed. Which combination of left-turning tendencies BEST explains this behavior in a typical single-engine propeller airplane?

Crossed control inputs and adverse yaw only. Torque reaction, P-factor, spiraling slipstream, and gyroscopic precession. Centrifugal force and load factor only. Adverse yaw and Dutch roll only.

Correct Answer:

Torque reaction, P-factor, spiraling slipstream, and gyroscopic precession.

Question 2

Your primary student enters an inadvertent spin during slow flight practice. Which acronym BEST describes the standard spin recovery technique you should teach, in correct order?

PAVE — Pilot, Aircraft, enVironment, External pressures. PARE — Power idle, Ailerons neutral, Rudder opposite, Elevator forward. GUMPS — Gas, Undercarriage, Mixture, Propeller, Switches. DECIDE — Detect, Estimate, Choose, Identify, Do, Evaluate.

Correct Answer:

PARE — Power idle, Ailerons neutral, Rudder opposite, Elevator forward.

Question 3

A student asks what V-speed represents the calibrated stall speed in the landing configuration (gear and full flaps down) at maximum gross weight. Which V-speed is this?

Vs1 — stall speed in a specified configuration. Vso — stall speed in the landing configuration. Vfe — maximum flap-extended speed. Va — design maneuvering speed.

Correct Answer:

Vso — stall speed in the landing configuration.

Question 4

A student turning final notes the airplane shudders briefly and the stall warning sounds, but a full stall does not develop. Why is the bank angle in a turn so critical to stall awareness during base-to-final?

Stall speed decreases as bank angle increases due to centripetal force. Stall speed increases with bank angle because load factor increases with the secant of the bank angle. Bank angle has no effect on stall speed; only weight does. Stall speed depends only on density altitude and is independent of bank angle.

Correct Answer:

Stall speed increases with bank angle because load factor increases with the secant of the bank angle.

Question 5

When teaching a soft-field takeoff, which technique BEST minimizes the time the wheels are in contact with the soft surface and reduces drag during the takeoff roll?

Apply full power with the elevator neutral and rotate at Vr like a normal takeoff. Hold the yoke fully aft from the start of the roll, lift off in ground effect at the lowest practical speed, then accelerate in ground effect to Vx or Vy. Start the takeoff with flaps fully retracted to minimize induced drag. Use a full stop on the runway centerline, then apply full power and rotate normally.

Correct Answer:

Hold the yoke fully aft from the start of the roll, lift off in ground effect at the lowest practical speed, then accelerate in ground effect to Vx or Vy.
