Question 1
A commercial pilot holds airplane single-engine and multiengine ratings but no instrument-airplane rating. Which operation is prohibited by the limitation required by 14 CFR 61.133?
Correct Answer:
Carrying passengers for hire on a 75 NM cross-country flight
Explanation:
Without an instrument rating in the same airplane category and class, the commercial certificate carries a limitation prohibiting carriage of passengers for hire on cross-country flights over 50 NM or at night.
Question 2
What is the minimum age to take the FAA Commercial Pilot Airplane CAX knowledge test?
Correct Answer:
16 years
Explanation:
The current CAX test specifications list a minimum testing age of 16. A commercial pilot certificate itself has separate eligibility requirements, including being at least 18 years old.
Question 3
Before a commercial flight to an unfamiliar airport, which item is specifically part of the preflight action required by 14 CFR 91.103 for a flight not in the vicinity of an airport?
Correct Answer:
Runway lengths at airports of intended use and takeoff and landing distance information
Explanation:
For flights not in the vicinity of an airport, the PIC must become familiar with all available information, including weather, fuel requirements, alternatives if the flight cannot be completed, known traffic delays, and runway lengths plus takeoff and landing distance data as applicable.
Question 4
Assuming the operation is otherwise authorized, an airplane is used to carry passengers for hire under Part 91. What recurring inspection is generally required in addition to the annual inspection?
Correct Answer:
A 100-hour inspection
Explanation:
An aircraft carrying a person other than a crewmember for hire generally must have received an annual or 100-hour inspection within the preceding 100 hours of time in service.
Question 5
An airplane reaches its 100-hour inspection limit while away from the maintenance base. How far may the 100-hour limit be exceeded solely to reach a place where the inspection can be performed?
Correct Answer:
10 hours
Explanation:
The 100-hour limitation may be exceeded by not more than 10 hours while en route to a place where the inspection can be done. The excess time is included in computing the next 100-hour interval.

About this Exam

The Commercial Pilot Airplane Multi-Engine (AMEL) rating is the definitive certification for pilots aiming to advance their careers beyond single-engine aircraft. This rating is an exhilarating and necessary step for those wanting to enter the professional arena, from corporate jet operations to scheduled airline service.

It is designed for pilots who already hold at least a Private Pilot Certificate (though most wait until holding a Commercial Single-Engine certificate to save costs) and desire the authority to act as pilot-in-command of aircraft with more than one engine.
