Instructions
The purpose of the concept checks is to evaluate your grasp of the basic module
content and to allow you to practice written communication, quantitative reasoning,
problem-solving, and real-world application.
The concept checks are untimed open book/open notes quizzes, containing
multiple-choice, matching, numerical answer questions, that will focus on your
comprehension, application, and analysis of the material.
Quiz questions are presented one at a time.
Use caution
in navigating back to a previous question
– answers are only saved by selecting the Save button or navigating forward to the next question.
Attempts:
You will have two attempts; the higher scoring attempt will be your final score. Questions
are pooled, so you will not see the same questions on different attempts.
Time limit:
None
Grading:
All questions are scored immediately after quiz submission.
Quiz Review:
You will be able to review the quiz questions, your answers, and automatic feedback
once
, immediately after submitting the quiz. Incorrect answers will be marked, but the correct
answers to those questions will not be shown. Contact your instructor for clarification on incorrect
answers if needed.
Tips for Success
Review all content and resources provided in the module lesson.
Ask questions. Use the Online Office or email your instructor.
Even though the quiz is not due until the end of the module, preparing for and taking the first
attempt early in the module is highly recommended. Immediately after submitting the first
attempt, you will have one opportunity to review your submission to see which questions you got
wrong. Taking the first attempt early allows time to seek or ask for clarification on the wrong
answers prior to taking the second attempt.

A METAR would be useful for obtaining information on the expected
weather conditions at an airport for a departure time several hours from
the current time.

Question 6
Which of the following is an example of a weather
analysis
product from
NOAA’s Aviation Weather Center website? (Choose all that apply)

Question 7
Answer 1:
Answer 2:
A pilot is estimating the flight time for a planned flight of 400 nautical
miles based on the forecast wind at flight level. The expected wind
speed along the flight route at flight level is a tailwind of 30 knots. The
aircraft’s cruise speed (true airspeed) is 150 knots.
The pilot determines that the ground speed will be
[ Select ]
knots, and that the estimated flight time
is about
[ Select ]
hours.

The aircraft's weight does not impact an aircraft engine's ability to
generate thrust.
failure to complete the flight
decreased rate of climb

Question 9
Typically, when an aircraft's center of gravity is aft of its center of
pressure, the aircraft is less stable and more difficult to control.
True
False

Question 10
Scenario:
You are a pilot planning to fly your family of four in a single-engine
aircraft to a destination for a summer vacation. The flight departure, from
a high-altitude mountain airfield, is planned for a mid-afternoon in July.
You obtain a weather forecast valid for the planned day of the flight,
which calls for clear skies and light winds, a morning low temperature
near 50 F, and an afternoon high temperature near 90 F.
You also perform a weight and balance calculation for a full load of fuel,
four passengers, and the family’s luggage packed in the aft compartment
of the aircraft, which results in the aircraft being overloaded and
significantly unbalanced.
Which of the following conclusions could be drawn from the given
scenario? (Choose all that apply)
the predicted high temperature conditions at take off would increase the
climb rate
high density altitude will not be a factor for the planned take off time
decreasing the cargo and/or fuel load should be considered
decreased stability and control of the aircraft will not be a factor for the
planned configuration of cargo
departing in the morning vs. afternoon should be considered
