1	Which is a purpose of wing-mounted vortex generators? Reduce the drag caused by supersonic flow over portions of the wing. Increase the onset of drag divergence and aid in aileron effectiveness at high speed. Break the airflow over the wing so the stall will progress from the root out to the tip of the wing.
2	(Refer to appendix 2, figures 106 and 107.) If the glide slope indication is lost upon passing HUNDA INT on the ILS RWY 25L approach at LAX, what action should the pilot take? Continue to the MAP, and execute the missed approach as indicated. Immediately start the missed approach direct to INISH INT. Continue the approach as an LOC, and add 100 feet to the DH.
3	An ATC 'instruction' is a directive issued by ATC for the purpose of requiring a pilot to take a specific action. is the same as an ATC 'clearance.' must be 'read back' in full to the controller and confirmed before becoming effective.
4	NOTAM (L)'s are used to disseminate what type of information? Conditions of facilities en route that may cause delays. Time critical information of a permanent nature that is not yet available in normally published charts. Taxi closures, personnel and equipment near or crossing runways, airport lighting aids that do not affect instrument approach criteria, and airport rotating beacon outages.
5	(Refer to appendix 2, figures 51 and 52.) What is the total time from starting to the alternate through completing the approach for Operating Conditions L-1? 30 minutes. 44 minutes. 29 minutes.
6	(Refer to appendix 2, figures 48, 49, and 50.) What is the ground distance covered during en route climb for Operating Conditions W-4? 61.4 NM. 60.3 NM. 58.4 NM.
7	(Refer to appendix 2, figures 48, 49, and 50.) What is the aircraft weight at the top of climb for Operating Conditions W-1? 81,550 pounds. 81,400 pounds. 81,600 pounds.
8	(Refer to appendix 2, figures 56, 57, and 58.) How much fuel is burned during en route climb for Operating Conditions V-2? 2,600 pounds. 2,400 pounds. 2,250 pounds.
9	(Refer to appendix 2, figures 56, 57, and 58.) What is the aircraft weight at the top of climb for Operating Conditions V-3? 82,200 pounds. 82,500 pounds. 82,100 pounds.
10	(Refer to appendix 2, figures 86 and 87.) What are descent time and distance under Operating Conditions S-1? 25 minutes, 118 NAM. 26 minutes, 125 NAM. 24 minutes, 118 NAM.
