What are the basic VFR weather minimums for an airplane operating in Class D airspace below 10,000 feet MSL during the day?
Correct answer: A - 3 statute miles visibility; 500 feet below, 1,000 feet above, and 2,000 feet horizontal from clouds

Correct answer: D - 4,500 feet MSL
During which stage of a thunderstorm's life cycle are both updrafts and downdrafts present, producing the heaviest precipitation and most severe hazards?

A pilot flying through a layer of stable air would most likely encounter:
Correct answer: A - stratus clouds and smooth air.
An airplane's wing will stall:
Correct answer: D - whenever the critical angle of attack is exceeded, regardless of airspeed.
An airplane with a fixed-pitch propeller shows a gradual loss of RPM and slight engine roughness while cruising on a warm, humid day. The most likely cause and correct action are:
