I got 1 wrong.
I got 6/6 but I take an issue with the second question. The hemispheric crusing rule doesn't apply to heading it applies to COURSES. The question is technically unanswerable and the answer provided is INCORRECT.
The first one about the blue vignetted area is a real trivia one. Not too many places left in the US with uncontrolled airspace up to the base of the continental control area.
Same as Ron. Also the guy that wrote the quiz should be punched in the face for question number 2.
We have Class G here in MI to 14,500
Why does that warrant a punch in the face?
Ditto the others on question 2 (minus the violence), plus I take issue with question 5 regarding "soft-surfaced". The hollow circle means "other than hard-surfaced", not "soft-surfaced", and is used whenever the runway is not paved. That unpaved surface could still be pretty darn hard.
Heading Vs Course. Class G in MI has nothing to do with question number 2.
The quiz made no mention of Michigan.
I take issue with that one too; "You're airplane is here at 12,500 feet MSL. What airspace are you in?" I am not airplane.
The problem with question 2 is that it gives only heading to determine correct cruising altitude, and heading is not what is used to determine that -- course is.6/6. Not sure about the confusion on question 2. Does G not go to 14,500 ft there?

Got the airspace question wrong...if CCA was still the proper term, I'd have gotten it right!
That's my story, and I'm stick in' to it!![]()
If it makes you feel any better, so did I. I was actually LOOKING for the blue vignette and somehow didn't see it. When I saw that I had missed the question I went back to the image and suddenly there it was. I seem to be having a few brain farts lately...I missed the airspace question....
2) You're flying a magnetic course of 359 degrees. What altitude should you fly?
I got the freq question wrong. How do you know what freq from a chart to reach flight services?
Another loss to political stupidity like control zone. What do we call the class E airspace that begins at 14,500 feet MSL to, but not including, 18,000 feet MSL overlying: the 48 contiguous States including the waters within 12 miles from the coast of the 48 contiguous States; the District of Columbia; Alaska, including the waters within 12 miles from the coast of Alaska, and that airspace above FL 600; excluding the Alaska peninsula west of long. 160°00'00''W, and the airspace below 1,500 feet above the surface of the earth unless specifically so designated?
So my VFR cruising altitude is based on ground track and not heading?
What's your guys problem with number two? It clearly says magnetic COURSE.
It didn't when the first bunch of us took the test. They fixed it.
All your base are mine.If they're fixing the thing on the fly, they should also fix the part that says I am airplane.
