  1. Maneuver 1 Preflight Inspection
  2. You should check the oil level before every flight.
  3.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          You should check the oil level before each flight, and check the POH to determine if you have the right amount of oil for the length of the flight.
  4.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Maneuver 1 Preflight Inspection
  5. What paperwork is required to be in the airplane for U.S. operations, in addition to the operating limitations and weight and balance information?
  6.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Items that must be carried on board the airplane for U.S. operations include the airworthiness certificate, registration, operating limitations, and weight and balance information. A radio station license is only required for international operations.
  7.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Maneuver 1 Preflight Inspection
  8. Select the true statement regarding checking the fuel level during the preflight inspection. 
  9.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              You should visually check the fuel level before every flight by looking into the tank and/or measuring the level with a graduated stick. Verify that you have sufficient fuel for the flight and that the amount of fuel in the tanks corresponds to the amount shown by the fuel quantity gauges.
  10.                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Maneuver 1 Preflight Inspection
  11. There is normally only one location on the airplane from which to drain the fuel system.
  12.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     You normally need to drain the fuel system in several places. You should always check the POH to make sure you don't miss any drain locations.
  13.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Maneuver 1 Preflight Inspection
  14. If something is blocking the opening of the pitot tube, you should attempt to remove it yourself.
  15.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            You should never try to remove something in the pitot tube opening since you could damage the pitot system. Instead, consult an aviation technician.
  16.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Maneuver 1 Preflight Inspection
  17. You should make sure the ignition is off before you begin the preflight inspection of the airplane's exterior.
  18.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Make sure the ignition is off, so that if you turn the prop during the preflight inspection, you won't end up starting the engine by mistake.
  19.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Maneuver 1 Preflight Inspection
  20. Water present in a fuel sample will rise to the top of the tester.
  21.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Water is heavier than fuel and will collect in the bottom of the fuel tester.
  22.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Maneuver 1 Preflight Inspection
  23. How can you determine if you have the correct grade of fuel in your airplane's tanks?
  24.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        You can tell the grade of fuel you have by looking at its color. For example, 100LL is light blue. So you can see the fuel's true color, hold the sample up against a white surface, not the blue sky.
  25.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Maneuver 1 Preflight Inspect
