This demonstration must include the satisfactory completion of a written examination to be administered and graded by the instructor who endorses your student pilot cerlificate for solo flight. ln addition to questions on the applicable regulations, the written exam must include questions on the flight characteristics and operational limitations for the make and model aircraft to be flown.
Advisory Circular 61-101 , Presolo Written Test, indicates that you also should have adequate knowledge to operate safely during solo flight in your local training environment. lf the surrounding area includes controlled airspace, such as Class B, C, D, or E airspace, you may be asked to answer appropriate questions on operations in these areas.

PRESOLO WRITTEN EXAM

20 general questions, 10 aircraft questions, and This exam contains a total of 50 questions 20 airport and airspace questions. Normally, the general and aircraft questions apply to all students; however, some of the airport and airspace questions may not be applicable.
