While taxiing for departure at a towered airport, the pilot hears the tower's transmission clearly but receives no acknowledgment when attempting to reply. The tower then illuminates a steady green light gun signal toward the aircraft. Which equipment issue MOST LIKELY caused the loss of two-way radio capability?

You are flying VFR and receiving flight following from approach control. The controller transmits, 'N123AB, radar service terminated.' What is the appropriate pilot response and next action?

Refer to Figure 65. The airport signs depict an airport with an ILS approach to runway 22. You are IFR and have been cleared for the ILS runway 22 approach but suffer a complete radio communications failure just after the clearance. You cross the final approach fix (FAF) at 14:30 UTC. The published minimum time from the FAF to the missed approach point (MAP) is 6 minutes for 90 knots groundspeed. Your groundspeed over the FAF is 120 knots. If the runway environment is not in sight, at what time must you execute the missed approach?

You are preflight planning a daytime VFR cross-country flight from an uncontrolled field to a destination 120 NM southeast. Cruise altitude will be 5,500 feet MSL. The VFR sectional shows the straight-line route clips the edge of a Class B airspace shelf (floor 4,000 feet MSL) and then passes through an active MOA (ceiling 6,000 feet MSL, active 0800-1800 local). Proposed departure at 1000 local. Your aircraft has VHF communications, VFR GPS, but no ADS-B Out. The most appropriate route planning action is

While landing at an uncontrolled airport under the following weather conditions (METAR: KXYZ 152345Z AUTO 22015G25KT 1SM -RA BR BKN030 OVC080 08/08 A2975), a wind gust causes the airplane to ground loop, resulting in substantial damage to the left wing. No person suffers death or serious injury. With regard to NTSB accident/incident reporting, the pilot/operator must
