Answers you can check
A plausible-looking answer can be confidently wrong, and without a source you would have no way to know. Every CFI Airplane answer is tied to the FAA passage it comes from, FAA-H-8083-3 and the Airman Certification Standards, and re-checked against that source before it ships. The citation sits right on the question, so you can see exactly what it is grounded in.
