In the "Maneuvers and Emergencies" section there is a question: "What is the target airspeed for slow flight?" The FAA Practical Test Standards have changed so that the new speed is at MCA, which the FAA defines as the airspeed at which any further increase in angle of attack, increase in load factor, or decrease in power would result in a stall.
In the "Maneuvers and Emergencies" section there is a question: "At what airspeed and altitude should ground reference maneuvers be performed?" The correct altitude is 600 to 1,000 feet AGL.
In the "Flight Instruments" section there is a two part question with the first part being: "What altimeter setting is the instrument currently set to?" An image of an altimeter is displayed. The answer of "30.13 mmHg" is incorrect. The correct answer is "30.13 inches of Hg."
In the "Navigation and Cross-Country" section there is a question: "What is the meaning of all of the written information regarding Waco Regional airport?" The answer of 199.3 MHz for the control tower frequency is incorrect. The correct control tower frequency is 119.3 MHz.
