What are the Full panel (Ex.24) flight test limits for PPL and CPL?

a) PPL: +/-200', +/-15KTS, +/-15HDG; CPL: +/-100', +/-10KTS, +/-10HDG, +/-100fpm, +/-10AOB

b) PPL: +/-100', +/-10KTS, +/-10HDG; CPL: +/-200', +/-15KTS, +/-15HDG, +/-100fpm, +/-10AOB

c) PPL: +/-150', +/-12KTS, +/-12HDG; CPL: +/-100', +/-10KTS, +/-10HDG, +/-150fpm, +/-15AOB

d) PPL: +/-200', +/-20KTS, +/-20HDG; CPL: +/-100', +/-10KTS, +/-10HDG, +/-200fpm, +/-20AOB

Final answer:

The correct flight test limits for a PPL are ±200 feet for altitude, ±15 knots for airspeed, and ±15 degrees for heading. For a CPL, the limits are ±100 feet for altitude, ±10 knots for airspeed, ±10 degrees for heading, ±100 fpm for vertical speed, and ±10 degrees for angle of bank.

Step-by-step explanation:

The flight test limits for Private Pilot License (PPL) and Commercial Pilot License (CPL) in terms of full panel (Ex.24) are different due to the increased precision expected of commercial pilots. For the PPL the limits are ±200 feet altitude, ±15 knots airspeed, and ±15 degrees heading. However, for the CPL, the standards are more stringent: an applicant must maintain ±100 feet altitude, ±10 knots airspeed, ±10 degrees heading, ±100 feet per minute (fpm) vertical speed, and ±10 degrees angle of bank (AOB). Therefore, the correct answer to your question is: a) PPL: ±200', ±15KTS, ±15HDG; CPL: ±100', ±10KTS, ±10HDG, ±100fpm, ±10AOB.
