7. If the pilot pulls in too much pitch:

___ A. It may cause an over torque damaging the engine

___ B. It may cause an over speed

___ C. It may pull the RPM down causing a loss of power leading to rotor stall

8. To quickly descend for collision avoidance, the pilot should:

___ C. Lower the collective and push the cyclic forward

9. When crossing high tension wires, the pilot should:
