1. What is one main way AI helps pilots during a flight?

   1. It spots bad weather early
   2. It flies the plane by itself
   3. It books the tickets for passengers
   4. It builds the airplane

2. According to what you learned, who actually flies the plane?

   1. The pilot flies, and AI is their helper
   2. The AI flies the whole trip
   3. No one flies it — it flies itself
   4. Air traffic controllers fly it

3. If there is a big storm 100 miles ahead of a plane, what might AI do?

   1. Warn the pilot about the storm so they can change path
   2. Ignore the storm and keep going
   3. Turn off the airplane engines
   4. Fly around the storm without telling the pilot

4. What does AI do when it suggests a flight path?

   1. It picks a random path for fun
   2. It makes the flight longer and more dangerous
   3. It suggests a smoother flight path
   4. It makes the flight shorter and bumpier

5. How does AI help planes use less fuel?

   1. By picking smart routes and speed choices
   2. By making the plane fly slower all the time
   3. By flying in circles to burn more fuel
   4. By turning off the engines mid-flight

6. Which of these is something AI helps pilots do?

   1. Sell tickets to passengers
   2. Cook meals on the plane
   3. Make smooth landings
   4. Clean the airplane after landing

7. A pilot is flying and AI suggests a new route. What should the pilot do?

   1. Ignore AI completely since it's just a computer
   2. Always follow AI's suggestion without thinking
   3. Consider AI's suggestion but make the final decision
   4. Throw away all AI tools and fly manually

8. Why is it important that pilots still steer the plane even with AI helping?

   1. Pilots enjoy steering more than AI does
   2. AI cannot legally fly a plane without a human pilot
   3. Pilots are required to steer by law but AI does all the work
   4. AI might make mistakes and pilots need to catch them

9. If AI weren't helping pilots, which of these would pilots have to do more of on their own?

   1. Watch the weather and find safe paths
   2. Sell snacks to passengers
   3. Register new passengers
   4. Clean the windows of the plane

10. What kind of information does AI use to help pilots make decisions?

    1. Information about passenger names and ages
    2. Only information from the pilot's phone
    3. Weather data, flight paths, and fuel usage
    4. Only information about the airplane's color

11. A student says AI replaces pilots. Based on what you learned, why is this wrong?

    1. AI cannot be used in airplanes
    2. AI is just a helper — pilots still fly the plane
    3. Pilots don't actually exist
    4. Pilots are too expensive to hire

12. What might happen if AI only picked flight paths without any human oversight?

    1. Planes would fly backwards
    2. All flights would be cancelled
    3. Problems might happen because no human is checking
    4. Flights would always be perfectly safe

13. Which skill would a pilot still need even with AI helping them?

    1. How to be an airplane mechanic
    2. How to steer and control the airplane
    3. How to paint the airplane
    4. How to build a new airplane from scratch

14. What does it mean that AI is a pilot's 'co-helper'?

    1. AI and pilot never talk to each other
    2. AI and pilot work together, with the pilot still in charge
    3. AI and pilot take turns flying the plane
    4. AI does half the flying and pilot does the other half

15. Why do airlines want AI to help with finding flight paths?

    1. To confuse passengers
    2. To make pilots work harder
    3. To make flights more exciting and dangerous
    4. To save fuel and make flights smoother
