Mixture
Whatever the baro is outside
Nothing as far as faa is concerned (assuming qualified in category class and type if required)

Correct for the second half of the question, but didn't answer the first part.
Incorrect, the MAP will be whatever it was before the fuel ran out.
The prop will continue turning, and the pistons are still sucking air into the cylinders, creating a vacum in the intake manifold. When you change the throttle, the MAP will react exactly like it would if the engine was producing power.
It's amazing how many CFIs don't know this.

Ok yeah just cutoff the mixture when you feel you can glide down to the airport. I also thought that it would read the baro pressure outside because it does that when you cutoff the fuel when on the ground which I think would be the same thing. I believe the answer to number three is just keep a record that you have checked them out.

I would double think that if I were you. Although word says the faa is soooo under budget that they are not assigning inspectors for rides. GOOD LUCK

I dont think you have to put ssn. And Yes the cfi ride resets the clock.

Read 14 CFR 91.7.

But "NONE" is what is called for in the instructions. "DO NOT USE" implies you have one and it is not to be used. A different situation that the question asked.

I think there could be a book written with that as the title.

No. Roger Roger hit on an excellent question when he presented that one because there are probably more CFIs who would get that wrong than would get that right.
Read 14 CFR 61.56 very carefully remembering that a flight instructor certificate is NOT a pilot certificate and you will see the correct answer. The only relief that is given from the flight review for flight instructors is in 14 CFR 61.56 (f), which says that you do not need the one hour of ground instruction IF the person has done a RENEWAL (not initial) within the last 24 months.

The throttle is spring loaded to stay open if the cable breaks, so you would be at full throttle. You can carefully reduce the mixture so that the engine's power output is reduced (but not eliminated) and fly the pattern that way.
The key thing with fuel exaustion/starvation is that the propeller will keep spinning turning the engine. Therefore the pistons are still sucking air out of the manifold giving your 25"MAP (or whatever you had set), and if you change the throttle the MAP will change just like normal.
MAP is NOT an indication of how much power the engine is producing, it is only an indication of how much air the engine is inhaling.
Also the governer will try to maintain the set RPM, oil pressure and temp will stay the same, CHT's will not change for a few minutes, and the alternator will keep producing amps. The only indications will be off will be fuel flow, and EGT, noise, and loss of thrust.
There is no such thing as a "checkout" in the eyes of the FAA, you can fly any airplane you hold a certificate for that catagory, class, and type if required.

I was asked this question on my CFI ride.
Does the logbook endorsement for solo cross country flights for a student pilot have to be given only by the instructor who provided the required training to that student ? This is the logbook endorsement for solo cross country privileges for a specific make and model.

Yep. Happened to a guy I know in the 150 I own 1/8 of about 12 years ago. He had to use mixture to control power then idle cutoff when he was sure he would make it and made a deadstick landing.

That becomes a question of individual risk assessment. Do you walk around your vehicle each time before you drive it? Very few people do, but some companies require it and will even ensure the rule is followed by having the driver place cones around the vehicle when parked. Do you check to ensure a weapon is unloaded each and every time you pick it up? Would you drive someone else's vehicle if you didn't have any insurance, but they told you they had insurance? I know what I do, but that is really irrelevant. What matters is what a wise man once told me; "just imagine how it is going to sound when you tell it to the judge". I didn't know the child was playing behind my truck when I backed up. I didn't think the gun was loaded. I didn't know the car was stolen. I didn't know the AD had not been complied with.
While I won't be so bold as to say what the right level of caution is I can tell you one thing for certain. With each passing year of my life I become more and more cautious. To use a phrase from a former president, "trust but verify" becomes more and more my mantra. I'll bet that if you look back on your life you will agree that you too have become more cautious with the passing years. As we mature, we have more experience to draw upon when making decision and that generally translates to a more cautious approach to decision making.

Let me start by saying PLEASE DON'T DO THIS. Just take my word for it.
Care to guess which way the airplane will turn when you open a door? (Now, we're talking about something on the order of a Cessna 150 / 172.)
