EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
GRADED A+ 2025/2026
How can turbulent air cause an increase in stalling speed of an airfoil? - ANS An abrupt
change in relative wind.
What effect of increased airspeed on coordinated turn while at a constant angle of bank and
altitude? - ANS The rate of turn will decrease resulting in no changes in load factor.
What is the effect on total drag of an aircraft if the airspeed decreases in level flight below that
speed for maximum L/D? - ANS Drag increases because of increased induced drag.
If no corrective action is taken by the pilot as angle of bank is increased, how is the vertical
component of lift and sink rate affected? - ANS Lift decreases and the sink rate increases.
If an aircraft with a gross weight of 2,500 pounds were subjected to a total load of 7,000 pounds
in flight, the load factor would be - ANS 2.8 G's.
In a light, twin-engine airplane with one engine inoperative, when is it acceptable to allow the
ball of a slip-skid indicator to be deflected outside the reference lines? - ANS When operating
at any airspeed of VMC or greater with only enough deflection to zero the side slip.

, What is the safest and most efficient takeoff and initial climb procedure in a light, twin-engine
airplane? - ANS Accelerate to an airspeed slightly above VMC, then lift off and climb at the
best rate-of-climb airspeed.
What criteria determines which engine is the "critical" engine of a twin-engine airplane? -
ANS The one with the center of thrust closest to the centerline of the fuselage.
What effect, if any, does altitude have on VMC for an airplane with unsupercharged engines? -
ANS Decreases with altitude.
Identify the type stability if the aircraft attitude remains in the new position after the controls
have been neutralized. - ANS Neutral longitudinal static stability.
If an engine failure occurs at an altitude above single-engine ceiling, what airspeed should be
maintained? - ANS VYSE.
When one engine on a twin-engine airplane fails, what is the resulting performance loss? -
ANS Reduction of climb by 80-90 percent or more.
Under what condition is VMC the highest? - ANS CG is at the most rearward allowable
position.
Identify the type stability if the aircraft attitude tends to return to its original position after the
controls have been neutralized. - ANS Positive static stability.
What effect does landing at high-elevation airports have on groundspeed with comparable
conditions (temperature, wind, and airplane weight)? - ANS Higher than at low elevation.
What flight condition should be expected if an aircraft leaves ground effect too early during
takeoff? - ANS An increase in induced drag requiring a higher angle of attack.
Which maximum range factor decreases as weight decreases? - ANS Airspeed.
