AT 144 EXAM 1 PART 1 QUESTIONS WITH
ANSWERS 100% SOLVED
What are the four forces on an aircraft? - ANSWER lift
weight
thrust
drag
From the center of gravity, what direction does weight always act? - ANSWER towards
the center of the Earth
What is the name of the line between the leading edge and trailing edge? - ANSWER
chord line
Lift is mainly caused by: - ANSWER pressure differential between the top of the wing and
the bottom of the wing
Angle of Attack and Pitch are the same thing? t/f - ANSWER False
The angle of attack is? - ANSWER angle between chord line and relative wind
During flight under smooth air, relative wind is produced by: - ANSWER the flight path of
,the plane
In straight and level unaccelerated flight: - ANSWER lift equals weight and thrust equals
drag
The use of flaps: - ANSWER decreases stall speed, increases lift and drag, and for the
same power setting and airspeed flaps increase the angle of descent
An airplane will stall: - ANSWER (high angle of attack) at various pitch attitudes and with
any amount of power
As the angle of bank is increased in a level turn, the stalling speed: - ANSWER increases
The angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls will - ANSWER remain the same
If a plane weighs 3,300 lbs, what approximate weight would the plane be required to
support during a 30 degree banked turn while maintaining alt? - ANSWER 3960
Which is not a flap - ANSWER slatted
What are the three types of parasitic drag? - ANSWER form
skin friction
interference
, The phenomenon of ground effect is most likely to result in which problem in an
airplane? - ANSWER becoming airborne before reaching recommended take off speed
As the airspeed of the airplane increases: - ANSWER parasite drag increases & induced
drag decreases
propeller has less efficiency & altitude increases
When rolling the airplane into a right bank which aileron is up? - ANSWER right
Once an airplane is rolled into a bank it turns because of - ANSWER the horizontal
component of lift
Adverse yaw is a force that is present as an airplane is rolled into or out of a bank and is
caused by: - ANSWER -the drag of the downward deflected aileron
-use rudder to counterbalance
What happens in a skidding turn? - ANSWER too much rudder, rate of turn is too fast for
angle of bank
If severe turbulence is encountered, the airplane's airspeed should be reduced to -
ANSWER Va-maneuvering speed
