questions With Correct Answers
TRUE/FALSE
The VSI displays instantaneous information. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-False
| | | | | | |
The uncontrolled firing of the fuel/air charge in advance of normal sparking
| | | | | | | | | | | |
ignition is known as: - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Pre-ignition
| | | | | |
What causes an airplane (except a T-tail) to pitch nosedown when power is
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
reduced and controls are not adjusted? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The downwash
| | | | | | | | | |
on the elevators from the propeller slipstream is reduced and elevator
| | | | | | | | | | |
effectiveness is reduced. | |
During a spin to the left, which wing(s) is/are stalled? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Both wings are stalled
| | |
One of the main functions of flaps on a wing is to: - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Mitigate a stall by increasing the camber of the wing.
| | | | | | | | |
On an aircraft equipped with fuel pumps, when is the auxiliary electric driven
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
pump used? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-In the event that the engine-driven fuel
| | | | | | | | | | |
pump fails. |
, What is the purpose of the rudder on an airplane? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-To
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
control yaw |
Excessively high engine temperatures, either in the air or on the ground will: -
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Cause loss of power, excessive oil consumption, and
| | | | | | | | |
possible permanent internal engine damage.
| | | |
Which statement relates to Bernoulli's Principle? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Air
| | | | | | | | |
traveling faster over the curved upper surface of an airfoil causes lower pressure
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
on the top surface.
| | |
If the grade of fuel used in an aircraft engine is lower than specified for the
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
engine, it will most likely cause: - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Detonation
| | | | | | | |
What are the three primary flight controls? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Elevator,
| | | | | | | | | |
Ailerons, and Rudder | |
The apparent weight you and the airplane feel is called the ____ Force. -
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-G |
Which basic flight maneuver increases the load factor on an airplane as compared
| | | | | | | | | | | |
to straight-and-level flight? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Turns
| | | | | |
Which type of fuel can be substituted for an aircraft if the recommended octane
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
is not available? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The next higher octane of aviation gas.
