What is one purpose of wing flaps? -ANSWER✅✅✅To enable the pilot to make
steeper approaches to a landing without increasing the airspeed.
One of the main functions of flaps during approach and landing is to: -
ANSWER✅✅✅Increase the angle of descent without increasing the airspeed.
What is the purpose of the rudder on an airplane? -ANSWER✅✅✅To control yaw.
Which is not a primary flight control surface?
A. Flaps
B. Stabilator
C Ailerons -ANSWER✅✅✅A. Flaps
The elevator controls movement around which axis? -ANSWER✅✅✅Lateral.
Which statement is true concerning primary flight controls?
A. The effectiveness of each control surface increases with speed because there is
more flow over them
B. Only when all three primary flight controls move in sequence do the airflow and
pressure distribution change over and around the airfoil.
C. Primary flight controls include ailerons, rudder, elevator, and trim systems -
ANSWER✅✅✅A. The effectiveness of each control surface increases with speed
because there is more flow over them.
Which of the following is true concerning flaps?
A. Flaps are attached to the leading edge of the wing and are used to increase wing lift.
B. Flaps allow an increase in the angle of descent without increasing airspeed.
C. Flaps are high drag devices deployed from the wings to reduce lift. -
ANSWER✅✅✅B. Flaps allow and increase in the angle of descent without increasing
airspeed.
,Which device is a secondary flight control?
A. Spoilers
B. Ailerons
C. Stabilators -ANSWER✅✅✅A. Spoilers
Trim systems are designed to do what? -ANSWER✅✅✅They relieve the pilot of the
need to maintain constant back pressure on the flight controls.
The four forces acting on an airplane in flight are: -ANSWER✅✅✅Lift, Weight, Thrust,
& Drag
When are the four forces that act on an airplane in equilibrium? -ANSWER✅✅✅During
unaccelerated flight.
What is the relationship of lift, drag, thrust, and weight when the airplane is in straight-
and-level flight? -ANSWER✅✅✅Lift equals weight.
Thrust equals drag.
Which statement relates to Bernoulli's principle? -ANSWER✅✅✅Air traveling faster
over the curve upper surface of an airfoil causes lower pressure on the top surface.
The term "angle of attack" is defined as the angle... -ANSWER✅✅✅between the wing
chord line and the relative wind.
Angle of attack is defined as the chord line of an airfoil and the... -
ANSWER✅✅✅Direction of the relative wind.
The angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls will... -ANSWER✅✅✅Remain the
same regardless of gross weight.
As altitude increases, the indicated airspeed at which a given airplane stalls in a
particular configuration will... -ANSWER✅✅✅Remain the same regardless of altitude.
In what flight condition must an aircraft be placed in order to spin? -
ANSWER✅✅✅Stalled.
During a spin to the left, which wing(s) is/are stalled? -ANSWER✅✅✅Both wings are
stalled.
How will frost on the wings of an airplane affect takeoff performance? -
ANSWER✅✅✅Frost will disrupt the smooth flow of air over the wing, adversely
affecting its lifting capability.
, Why is frost considered hazardous to flight? -ANSWER✅✅✅Frost spoils the smooth
flow of air over the wings, thereby decreasing lifting capability.
How does frost affect the lifting surfaces of an airplane on takeoff? -
ANSWER✅✅✅Frost my prevent the airplane from becoming airborne at normal takeoff
speed.
What is ground effect? -ANSWER✅✅✅The result of inference of the surface of the
earth with the airflow patterns about an airplane.
Floating caused by the phenomenon of ground effect will be most realized during an
approach to land when at... -ANSWER✅✅✅Less than the length of the wingspan
above the surface.
What must a pilot be aware of as a result of ground effect? -ANSWER✅✅✅Induced
drag decreases; therefor, any excess speed at the point of flare may cause
considerable floating.
Ground effect is most likely to result in which problem? -ANSWER✅✅✅Becoming
airborne before reaching recommended takeoff speed.
What force makes an airplane turn? -ANSWER✅✅✅The horizontal component of lift.
An airplane said to be inherently stable will... -ANSWER✅✅✅require less effort to
control.
What determines the longitudinal stability of an airplane? -ANSWER✅✅✅The location
of the CG with respect to the center of lift.
Changes in the center of pressure of a wing affect the aircraft's... -
ANSWER✅✅✅Aerodynamic balance and controllability.
An airplane has been loaded in such a manner that the CG is located aft of the aft CG
limit. One undesirable flight characteristic a pilot might experience with this airplane
would be... -ANSWER✅✅✅Difficulty in recovering from a stalled condition.
What causes an airplane (except a T-tail) to pitch nosedown when power is reduced
and controls are not adjusted? -ANSWER✅✅✅The downwash on the elevators from
the propeller slipstream is reduced and the elevator effectiveness is reduced
Loading an airplane to the most aft CG will cause the airplane to be... -
ANSWER✅✅✅Less stable at all speeds.
