The four aerodynamic forces acting on an airplane are Correct Answer-Drag, lift,
thrust and weight
An airplane wing is designed to produce lift resulting from relatively Correct
Answer-Positive (High) air pressure below the wings surface and negative (Low)
air pressure above the wings surface
Flight Instruments Correct Answer-Airspeed Indicator Altimeter Attitude Indicator
Vertical Velocity Indicator
Engine Instruments Correct Answer-Tachometer Ammeter (battery)

Tachometer Correct Answer-Engine RPMS
Ammeter Correct Answer-Batter Power
Forces acting on an aircraft in a steady flight condition (no change in speed or
flight path) Correct Answer-Lift equals Weight Thrust equals Drag
A flashing green air traffic control signal directed to an aircraft on the surface is a
signal that the pilot Correct Answer-Is cleared to taxi
Steady red light signal from the tower to aircraft approaching to land Correct
Answer-Continue circling
Flashing red light signal from the tower to aircraft approaching to land Correct
Answer-Airport is unsafe for landing
Propeller blades are curved on one side and flat on the other side to Correct
Answer-Produce thrust
When in the down (extended) position wingflaps provide Correct Answer-Greater
lift and more drag
What makes an airplane turn Correct Answer-Horizontal componenet of lift
,What is one advantage of an airplane said to be inherently stable Correct Answer-
Airplane will require less effort to control
If the elevator trim tabs on the airplane are lowered, the plane will tend to Correct
Answer-Nose up
The pilot always advances the throttle during a Correct Answer-Climb
The pilot of an airplane can best detect the approach of a stall by the Correct
Answer-Ineffectiveness of the ailerons and elevator
It is ordinarily desirable to provide an unusually long flight strip at municipal
airports for the take-off of Correct Answer-Heavily loaded ships in still air

Cowling is located Correct Answer-Around the engine
Airport taxiways are identified at night by omni directional edge lights in what
color Correct Answer-Blue
, If the aircraft ammeter is indicating a minus value, this means the Correct Answer-
Generator or alternator output is inadequate
