Private Pilot Stage 1 Exam
What are the characteristics of a monocoque airplane structure? - ANS-Almost all
structural loads are carried by the outer skin of the airplane.
Which control surfaces are usually located on the empennage? - ANS-Rudder, elevator,
stabilator
What condition must be present for carburetor ice to form? - ANS-High relative humidity
A power loss occurs when you apply carburetor heat because - ANS-less dense air is
entering the engine.
Detonation can be described as - ANS-fuel in the cylinders exploding instead of burning
smoothly.
If the engine magneto switch is turned to the "OFF" position, but the engine continues to
run, the probable cause is - ANS-a broken magneto ground wire.
Excessive cylinder head and engine oil temperatures can be caused by - ANS-using a
lower-than-normal fuel grade.
The three pressure instruments connected to the pitot-static system are the -
ANS-airspeed indicator, altimeter, and vertical speed indicator.
According to the markings on the accompanying airspeed indicator, what is the
maximum speed with flaps fully extended? - ANS-85 knots (white arc)
Assume that you land at an airport with the altimeter set to 29.92 instead of the current
setting of 30.00. What will the altimeter read if the field elevation is 2,000 feet MSL? -
ANS-2,080 feet MSL (10 feet per .01 in. Hg.)
The turn coordinator provides a direct indication of aircraft - ANS-rate of turn.
The attitude indicator reflects the airplane's movement about the - ANS-longitudinal and
lateral axes.
