GLEIM AVIATION PRIVATE PILOT STUDY
UNITS 1-2 QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED
ANSWERS { GRADED A+}
During preflight in cold weather, crankcase breather lines should receive special
attention because they are susceptible to being clogged by - ✔✔ice from
crankcase vapors that have condensed and subsequently frozen.
What is one purpose of wing flaps? - ✔✔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 -
✔✔increase the angle of descent without increasing the airspeed.
What is the purpose of the rudder on an airplane? - ✔✔To control yaw.
4) Which is not a primary flight control surface? - ✔✔Flaps
The elevator controls movement around which axis? - ✔✔lateral
,Which statement is true concerning primary flight controls? - ✔✔The
effectiveness of each control surface increases with speed because there is more
airflow over them.
Which of the following is true concerning flaps? - ✔✔Flaps allow an increase in
the angle of descent without increasing airspeed.
Which device is a secondary flight control? - ✔✔Spoilers
Trim systems are designed to do what? - ✔✔They relieve the pilot of the need to
maintain constant pressure on the flight controls.
The four forces acting on an airplane in flight are - ✔✔Lift, Weight, thrust, and
drag.
When are the four forces that act on an airplane in equilibrium? - ✔✔During
unaccelerated level flight.
What is the relationship of lift, drag, thrust, and weight when the airplane is in
straight-and-level flight? - ✔✔Lift equals weight and thrust equals drag.
Which statement relates to Bernoulli's principle? - ✔✔Air traveling faster over the
curved upper surface of an airfoil causes lower pressure on the top surface.
, The term "angle of attack" is defined as the angle between the - ✔✔chord line of
the wing and the relative wind.
The angle between the chord line of an airfoil and the relative wind is known as the
angle of. - ✔✔Attack.
the angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls will. - ✔✔remain the same
regardless of gross weight.
As altitude increases, the indicated airspeed at which a given airplane stalls in a
particular configuration will - ✔✔remain the same regardless of altitude.
In what flight condition must an aircraft be placed in order to spin? - ✔✔Stalled.
During a spin to the left, which wing(s) is/are stalled? - ✔✔Both wings are
stalled.
What is ground effect? - ✔✔the result of the interference 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 - ✔✔less than the length of the wingspan above the
surface.
