yellow, white
Quiz: lift differential that exists between the advancing main rotor blade and
the retreating rotor blade is known as?, Ans: Dis-symmetry of lift
Quiz: to maintain the desired hovering altitude (no wind conditions ) you
must?, Ans: change the amount of main rotor thrust
Quiz: Density altitude at sea level is, Ans: 29.92 inHg (inches of mercury) at
15 degrees C

,Quiz: What actions should you take if engine failure occurs at altitude?, Ans:
lower the collective pitch control to maintain rotor RPM
Quiz: during a hover, a helicopter tends to drift right. to compensate for this
some helicopters?, Ans: rotor mast is rigged to the left side
Quiz: if the rpm is low and manifold pressure is high what initial corrective
action should be taken?, Ans: lower the collective pitch
Quiz: high air speeds especially in turbulent air should be avoided because
the possibility of ?, Ans: the retreating blade to stall in forward flight, stalls are
more likely to occur under conditions of high gross weight, low rpm, high
density altitude, steep or abrupt turns, and or turbulent flight.
Quiz: translation lift is the result of?, Ans: Airspeed
Quiz: during surface taxi the collective pitch is used to control?, Ans: the rate
of speed. the higher the collective pitch the higher the taxi speed.
Quiz: the upward bending of the rotor blades resulting from the
combination of lift and centrifugal forces is known as, Ans: coning
Quiz: the tail rotor produces thrust and is variable through the use of ?, Ans:
anti torque pedals

,Quiz: medium frequency vibrations would be associated with, Ans: defects in
tail rotor
Quiz: while in cruise level flight, low frequency vibrations (100-400 cycles per
minute) are usually associated with?, Ans: always associated with the main
rotor
Quiz: a stall is the results of ?, Ans: exceeding the angle of attack
Quiz: What is ground effect ?, Ans: the result of interference of the surface
Quiz: the primary purpose of the tail rotor system is to ?, Ans: counteract
the torque effect of the main rotor
Quiz: the most effective method of scanning for other aircraft for collision
avoidance during daylight hours is to use ?, Ans: a series of short regularly
spaced eye movements that bring successive areas of the sky into the central
visual field each movement should not exceed 10 degrees and each area
should be observed for at least one second to enable detection
Quiz: translation lift is the result of ?, Ans: increased rotor efficiency
Quiz: in a no wind condition, which control is used to change heading?, Ans:
cyclic control

, Quiz: a helicopter that is improperly loaded with a CG forward of forward
limits will ?, Ans: *have a nose low altitude * need excessive rearward
displacement of the cyclic to maintain hover
Quiz: the wind conditions that requires the most caution when avoiding
wake turbulence on landing is, Ans: light tail winds because they can move the
vortices of a preceding aircraft forward into the anticipated touch down zone
of another
Quiz: when operating at high forward air speeds, retreating blade stall are
more likely to occur under which conditions?, Ans: high gross weight, low rpm,
high density altitude, steep or adrupt turns, and or turbulent flight
Quiz: to initiate a quick stop ?, Ans: aft the cyclic and simultaneously lower
the collective pitch
Quiz: if possible when departing from a defined area what type of take off is
preferred?, Ans: a normal take off from a hover should be made in confined
areas
Quiz: under what conditions should a pilot consider using a running take
off?, Ans: when gross weight or density altitude prevents a sustained hover at
normal hovering altitude. this is often referred to as high density altitude
takeoff
Quiz: ground effect is most likely to result in what, Ans: becoming airborne
before reaching appropriated speeds.
