AFOQT Practice test questions WITH Solutions
What altitude is displayed on the aircraft altimeter - -Pressure
-What occurs as a result of a forward center of gravity - -Difficulty applying upward pitch
-What type of environmental condition yields the greatest aircraft performance - -Sea
level and cold
-Describe how to recover from a stall - -Decrease pitch and increase power
-Dead reckoning navigation involves - -Utilizing a previously known position and using
time/distance equations to estimate present position
-The rudder controls - -Yaw
-What effect do the flaps have on landing distance? - -Decrease
-When the aircraft yoke or control wheel is moved to the right what happens to the right
aileron? - -Moves upward
-How does ice accumulated on the aircraft's wings affect the stall speed - -Increase
-What conditions are conducive to fog formation - -Low temp dew point spread and calm
winds. Especially in low lying valleys and coastal areas
-In straight and level flight with the autopilot disengaged, after adding power or thrust the
aircraft will - -Climb

up

Using a 3° descent profile, how far away from the 3,000' constraint must the descent be
initiated - -30 miles
