AFH 10 EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS GRADED A+ 2025/2026
What are the basic flight maneuvers taught to pilots? - ANS Straight-and-level flight, turns,
climbs, and descents.
What is the purpose of performance maneuvers? - ANS To enhance a pilot's proficiency in
flight control, maneuver planning, situational awareness, and division of attention.
What should a pilot demonstrate before training in performance maneuvers? -
ANS Consistent competency in fundamental skills.
What is the recommended approach for initial training in performance maneuvers? -
ANS Begin with a detailed ground lesson for each maneuver.
What are steep turns in aviation? - ANS Turns consisting of single to multiple 360° and 720°
turns using a bank angle between 45° and 60°.
What skills do steep turns help develop in pilots? - ANS Flight control smoothness,
coordination, awareness of airplane orientation, and hazard scanning.
What are the effects of higher G-forces during steep turns? - ANS Increased load factors and
potential difficulty with orientation and movement.

, What is the load factor produced in a level altitude 45° banked turn? - ANS 1.41.
What is the load factor produced in a level altitude 60° banked turn? - ANS 2.0.
What happens to the effective weight of the aircraft during a 60° banked turn? - ANS The
effective weight of the aircraft doubles.
What is the relationship between load factor and stalling speed? - ANS As load factor
increases, stalling speed increases.
What is the maximum bank angle that can be maintained in level flight without exceeding
structural limitations? - ANS Determined by the airplane's limiting load factor.
What is the significance of the airplane's design maneuvering speed (VA)? - ANS Steep turns
should be performed at an airspeed that does not exceed VA.
What is 'overbanking tendency' in steep turns? - ANS The airplane continues rolling in the
direction of the bank unless opposite aileron pressure is applied.
What should a pilot do before starting any practice maneuver? - ANS Ensure the area is clear
of air traffic and hazards.
What should pilots do to maintain altitude during steep turns? - ANS Increase the angle of
attack (AOA) and add power as needed.
What happens to drag as the angle of attack increases? - ANS Drag increases.
