AVIA 305 (COL. MAC) FINAL (TESTS 2-4)
QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED ANSWER;
100% CORRECT
A better wary to climb, which will work at any speed is to control
the airspeed with the stick and add throttle to climb
a) true
b) false - correct answer- a) true
A jet airplane is flying to obtain maximum specific range. As fuel
is burned the pilot must
a) reduce throttle but maintain the same airspeed
b) maintain throttle setting and let the airplane accelerate
c) reduce throttle and airspeed
d) maintain throttle and reduce airspeed - correct answer-
c) reduce throttle and airspeed
A lightly loaded airplane will be able to glide farther but at a
lower airspeed than when it is heavily loaded
a) true
b) false - correct answer- b) false
,A lightly loaded propeller airplane will be able to glide _____
when it is heavily loaded
a) farther than
b) less far than
c) the same distance as - correct answer- c) the same
distance as
A low angle, high power (or thrust) approach
a) may be used for propeller aircraft if a short field landing is
required
b) is dangerous for propeller aircraft if an engine fails
c) should be avoided at any cost for jet airplanes as high induced
drag results
d) all of the above - correct answer- d) all of the above
A Low tailed airplane with static ports beneath the wings leaves
the ground effect after takeoff it will,
a. increased drag, nose up pitch, lowered IAS
b. increased drag, nose up pitch, higher IAS
c. decreased drag, nose up pitch, lowered IAS
d. decreased drag, nose up pitch, higher IAS - correct
answer- b. increased drag, nose up pitch, higher IAS
,A pilot is flying an airplane at the speed for best range under no
wind conditions. A tail wind is encountered. To get best range
now the pilot must,
a) speed up by an amount less than the wind speed
b) slow down by an amount equal to the wind speed
c) slow down by an amount more to the wind speed
d) slow down by an amount less to the wind speed - correct
answer- d) slow down by an amount less to the wind speed
A propeller aircraft in the dirty condition shows that the Pr
moves up and to the left over the clean configuration. This is
because
a) the increase in the induced Pr is more at low speed
b) the increase is mostly due to parasite Pr
c) both induced Pr and parasite Pr increase by the same amount
- correct answer- b) the increase is mostly due to parasite
Pr
A steep, low-power approach is more dangerous for heavy
planes than light airplanes because
a) recovery from a high rate of descent involves a great increase
in power (or thrust)
, b) the aircraft will float down the runway and possibly overshoot
the runway
c) flaring the aircraft decreases the rate of descent and increases
induced drag
d) both (a) and (c) - correct answer- d) both (a) and (c)
Adverse pressure gradient on an airfoil is found
a. from the point of maximum thickness to the leading edge
b. near the stagnation point at the leading edge
c. from the point of minimum pressure to the trailing edge
d. both (a) and (c) - correct answer- c. from the point of
minimum pressure to the trailing edge
Aerodynamic drag is more effective than wheel braking during
the first part of landing
a) true
b) false - correct answer- a) true
Air in the boundary layer
a. has zero velocity at the wing surface
b. is turbulent near the leading edge
