AVIA 305 (COL. MAC) TEST #3 QUESTIONS
AND VERIFIED ANSWERS; 100% CORRECT
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 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
As a propeller airplane burns up fuel, to fly for maximum range,
the airspeed must
a) remain the same
