1:11: Velocity versus G Loads

Question 1

In smooth air and with wings level, the airplane is flying at 1G. The speed at which the airplane stalls is

Answer 1

Vs1

Question 2

Structural damage or failure is more likely to occur in smooth air at speeds above

A. VNO.
B. VA.
C. VNE.

Answer 2

Vne

Question 3

Limit load factor is the ratio of

A. angle of attack to stall speed.
B. angle of attack to power-on configuration-specific stall speed.
C. maximum sustainable load to the gross weight of the airplane.

Answer 3

maximum sustainable load to the gross weight of the airplane.

Question 4

(Referring to the V-G diagram) A positive load factor of 2 at 80 mph would cause the airplane to

A. stall.
B. break apart.
C. operate normally, as it is within the normal operating range.

Answer 4

stall

Question 5

(Referring to the V-G diagram) What load factor would be created if positive 15 feet per second gusts were encountered at 120 mph?

A. 2.8
B. 3.0
C. 2.0

Answer 5

load factor of 2.0

Question 6

(Referring to the V-G diagram) The airspeed indicated by points A and J is

A. maximum structural cruising speed.
B. normal stall speed.
C. maneuvering speed.

Answer 6

Normal stall speed

Question 7

What is Va?

Answer 7

Va is design maneuvering speed, which is the airspeed that an airplane can be stalled without exceeding its structural (or load) limits.

Question 8

Vno is

Answer 8

Vno is the maximum structural cruising speed, or maximum normal operating speed, and is shown on the airspeed indicator at the upper limit of the green arc.

Question 9

Vne is

Answer 9

Vne is the airplane’s never-exceed speed and is marked by the red line on the airspeed indicator.

Question 10

What is the range between Vno to Vne?

Answer 10

The airspeed range between Vno to Vne is the caution range and is the yellow arc on the airspeed indicator.

Question 11

Vs denotes?

Answer 11

stall speed.
