Q

The ability of an aircraft to move around the longitudinal axis

A

Roll control

17
Q

That ability of an aircraft to counteract the affects of the role, counter control, is based on two things:

A

The wingspan of the aircraft, the counter control capability of the aircraft

18
Q

Hazardous conditions occur when the induced roll exceeds the level of ____.

A

Roll control

19
Q

Counter control of the most effective and roll is minimal when the wingspan and the ailerons extend beyond the ____of the vortex

A

Edge

20
Q

A hovering helicopter creates a downwash from its main rotors that can travel up to how far

A

Three times the diameter of the rotar

21
Q

What must a helicopter be doing in order to generate wingtip vortices

A

Be in forward flight

22
Q

Jet engine exhaust, thrust stream turbulence

A

Jet blast

23
Q

Why is the controller not responsible for anticipating the existence or effects of wake turbulence

A

Because it is unpredictable

24
Q

Wake turbulence has the greatest impact on Atc in the areas of

A

Increase separation and traffic management delays
