AE104

Question 1

Maximum range is defined as?

Answer 1

maximum distance an aircraft can fly on a given amount of fuel

Question 2

Critical Mach number is defined as?

Answer 2

Mach number that produces the first evidence of local supersonic flow

Question 3

Flying at what speed will give you the most distance for the airplane’s altitude if the engine fails?

Answer 3

Best glide speed (125 knots)

Question 4

A headwind will do what to maximum glide range?

Answer 4

Decrease it

Question 5

Landing roll is decreased by what?

Answer 5

Decreased weight
Increased density
Decreased altitude 
Decreased temperature 
Increased camber
Headwind

Question 6

P-factor is caused by what?

Answer 6

one propeller blade creating more thrust than its opposing blade

Question 7

If the propeller rotates clockwise, torque is…?

Answer 7

torque is opposite or counterclockwise

Question 8

Turn rate and radius are based on what factors?

Answer 8

Velocity, bank angle

Question 9

In a skid, the balance ball of the turn and bank indicator is where?

Answer 9

Deflected in the opposite direction of the turn

Question 10

Thrust must increase in a turn due to the increase in what?

Answer 10

Drag

Question 11

Load factor is the ratio of what?

Answer 11

Load/weight

Question 12

Limit load factor is defined as?

Answer 12

the greatest load factor an airplane can sustain without risk of permanent deformation or damage

Question 13

Asymmetric G limits are lower than symmetric, why?

Answer 13

Because the lift on the up-going wing is experiencing more G than what is read on the accelerometer

Question 14

The G force required to maintain a 60° bank level turn is?

Answer 14

2 G

Question 15

What is Positive static stability?

Answer 15

the initial tendency of an object to return to its original equilibrium

Question 16

What is neutral dynamic stability?

Answer 16

It is where oscillations never dampen but remain at a constant amplitude

Question 17

Which definition of stability is this:
After a disturbance that rolls the airplane, “…it generates forces that reduce the bank angle and returns it to wings-level”

Answer 17

lateral stability

Question 18

Cross-coupling causes what?

Answer 18

Spiral and directional divergence

Question 19

A PIO in the pitch axis is the result of what?

Answer 19

the pilot and the inherent longitudinal stability of the airplane simultaneously trying to correct for
the same oscillations

Question 20

Max range is defined as?

Answer 20

the farthest distance an airplane can travel on a given amount of fuel

Question 21

Max endurance is what?

Answer 21

the maximum time that an airplane can remain airborne on a given amount of fuel

Question 22

Max glide range (flown at Best Glide Speed) is obtained how?

Answer 22

By flying at L/DMAX airspeed

Question 23

Gaining the most altitude in a given amount of time is obtained how?

Answer 23

By climbing at Max Rate of Climb

Answer 26

Amount of degrees per second

Question 27

Critical Mach is defined as ?

Answer 27

the Mach number that produces the first evidence of local supersonic flow

Question 28

Sideslip angle is what?

Answer 28

the difference between the flightpath and the longitudinal axis

Question 29

When flying at maximum endurance airspeed in the T-6A, increasing AOA to maintain level flight
will result in what (airspeed and power)?

Answer 29

slower airspeed requiring more power

Question 30

How can takeoff distance be reduced?

Answer 30

Decrease weight
Increase headwind
Increase density
Decrease temperature
Decrease altitude
Increase camber
