Aircraft Flashcards
Where is the nationality mark of an aircraft selected from?
It shall be selected from the series of symbols included in the radio call signs allocated to the state of registry by the ITU. The nationality mark shall be notified to the ICAO.
How is the registration mark constructed?
The registration mark shall be letters, numbers or a combination of letters and numbers.
Which combinations shall not be used in registration marks?
When letters are used for the registration mark, combinations shall not be used which might be confused with the five letter combinations used in the international code of signals, three letter combinations beginning with Q used in the Q code, and with the distress signal SOS or other urgent signals
how shall nationality or registration marks be applied to an aicraft?
The nationality or common mar and registration mark shall be painted on the aircraft or shall be affixed by any other means ensuring a similar degree of permanence. The marks shall be kept clean and visible at all times.
What are the classifications of aircraft?
heavier than air, lighter than air
What are the four forces affecting an airplane in flight?
Weight, drag, thrust and lift
Explain thrust as a force acting on an aircraft in flight.
A manmade force that counteracts the drag. It is supplied by the power plant (engine)
Explain drag as a force acting on an aircraft in flight.
A natural force that resists objects moving throught the air. It is not present in a vacuum and is determined by size, shape, speed, density of air and amount of friction.
Explain weight as a force acting on an aircraft in flight.
A natural force acting downward and affects all objects in the air or on the ground. It is the force of gravity acting on an object
Explain lift as a force acting on an aircraft in flight.
A man made force that counteracts weight. It is supplied by the wings and otherlift devices.
What are the parts of an aircraft?
Landing gear, propeller, horizontal tail wing, vertical tail wing, main wing, flaps, airplane sensors,
Who assigns registration marks to an aircraft ?
The state of registry or a common mark registration authority.
Who assigns registration marks to an aircraft ?
The state of registry or a common mark registration authority.
What are the wings of the plane and their function?
The wings are the most important lift producing part of the aircraft.
What is the empennage of a plane and what is its function?
The empennage or tail assembly provides stability and control for the aircraft.
