Aviation information Flashcards
The small hinged section on the elevator of most airplanes is known as the:
a) alieron
b) flap
c) stabilator
d) elevator
e) trim tab
e) trim tab
The trim tab helps prevent or minimize pilot fatigue by relieving control pressure at the desired flight angle.

A runway with the Approach Lighting System (ALS) would show an incoming pilot
a) a part of sunchronized flashing lights at the runway threshhold.
b) a series of lightbars and/or strobe lights extending outward from the runway approach end.
c) white elevated lights running the length of the runway on both sides
d) white lights embedded in the runway centerline at 50-foot intervals.
e) unidirectional blue lights.
b) A runway with the Approach Lighting System (ALS) would show an incoming pilot
a series of lightbars and/or strobe lights extending outward from the runway approach end.
The thrust of a turbojet is developed by compressing air in the inlet and compressor, mixing the air w/ fuel and burning it in the combustor, &
a) venting the combusted air through side nozzles.
b) rerouting the airflow through the compressor for extra power
c) expanding the gas stream through the turbine and nozzle
d) using the resulting accelerated airflow to turn the propeller shaft
e) diffusing the gas stream through the designated relief valves
c) The thrust of a turbojet is developed by compressing air in the inlet and compressor, mixing the air w/ fuel and burning it in the combustor, &
expanding the gas stream through the turbine and nozzle.
A ramjet engine consists of
a) an intake, a compressor, a combustion chamber, and an outlet
b) an inlet, a turbine, a compressor, and a nozzle
c) an intake, a compression chamber, and a nozzle
d) an inlet, a combustion zone, and a nozzle
e) an inlet, a compression chamber, a turbine, and a nozzle
d) A ramjet engine consists of
an inlet, a combustion zone, and a nozzle.
The ramjet does not have a compressor and turbine as the turbojet does. Air enters the inlet, where it is compressed; it then enters the combustion zone, where it is mixed w/ fuel and burned. The hot gases are then expelled through the nozzle, developing thrust.
On a conventional fixed-wing aircraft, the ________ maintain(s) pitch and the ________ maintain(s) yaw.
a) elevators, rudder
b) horizontal stabilizers, vertical stabilizer
c) alierons, stabilator
d) rudder, elevators
e) trim tabs, wing flaps
b) On a conventional fixed-wing aircraft, the __Horizontal stabilizer__ maintain(s) pitch and the __Vertical stabilizer__ maintain(s) yaw.
If a pilot wishes to CHANGE pitch or yaw, he uses elevator and rudders, respectively.
The degree of movement of an aircraft around its longitudinal axis is known as
a) pitch
b) sideslip
c) yaw
d) angle of attack
e) bank
e) bank
The movement itself is known as “roll”
Nautical mile equals to
……
Statutory miles
1.15
IFF
Identification Friend or Foe
What’s categorized as secondary flight controls?
Flaps
Aircraft is identified as “heavy” when ….
It weighs more than 250, 000 lbs of gross weight
10 knots is equivalent to how many nautical miles per hour?
10
A minimally safe airspeed descent is principally used
When clearing obstacles during landing.
When entering a climb from level flight the weight of the aircraft
Results in increased drag.
When airplane enters a climb, it changes its flight path from level flight to an inclined plane or climb attitude. In a climb, weight no longer acts in a direction perpendicular to the flight path.
It acts rearward direction. This causes an increase in total drag.
