is generally in-charge of manipulating the controls. Its responsibility is to
establish an atmosphere of open communication in the cockpit and ensure
that the suggestions and concerns of the copilot are validated and
considered carefully.

Answer 12

Pilot Flying

Question 13

is responsible for communications with ATC and navigation and gives
suggestions and correct the PIC if possible.

Answer 13

Pilot Monitoring

Question 14

a force that is produced by the dynamic effect of the air acting
on the airfoil, and acts perpendicular to the flight path. In
level flight, lift opposes the downward force of weight.

Answer 14

LIFT

Question 15

is the force generated by the gravitational attraction of the earth on the airplane or is the gravity that pulling your aircraft towards the center of the earth

Answer 15

Weight

Question 16

the force needed to overcome the resistance of air to the passage of an aircraft.

Answer 16

THRUST

Question 17

It refers to forces that oppose the relative motion of an object through the air. It always opposes the motion of the object.

Answer 17

DRAG

Question 18

caused by any aircraft surface which deflects or interferes with the smooth airflow around the airplane.

Answer 18

PARASITE DRAG

Question 19

results from turbulent wake caused by separation of airflow from the surface of a structure.

Answer 19

Form drag

Question 20

occurs when varied currents of air over an airplane meet and interact.

Answer 20

Interference drag

Question 21

caused by roughness of airplane’s surfaces. Rough surfaces create small eddies which contributes to drag

Answer 21

Skin friction drag

Question 22

Is generated by the airflow circulation around the wing as it creates lift.

If gravity and drag are bigger than lift and thrust, the plane goes

Answer 27

down

Question 28

prop spin causes longitudinal axis of a/c to spin in other direction

Answer 28

Torque effect

Question 29
