Q

What causes an airplane(except a T-tail) to pitch nosedown when power is reduced and controls are not adjusted?

Q

Which basic flight maneuver increases the load factor on an airplane as compared to straight and level flight?

A

Turns

21
Q

What force makes an airplane turn?

A

The horizontal component of lift

22
Q

During an approach to stall, an increased load factor will cause the airplane to

A

Stall at a higher airspeed

23
Q

Selecting a he four flight fundamentals involved in maneuvering an aircraft

A

Straight and level flight, turns, climbs, and descents

24
Q

If an emergency situation requires a downwind landing, pilots should expect a faster…

A

Groundspeed at touchdown, a longer ground roll, and the likelihood of overshooting the desired touchdown point

25
Q

When executing an emergency approach to land in a single engine airplane, it is important to maintain a constant glide speed because variations in glide speed…

A

Nullify all attempts at accuracy in judgement of gliding distance and landing spot

26
Q

As altitude increases, the indicated airspeed at which a given airplane stalls in a particular configuration will…

A

Remain the same regardless of altitude

27
Q

The direct cause of evey stall is excessive

A

Angle of attack

28
Q

In what flight condition must an aircraft be placed in order to spin?

A

Stalled

29
Q

During a spin to left, which wing is stalled?

A

Both wings are stalled

30
Q

The angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls will….

A

Remain the same regardless of gross weight

31
Q

One of the main functions if flaps during approach and landing is to…

A

Increase the angle of descent without increasing the airspeed

32
Q

What is one purpose of wing flaps?

A

To enable the pilot to take steeper approaches to a landing without increasing the airspeed

33
Q

Ground effect is most likely yo result in which problem?

A

Becoming airborne before reaching recommended takeoff speed

34
Q

What is ground effect?

A

The result of the interference of the surface of the Earth with the airflow patterns about am airplane.

35
Q

Floating causes by the phenomenon of ground effect will be most realized during an approach to land when at…

A

Less than the length of the wingspan above the surface.

36
Q

What must a pilot be aware of as a result of ground effect?

A

Induced drag decreases; therefore, any excess speed at the point of flare may cause considerable floating

37
Q

Which is a result of the phenomenon of ground effect?

A

The angle of attack generating lift is increased

38
Q

An aircraft leaving ground effect during takeoff will

A

Experience an increase in induced drag and a decrease in performance.

39
Q

When landing behind a large aircraft, which procedure should be followed for vortex avoidance?

A

Atay above its final approach flightpath all the way to touchdown.

40
Q

How does the wake turbulence vortex circulate around each wingtip?

A

Outward, inward, and around each tip

41
Q

When taking off or landing at an airport where heavy aircraft are operating, one should be particularly alert to the hazards of wingtip vortices because this turbulence tends to

A

Sink into the flightpath of aircraft operating below the aircraft generating the turbulence

42
Q

Wingtip vortices are created only when an aircraft is…

A

Developing lift

43
Q

The greatest vortex strength occurs when the generating aircraft is

A

Heavy, clean, and slow

44
Q

Wingtip vortices created by large aircraft tend to…

A

Sink below the aircraft generating turbulence

45
Q

The wind condition that requires maximum caution when avoiding wake turbulence on landing is a

A

Light, quartering tailwind

46
Q

When landing behind a large aircraft, the pilot should avoid wake turbulence by staying

A

Above the large aircraft’s final approach path and landing beyond the large aircraft’s touchdown point.

47
Q

When departing behind a heavy aircraft, the pilot should avoid wake turbulence by maneuvering the aircraft…

A

Above and upwind from the heavy aircraft.

48
Q

What wind condition prolongs the hazards of wake turbulence on a landing runway for the longest period of time?

A

Light quartering tailwind

49
Q

A go-around from a poor landing approach

A

Is preferable to last minute attempts to prevent a bad landing.
