Chapter 2.2 - Exam Review Flashcards
How is the Pitch Attitude of an Aircraft controlled?
Elevators.
What is movement around the longitudinal axis called and how is it controlled?
Roll.
What primary control is used to control Yaw?
Rudder.
The initial effect of the Rudder is to Yaw (turn) the Aircraft. What is its further effect if the Rudder is held (without moving the other controls)?
Roll.
If the right Aileron is deflected down and held (and no controls are moved), the Aircraft will initially (Roll/Yaw) to the left, then sideslip to the left and finally, (Roll/Yaw) to the left?
- Roll.
- Yaw.
A further effect of ‘up’ Elevator is to (increase/decrease) Airspeed?
Decrease.
At (low/high) Airspeeds, control effectiveness (for all three primary controls) is increased?
High.
When the Control Wheel is pushed forward, the nose of the Aircraft pitches (up/down)?
Down.
Does an increase in Airspeed will Pitch the nose up or down?
Up.
In straight and level flight, the Angle of Attack is (increased/decreased) as the Airspeed decreased?
Increased.
The effectiveness of the Elevators and Rudder is increased with an (increase/decrease) in power?
Increase.
Why are the Ailerons unaffected by an increase in power?
Ailerons are outside of Propeller slipstream.
For clockwise rotating Propellers (as viewed from the Cockpit), what effect does increasing power have on the Aircraft’s movement about the normal axis? How can this movement be counteracted?
- Yaws nose to the Left.
- Use of Right Rudder.
An increase in power tends to Pitch the nose (up/down)?
Up.
The last 20° to 30° of Flap deflection has a greater effect on (Lift/Drag)?
Drag.
Lift is more influenced by the (first/last) 20° to 30° of Flap deflection?
First.
Raising Flaps causes an Aircraft to (Balloon/Sink) unless the nose is (raised/lowered)?
- Sink.
- Raise.
What is the purpose of the Elevator Trim Control?
Reduce Pitch control force.
A landing Aircraft that is too slow and/or low at the threshold has a (deficit/excess) of energy?
Deficit.
What two factors balance flight path angle and acceleration in the energy equation of an Aircraft in flight?
Trust and Drag.
In fixed thrust flight, Airspeed is normally controlled with the (Throttle/Elevators or Stabilator)?
Elevators or Stabilator.
True of False. During cruise and powered descents (fixed flight path), normally rate of descent or height is controlled with the Elevators and Airspeed is controlled with the Throttle?
True.
In a constant Thrust/Constant IAS climb, the Aircraft’s kinetic energy is (increasing/decreasing)?
Increasing.
