Chapter 2.2 - Exam Review

Question 1

How is the Pitch Attitude of an Aircraft controlled?

Answer 1

Elevators.

Question 2

What is movement around the longitudinal axis called and how is it controlled?

Answer 2

Roll.

Question 3

What primary control is used to control Yaw?

Answer 3

Rudder.

Question 4

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)?

Answer 4

Roll.

Question 5

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?

Answer 5

• Roll.

- Yaw.

Question 6

A further effect of ‘up’ Elevator is to (increase/decrease) Airspeed?

Answer 6

Decrease.

Question 7

At (low/high) Airspeeds, control effectiveness (for all three primary controls) is increased?

Answer 7

High.

Question 8

When the Control Wheel is pushed forward, the nose of the Aircraft pitches (up/down)?

Answer 8

Down.

Question 9

Does an increase in Airspeed will Pitch the nose up or down?

Answer 9

Up.

Question 10

In straight and level flight, the Angle of Attack is (increased/decreased) as the Airspeed decreased?

Answer 10

Increased.

Question 11

The effectiveness of the Elevators and Rudder is increased with an (increase/decrease) in power?

Answer 11

Increase.

Question 12

Why are the Ailerons unaffected by an increase in power?

Answer 12

Ailerons are outside of Propeller slipstream.

Question 13

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?

Answer 13

• Yaws nose to the Left.

- Use of Right Rudder.

Question 14

An increase in power tends to Pitch the nose (up/down)?

Answer 14

Up.

Question 15

The last 20° to 30° of Flap deflection has a greater effect on (Lift/Drag)?

Answer 15

Drag.

Question 16

Lift is more influenced by the (first/last) 20° to 30° of Flap deflection?

Answer 16

First.

Question 17

Raising Flaps causes an Aircraft to (Balloon/Sink) unless the nose is (raised/lowered)?

Answer 17

• Sink.

- Raise.

Question 18

What is the purpose of the Elevator Trim Control?

Answer 18

Reduce Pitch control force.

Question 19

A landing Aircraft that is too slow and/or low at the threshold has a (deficit/excess) of energy?

Answer 19

Deficit.

Question 20

What two factors balance flight path angle and acceleration in the energy equation of an Aircraft in flight?

Answer 20

Trust and Drag.

Question 21

In fixed thrust flight, Airspeed is normally controlled with the (Throttle/Elevators or Stabilator)?

Answer 21

Elevators or Stabilator.

Question 22

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?

Answer 22

True.

Question 23

In a constant Thrust/Constant IAS climb, the Aircraft’s kinetic energy is (increasing/decreasing)?

Answer 23

Increasing.
