General 2

Question 1

While performing eights-on-pylons, the turn-and-slip indicator appears as

shown in ‘2.’ The pilot must

Answer 1

increase altitude to obtain the correct pivotal altitude, and correct the skidding turn.

Question 2

Misuse of rudder in attempting to hold the pylon during the performance

of eights on pylons will result in which turn and slip indiciation?

Answer 2

1 id above pivotal altotide 2 if below the privotal altitude

Question 3

What are the Common errors when performing steep turns?

Answer 3

• Not clearing the area
• Inadequate pitch control on entry or rollout
• Gaining altitude or losing altitude
• Failure to maintain constant bank angle
• Poor flight control coordination
• Ineffective use of trim

Question 4

Students should be taguth that throught a level steep turn to the right, the rudder is normally used to

Answer 4

prevent yawing

Question 5

What is Chandelle?

Answer 5

The chandelle is an aircraft control maneuver where the pilot combines a 180° turn with a climb.

Question 6

Pilots who initiate a chandelle with a bank that is too steep will most likely

Answer 6

fall to gain maximum performance

Question 7

Common Errors when perfromaing chandelles?

Answer 7

• Not clearing the area
• Initial bank is too shallow resulting in a stall
• Initial bank is too steep resulting in failure to gain maximum
• Allowing the bank angle to increase after initial establishment
• Not starting the recovery at the 90° point in the turn
• Allowing the pitch attitude to increase as the bank is rolled out during the second 90° of tum
• Leveling the wings prior to the I 80° point being reached
• Pitch attitude is low on recovery resulting in airspeed well above stall speed
• Application of flight control pressures is not smooth
• Poor flight control coordination
• Stalling at any point during the maneuver
• Execution of a steep tum instead of a climbing maneuver
• Not scanning for other traffic during the maneuver
• Performing by reference to the flight instrument rather than visual references

Question 8

What may occur if the initial bank is too shallow when performing a chandelle?

Answer 8

Stalling the aircraft before reaching the 180 point

Question 9

When performing a chandelle, where should maximum pitch occur?

Answer 9

90°point.

Question 10

Which best describes pitch and bank during the first 90” of a chandelle?

Answer 10

Constant bank and changing pitch

Question 11

Which best describes pitch and bank during the second 90• of a chandelle?

Answer 11

Constant pitch and changing bank.

Question 12

When performing a lazy eight, where should the maximum pitchup attitude occur?

Answer 12

45° poinl.

Question 13

When performing a lazy eight, when should the aircraft be at minimum airspeed?

Answer 13

90”point.

Question 14

When perform’ng a lazy eight, where should the maximum pitchdown attitude occur?

Answer 14

135 point

Question 15

When performing a lazy eight, when should the maximum altitude occur?

Answer 15

90 poin

Question 16

What should occur at the 90 point of lazy eight?

Answer 16

Steepest bank, minimum airspeed, maximum alitude, and level pitch, attitude.

Question 17

What would cause the 45 point to be reached before the maximum pitchup anitude during a lazy eight?

Answer 17

Begning with too rapid a rate of roll

Question 18

Which is the most probable result if a pilot intitiate the climbing turn portions of a lazy eight with banks that are too steep?

Answer 18

Compleiting each 180 change of direction with less altitude change than is normal for the nameuver

Question 19

During practice of lazy eights, the most probable cause of the uncordianted situation at the compleition of 90 of turn (indicated by the turn and slip indicator?

Answer 19

use of too much right rudder pressure

Question 20

If poor aircraft controllability is expereinced during an emergency go-around with full flaps, the cause is most probably due to

Answer 20

The high power, low airspeed situtation with the airplane trimmed for a full flpa configuration

Question 21

A go around from a poor landing approach should generally be preferable to

Answer 21

last minute attempts to prevent a bad landing

Question 22

Dyring a go arounds from a full flaps approach in cinventional airplanes, which procedure should be used if the flight manually does not specify differently?

Answer 22

Start retracting the flaps firs, then retract the gears

Question 23

One reason a student tends to round out high during landing Is

Answer 23

Focusing on references that are too close or looking directly down

Question 24

What are the common errors in the performance of normal approaches and landings are

Answer 24

• Inadequate wind drift correction on the base leg.
• Overshooting or undershooting the tum onto final approach resulting in too steep or too shallow a

turn onto final approach.

• Flat or skidding turns from base leg to final approach as a result of overshooting/inadequate wind

drift correction.

• Poor coordination during turn from base to final approach.
• Failure to complete the landing checklist in a timely manner.
• Unstable approach.
• Failure to adequately compensate for flap extension.
• Poor trim technique on final approach.
• Attempting to maintain altitude or reach the runway using elevator alone.
• Focusing too close to the airplane resulting in a too high round out.
• Focusing too far from the airplane resulting in a too low round out.
• Touching down prior to attaining proper landing attitude.
• Failure to hold sufficient back-elevator pressure after touchdown.
• Excessive braking after touchdown.
• Loss of aircraft control durinl! touchdown ~nrl rnll 011t

Question 25

What could be a result of a student focusing too far ahead during a landing approach?

Answer 25

Difficulty in judging the closeness of the ground resulting in a nose-first touchdown.

Question 26

Under normal conditions, a proper crosswind landing on a runway requires that, at the moment of touchdown, the

Answer 26

direction of motion of the aircraft and its longitudinal axis be parallel to the runway.

Question 27

During a power approach to a short-field landing, the correct airspeed may be verified by

Answer 27

Little or no floating during the landing flare

Question 28

What is the correct procedure to follow if an aircraft is in the region of reverse command during a landing approach?

Answer 28

Decrease angle of attack and increase power

Question 29

Which can result when operating in the region of reverse command?

Answer 29

increased nose-up pitch causes increased rate of descent.

Question 30

What procedure should be used to correct for slight ballooning during landing?

Answer 30

Hold a constant landing attitude.
