16
Q

Four forces acting on an aircraft / airfoil in flight?

A

Lift, Thrust, Weight, Drag

17
Q

Angle of Attack is measured between:

A

The chord line of an airfoil and the resultant relative wind (relative wind modified by induced flow)

18
Q

Vertical Visibility is shown on METAR/TAF when the sky is:

A

Obscured

19
Q

If pressure and temperature remain the same, how would an increase in humidity affect takeoff performance?

A

Longer takeoff distance, the air is more dense

A

Cumuliform Clouds

21
Q

Avoid overflying national security areas below:

A

Nope

26
Q

Can an airfield be used as a Alternate if the Class B, C, D, or E does not exist or is not in effect?

A

Nope

27
Q

Are Army aviators required to comply with non-standard IFR takeoff minimums and published instrument departure procedures?

A

28
Q

Is VFR permitted in Class A airspace?

A

No, IFR only

29
Q

What is required to operate in Class B airspace?

Q
Asymmetric Loading (P-Factor)
When an aircraft is flying with a high AOA, the “bite” of the\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ moving blade is greater than the “bite” of the\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_moving blade. This moves the center of thrust to the right of the prop disc area, causing a yawing moment toward the left around the vertical axis
A
Asymmetric Loading (P-Factor)
When an aircraft is flying with a high AOA, the “bite” of the downward moving blade is greater than the “bite” of the upward moving blade. This moves the center of thrust to the right of the prop disc area, causing a yawing moment toward the left around the vertical axis
31
Q

The letters VHF/DF indicate that the airport has what?

A

equipment with which to determine direction from the station

32
Q

Information concerning parachute jumping sites may be found in the?

A

Airport/Facility Directory (green books)

33
Q

To act as pilot in command of an airplane that is equipped with retractable landing gear, flaps, and controllable-pitch propeller, a person is required to

A

Receive and log ground and flight training in such an airplane, and obtain a logbook endorsement certifying proficiency.

34
Q

A pilot in command of a civil aircraft may not allow any object to be dropped from that aircraft in flight - unless:

A

unless reasonable precautions are taken to avoid injury to persons or damage to property.

35
Q

After ATC clearance has been obtained, a pilot may not deviate from that clearance, unless the pilot:

A

Receives an amended clearance or has an emergency
