Spoilers

Question 10

The four forces acting on an airplane in flight are

Answer 10

Lift, weight, thrust, and drag

When are the four that act on an airplane in equilibrium?

Answer 11

During unaccelerated level flight

Question 12

What is the relationship of lift, drag, thrust, and weight when the airplane is in straight-and-level flight?

Answer 12

Lift equals weight and thrust equals drag

Question 13

Which statement relates to Bernoulli’s principle?

Answer 13

Air traveling faster over the curved upper surface of an airfoil causes lower pressure on the top surface

(Refer to figure 1 below.) The acute angle A is the angle of

Answer 14

attack

Question 15

The term “angle of attack” is defined as the angle between the

Answer 15

Question 16

The angle between the chord line of an airfoil and the relative wind is known as the angle of?

Answer 16

attack

Question 17

The angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls will

Answer 17

remain the same regardless of gross weight

Question 18

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

Remain the same regardless of altitude

Question 19

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

Answer 19

Stalled

Question 20

During a spin to the left, which wing(s) is/are stalled?

Answer 20

Both wings are stalled

Question 21

What is ground effect?

Answer 21

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

Question 22

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

Answer 22

Less than the length of the wingspan above the surface

Question 23

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

Answer 23

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

Question 24

An aircraft leaving ground effect during takeoff will

Answer 24

experience an increase in induced drag and a decrease in performance

Question 25

Ground effect is most likely to result in which problem?

Answer 25

Becoming airborne before reaching recommended takeoff speed

Question 26

What force makes an airplane turn?

Answer 26

The horizontal component of lift

Question 27

What determines the longitudinal stability of an airplane?

Answer 27

the location of the CG with respect to the center of lift

Question 28

An airplane said to be inherently stable will

Answer 28

require less effort to control

Question 29

Changes in the center of pressure of a wing affect the aircraft’s

Answer 29

aerodynamic balance and controllability

Question 30

An airplane has been loaded in such a manner that the CG is located aft of the aft CG limit. One undesirable flight characteristic a pilot might experience with this airplane would be

Answer 30

difficulty in recovering from a stalled condition

Question 31

What causes an airplane (expect a T-tail) to pitch nosedown when power is reduced and controls are no adjusted?

Answer 31

The downwash on the elevators from the propeller slipstream is reduced and elevator effectiveness is reduced

Question 32

What is the effect of advancing the throttle in flight?

Answer 32

Both aircraft groundspeed and angle of attack will increase

Question 33

Loading an airplane to the most aft CG will cause the airplane to be

Answer 33

less stable at all speeds

Question 34

An airplane loaded with the Center of Gravity (CG) rear of the aft CG limit could

Answer 34

increase the likelihood of inadvertent overstress.

Question 36

The left turning tendency of an airplane caused by P-factor is the result of the

Answer 37

When at high angles of attack

Question 38
