Question 9

A long narrow runway can cause an approach to appear ______.

Answer 9

Sharp braking

Question 13

Following touchdown in a touch-and-go, directional control is maintained primarily with the ______.

Answer 13

Rudder

Question 14

In a touch-and-go, anticipate adding ______ after power is advanced to counter the torque increase from the engine.

Answer 14

Right rudder

Question 15

Crosswind controls should be established once you are ______.

Answer 15

On final approach

Question 16

Because cross controls increase drag, you will have to make power adjustments to maintain your ______.

Answer 16

Approach airspeed

Question 17

Shifts in crosswind direction or speed (gusts) during the approach can cause ______.

Answer 17

A sudden loss of lift

Question 18

On a go-around/waveoff from the roundout raise the gear and flaps ______ .

Answer 18

When you are sure you will not touch down

Question 19

When should you contact ground control for taxi instructions?

Answer 19

Answer 20

IDLE

Question 21

What action should be taken before making sharp turns with differential braking?

Answer 21

Disconnect nose wheel steering

Question 22

A wide, short runway will cause a visual illusion which may cause a pilot to land ______.

Answer 22

Short of the runway

Question 23

Heavier aircraft weight will produce a higher lift requirement and contribute to a ______.

Answer 23

Quicker sink rate

Question 24

When power is advanced following touchdown in a touch-and-go landing, right rudder will be required to compensate for increased ______.

Answer 24

Torque

Question 30

In a crosswind landing, cross controls will require power adjustments to maintain airspeed. This is primarily due to increased ______.

Answer 30

Drag
