The purpose of the rudder on an airplane is to

Answer 2

Control Yaw

As altitude increases, stall speed does what

Answer 4

Remain the same regardless of altitude

Question 5

What causes an airplane to pitch nose down when power is reduced and controls are not adjusted

Answer 5

Downwash on elevators from propellor slipstream is reduced and elevator effectiveness is reduced

Question 6

What effect does increased load factor have on an airplane during an approach to a stall

Answer 6

Airplane will stall at a higher airspeed.

Question 7

What determines longitudinal stability of an airplane

Answer 7

Location of the CG with respect to the center of lift

Question 8

Left turning tendency of an airplane caused by the P factor is the result of

Answer 8

Prop descending on the right, producing more thrust than the ascending blade on the left

Question 9

What is purpose of wing flaps

Answer 9

Enable the pilot to be able to make steeper approaches without increasing airspeed

Question 10

In what flight conditions is torque affect the greatest in a single engine airplane

Answer 10

Low airspeed, high power, High angle of attack

Question 11

What makes an airplane turn

Answer 11

Horizontal component of lift

Question 12

As you maneuver an airplane you should realize that it can be stalled

Answer 12

At any airspeed and in any attitude

Question 13

To counteract the effect of torque in a conventional single engine propeller driven airplane, a pilot would normally add

Answer 13

Right rudder pressure during the takeoff roll and while climbing with full power

Question 14

To generate the same amount of lift as altitude is increased, an airplane must be flown at

Answer 14

A higher true airspeed for any given angle of attack

Question 15

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

Answer 15

Both wings are stalled

Question 16

What action can a pilot take to aid in cooking an engine that is overheated during a climb?

Answer 16

Reducing rage of climb and increasing airspeed

Question 17

A precaution for the operation of an engine equipped with a constant speed propeller is to

Answer 17

Avoid high manifold pressure settings with low RPM

Question 18

Filling the fuel tanks after the last flight of the day is considered a good operating procedure because this will

Answer 18

Prevent moisture condensation by eliminating air space in the tanks

Question 19

Which condition is most favorable to the development of carburetor icing?

Answer 19

Temperature between 20 and 70°F and high humidity

Question 20

The uncontrolled firing of the fuel/air charge in advance of normal spark ignition is known as

Answer 20

Preignition

Question 21

If the engine oil temperature and cylinder head temperature gauges have exceeded their normal operating range, the pilot may have been

Answer 21

Operating with too much power and with a mixture set too lean

Question 22

If an engine continues to run after the ignition switch is turned OFF, the probable cause may be

Answer 22

A broken magneto ground wire

Question 23

Detonation occurs in a reciprocating aircraft engine when

Answer 23

The unburned charge in the cylinders explodes instead of burning evenly

Question 24

An abnormally high engine oil temperature indication maybe caused by

Answer 24

The oil level being too low

Question 25

What time fuel can be substituted for an aircraft if the recommended octane is not available

Answer 25

The next higher octane aviation gas

Question 26

In an aircraft acquainted with a constant speed propeller and I normally aspirated engine, which procedure would be used to avoid placing undue stress on the engine components

Answer 26

Whenpower has been increased increase the RPM before increasing the manifold pressure.

Question 27

The main purpose of the mixture control is to

Answer 27

Adjust the fuel flow to obtain the proper air/fuel ratio

Question 28

Which statement is true regarding the effect of the application of carburetor heat

Answer 28

It reduces the density of air entering the carburetor, thus enriching the fuel/air mixture.

Question 29

What will occur if no leaning is made with the mixture control as the flight altitude increases?

Answer 29

The density of air entering the carburetor decreases and the amount of fuel remains constant

Question 30

The term coordinator provides an indication of

Answer 30

The movement of an airplane about the yaw and Roll axes

Question 31

To receive accurate indications during flight from a heading indicator the instrument must be

Answer 31

Periodically realigned with the magnetic compass as the Gyro processes

Question 32

In the northern hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn towards the north if

Answer 32

An aircraft is accelerated while on an east or west heading

Question 33

Deviation in a magnetic compass is caused by

Answer 33

Magnetic Fields within the airplane distorting the lines of magnetic force
