What force makes an airplane turn?
The horizontal component of lift.
In aerodynamics, what is load?
In aerodynamics, load is the force (imposed stress) that must be supported by an airplane structure in flight.
What is the term used for loads imposed on wings and flight?
Load Factor.
What does One G refer to?
In straight and level flight, the wings of an airplane support a load equal to the sum of the weight of the airplane plus its contents.
In the term One G what is the G referring to?
Pull of gravity.
Can an increase load factor cause an airplane to stall at a higher speed?
Yes.
1-14 The amount of excess load that can be imposed on the wing of an airplane depends upon the
A - position of the CG.
B - speed of the airplane.
C - abruptness at which the load is applied
B - speed of the airplane.
1-15 During an approach to a stall , an increased load factor will cause the airplane to
A - stall at a higher airspeed
B - have a tendency to spin
C - be more difficult to control
A - stall at a higher airspeed.
Which angle in your rectangle will be the steepest when turning around a point?
Turning from the downwind.
!!!1-18 Select the four flight fundamentals involved in maneuvering an aircraft.
A - Aircraft power , pitch bank , and trim.
B - Starting , taxiing , takeoff , and landing.
C - Straight and level flight turns , climbs , and descents.
Straight and level flight, turns, climbs, and descents.
1-18 Refer to Figure 66. ) While practicing S - turns , a consistently smaller half - circle is made on one side of the road than on the other , and this turn is not completed before crossing the road or reference line . This would most likely occur in turn
A - 1-2-3 because the bank is decreased too rapidly during the latter part of the turn .
B - 4-5-6 because the bank is increased too rapidly during the early part of the turn .
C - 4-5-6 because the bank is increased too slowly during the latter part of the turn
B - 4-5-6 because the bank is increased too rapidly during the early part of the turn.
1-18 When executing an emergency approach to land in a single engine airplane, it is important to maintain a constant glide speed because variations in glide speed
A - increase the chances of shock cooling the engine.
B - assure the proper descent angle is maintained until entering the flare.
C - nullify all attempts accuracy in judgment of gliding distance and landing spot.
C - Nullify all attempts at accuracy in judgment of gliding distance and landing spot.
Define critical angle of attack.
The angle at which a stall occurs.
A stalled airplane will remain stalled as long as the?
Outside wing continues to provide more lift than the inside wing, and the aircraft remains stalled.
In what flight condition must an aircraft be placed in order to spin?
Stalled.
During a spin to the left, which wing(s) is/are stalled?
Both wings are stalled.
What is ground effect ?
A The result of the interference of the surface of the Earth with the airflow patterns about an airplane.
B - The result of an alteration in airflow patterns increasing induced drag about the wings of an airplane.
C - The result of the disruption of the airflow patterns about the wings of an airplane to the point where the wings will no longer support the airplane in flight.
A - The result of the interference of the surface of the Earth with the airflow patterns about an airplane.
- What must a pilot be aware of as a result of ground effect ?
A - Wingtip vortices increase creating wake turbulence problems for arriving and departing aircraft.
B - Induced drag decreases ; therefore , any excess speed at the point of flare may cause considerable floating.
C - A full stall landing will require less up elevator deflection than would a full stall when done free of ground effect.
B - Induced drag decreases; therefore, any excess speed at the point of flare may cause considerable floating.
Which is a result of the phenomenon of ground effect ?
A - The induced angle of attack of each rotor blade is increased .
B - The lift vector becomes more horizontal .
C - The angle of attack generating lift is increased
C - The angle of attack generating lift is increased.
An aircraft leaving ground effect during takeoff will
A- experience a reduction in ground friction and require a slight power reduction
B - experience an increase in induced drag and a decrease in performance
C - require a lower angle of attack to maintain the same lift coefficient .
B - experience an increase in induced drag and a decrease in performance.
What are the 2 types of wake turbulence that all aircraft leave behind?
Prop blast or jet blast, and wingtip vortices.
Maximum wingtip vortices vortex strength occurs when the generating aircraft is?
Heavy, clean, and slow.
What is wingtip vortices sink rate?
400 to 500 ft per minute.
The wind condition that requires maximum caution when avoiding wake turbulence on landing is a
A - light , quartering headwind .
B - light , quartering tailwind .
C - strong headwind .
B - light, quartering tailwind.
What wind condition prolongs the hazards of wake turbulence on a landing runway for the longest period of time ?
A - Light quartering headwind .
B - Direct tailwind .
C - Light quartering tailwind .
C - Light quartering tailwind.
