POF Q14 - Spinning Flashcards
Which of the following statements about the spin is correct?
a.An aeroplane is prone to spin when the stall starts at the wing root
b.Every aeroplane should be designed such that it can never enter a spin
c.An aircraft must be stalled to enter a spin
d.In the spin, airspeed continuously increases
c.An aircraft must be stalled to enter a spin
What is an autorotation?
a.when the aircraft rolls and yaws around a vertical axis without control inputs from the pilot
b.when the aircraft pitches, rolls and yaws around a vertical axis without control inputs from the pilot
c.when the aircraft pitches, rolls and yaws around a lateral axis without control inputs from the pilot
d.when the aircraft rolls and yaws around a lateral axis without control inputs from the pilot
b.when the aircraft pitches, rolls and yaws around a vertical axis without control inputs from the pilot
During an autorotation, what statement is correct?
a.the down-going wing is stalled
b.the up-going wing is stalled
c.Both wings are stalled, one more than the other
d.Both wings are stalled by the same amount
c.Both wings are stalled, one more than the other
Most training aircraft are designed so that they will not enter a self-sustaining spin. During your training you will need to learn how to recover from a spin, therefore your instructor will force the aircraft into a spinning condition. What is it called when an instructor does this?
a.Forced Spin
b.Pro-Spin Controls
c.Incipient Spin
d.Pitch-Roll Coupling
b.Pro-Spin Controls
A Stall only occurs at a fast speed.
Select one:
True
False
False
What happens to the aircrafts speed during a developed spin?
a.increases and decreases depending on the pitch at a moment in time
b.increases
c.decreases
d.remains stable
d.remains stable
How does the aircraft CG effect a spin?
a.The further aft the CG, the slower the spin
b.The further aft the CG, the steeper the spin
c.The further aft the CG, the flatter the spin
d.The further aft the CG, the faster the spin
c.The further aft the CG, the flatter the spin
What is the incipient spin?
a.The first phase of a spin, when the aircraft has completed a 360º turn
b.The first phase of a spin, when the aircraft has not yet completed a 360º turn
c.The first phase of a spin, when the aircraft has not yet completed a 180º turn
d.The first phase of a spin, when the aircraft has not yet completed a 270º turn
b.The first phase of a spin, when the aircraft has not yet completed a 360º turn
The recovery actions for a spin are in order:
[Close the power lever]
[apply full opposite rudder]
[Control column centrally forward until the buffet stops]
[Ease out of the dive]
A fully developed spin is said to be…
a. a neutral condition
b. an unstable condition
c. both unstable and stable condition
d. a stable condition
d. a stable condition
