Question 1

Airport light

Answer 1

Colorful lights cover taxiways and runways to help pilots navigate the airport. Red, blue, green, amber, and white lights glow, flash, and race across the ground. It’s time to find out what the colored airport lights mean and how pilots use them!

Question 6

International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)

Answer 6

is a UN specialized agency, established by States in 1944 to manage the administration and governance of the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention).

ICAO works with the Convention’s 193 Member States and industry groups to reach consensus on international civil aviation Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) and policies in support of a safe, efficient, secure, economically sustainable and environmentally responsible civil aviation sector. These SARPs and policies are used by ICAO Member States to ensure that their local civil aviation operations and regulations conform to global norms, which in turn permits more than 100,000 daily flights in aviation’s global network to operate safely and reliably in every region of the world

Question 7

Nancy Ward

Answer 7

Nancy Ward, original name Nanye’hi, Cherokee title (from 1775) Agi-ga-u-e (“Beloved Woman”), (born c. 1738, probably at Chota village [now in Monroe county, Tenn., U.S.]—died 1822, near present-day Benton, Tenn.), Native American leader who was an important intermediary in relations between early American settlers and her own Cherokee people.

Question 8

Circa 1500 Jean-Baptiste Dante

Answer 8

Made flights with a glider near Lake Trasimene, Perugia

Question 9

Lines (both horizontal and vertical), loops, rolls, spins, and hammerheads

Answer 9

A loop is when the pilot pulls the plane up into the vertical, continues around until he is heading back in the same direction, like making a 360 degree turn, except it is in the vertical plane instead of the horizontal. The pilot will be inverted (upside down) at the top of the loop. A loop can also be performed by rolling inverted and making the same maneuver but diving towards the ground. It can be visualized as making a loop of ribbon, hence the name it is given (there is an animation depicting a loop on the bottom of this page). A roll is simply rotating the plane about its roll axis, using the ailerons. It can be done in increments of 360 degrees (i.e. four short 90 degree rolls will bring the aircraft back to its upright position). A spin is more complex, involving intentionally stalling a single wing, causing the plane to descend spiraling around its yaw axis in a corkscrew motion. A Hammerhead (also known as a stall turn) is performed by pulling the aircraft up until it is pointing straight up (much like the beginning of a loop), but the pilot continues to fly straight up until their airspeed has dropped to a certain critical point.
