[863] Gleim #: 11.10.62
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.
[864] Gleim #: 11.11.63
(Refer to Figure 63.) In flying the rectangular course, when would the aircraft be turned less than 90°?
A. Corners 1 and 4.
B. Corners 1 and 2.
C. Corners 2 and 4.
[865] Gleim #: 11.11.64
(Refer to Figure 63.) In flying the rectangular course, when should the aircraft bank vary from a steep bank to a medium bank?
A. Corner 1.
B. Corner 3.
C. Corner 2 and 3.
[866] Gleim #: 11.12.65
(Refer to Figure 67.) 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.

A. direction of motion of the aircraft parallel to the runway.

B. longitudinal axis of the aircraft parallel to the direction of its motion.
C. downwind wing lowered sufficiently to eliminate the tendency for the aircraft to drift.
