Correct Incorrect

Select the four flight fundamentals involved in maneuvering an

aircraft.

Aircraft power, pitch, bank, and trim.

Starting, taxiing, takeoff, and landing.

Straight-and-level flight, turns, climbs, and

descents.

Correct

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

Both wings are stalled.

Neither wing is stalled.

:
 Neither wing is stalled.

Only the left wing is stalled.

Correct

As altitude increases, the indicated airspeed at which a given

airplane stalls in a particular configuration will

decrease as the true airspeed decreases.

decrease as the true airspeed increases.

remain the same regardless of altitude.

Correct

What causes an airplane (except a T-tail) to pitch nosedown

when power is reduced and controls are not adjusted?

The CG shifts forward when thrust and drag are

reduced.

The downwash on the elevators from the

propeller slipstream is reduced and elevator
:
 effectiveness is reduced.

When thrust is reduced to less than weight, lift is

also reduced and the wings can no longer support the
weight.

Correct

What is the relationship of lift, drag, thrust, and weight when

the airplane is in straight-and level flight?

Lift equals weight and thrust equals drag.

Lift, drag, and weight equal thrust.

Lift and weight equal thrust and drag.

Correct

The term "angle of attack" is defined as the angle between the

chord line of the wing and the relative wind.

airplane's longitudinal axis and that of the air

striking the airfoil.
:
 striking the airfoil.

airplane's center line and the relative wind.

Correct

The wind condition that requires maximum caution when

avoiding wake turbulence on landing is a

light, quartering headwind.

light, quartering tailwind.

strong headwind.

Correct

Ground effect is most likely to result in which problem?

Settling to the surface abruptly during landing.

Becoming airborne before reaching

recommended takeoff speed.

Inability to get airborne even though airspeed is

:
 Inability to get airborne even though airspeed is
sufficient for normal takeoff needs.

Incorrect
Due to the reduced drag in ground effect, the airplane may
seem capable of takeoff well
below the recommended speed. It is important that no
attempt be made to force the
airplane to become airborne with a deficiency of speed. The
recommended takeoff speed
is necessary to provide adequate initial climb performance.
Answer (A) is incorrect because the airplane gains lift from
a reduction in induced drag
while entering ground effect; therefore, it does not cause
the airplane to settle abruptly.
Answer (C) is incorrect because ground effect helps the
airplane become airborne before
the airspeed is sufficient for a normal takeoff.

When departing behind a heavy aircraft, the pilot should avoid

wake turbulence by maneuvering the aircraft

below and downwind from the heavy aircraft.

above and upwind from the heavy aircraft.

below and upwind from the heavy aircraft.

:
 Correct

The amount of excess load that can be imposed on the wing of

an airplane depends upon the

position of the CG.

speed of the airplane.

abruptness at which the load is applied.

Correct

If an emergency situation requires a downwind landing, pilots

should expect a faster

airspeed at touchdown, a longer ground roll, and

better control throughout the landing roll.

groundspeed at touchdown, a longer ground roll,

and the likelihood of overshooting the desired
touchdown point.

groundspeed at touchdown, a shorter ground

roll, and the likelihood of undershooting the desired
:
 touchdown point.

Correct

How does the wake turbulence vortex circulate around each

wingtip?

Inward, upward, and around each tip.

Inward, upward, and counterclockwise.

Outward, upward, and around each tip.

Correct

An airplane said to be inherently stable will

be difficult to stall.

require less effort to control.

not spin.
:
 Correct

The angle between the chord line of an airfoil and the relative
wind is known as the angle of

lift.

attack.

incidence.

Correct

During an approach to a stall, an increased load factor will

cause the airplane to

stall at a higher airspeed

have a tendency to spin.

be more difficult to control

Correct
:
 In what flight condition must an aircraft be placed in order to
spin?

Partially stalled with one wing low.

In a steep diving spiral.

Stalled.

Incorrect
A spin results when a sufficient degree of rolling or yawing
control input is imposed on an
airplane in the stalled condition. If the wing is not stalled, a
spin cannot occur.
Answer (A) is incorrect because the aircraft must be at a full
stall in order to spin. Answer
(B) is incorrect because an airplane is not necessarily
stalled when in a steep diving
spiral.

(Refer to Figure 2.) If an airplane weighs 2,300 pounds, what

approximate weight would the airplane structure be required to
support during a 60° banked turn while maintaining altitude?
:
 2,300 pounds.

3,400 pounds.

4,600 pounds.

Correct

(Refer to Figure 2.) If an airplane weighs 4,500 pounds, what

approximate weight would the airplane structure be required to
support during a 45° banked turn while maintaining altitude?
:
 4,500 pounds.

6,750 pounds.

7,200 pounds.

Correct

What is the purpose of the rudder on an airplane?

To control yaw.

To control overbanking tendency.

To control roll.

Correct

Floating caused by the phenomenon of ground effect will be

most realized during an approach to land when at

less than the length of the wingspan above the

surface.
:
 twice the length of the wingspan above the
surface.

a higher-than-normal angle of attack.

Correct

When landing behind a large aircraft, the pilot should avoid

wake turbulence by staying

above the large aircraft's final approach path and

landing beyond the large aircraft's touchdown point.

below the large aircraft's final approach path and

landing before the large aircraft's touchdown point.

above the large aircraft's final approach path and

landing before the large aircraft's touchdown point.

Correct

Wingtip vortices created by large aircraft tend to

sink below the aircraft generating turbulence.

:
 rise into the traffic pattern.

rise into the takeoff or landing path of a crossing

runway.

Correct

What is one purpose of wing flaps?

To enable the pilot to make steeper approaches

to a landing without increasing the airspeed.

To relieve the pilot of maintaining continuous

pressure on the controls.

To decrease wing area to vary the lift.

Correct

An airplane has been loaded in such a manner that the CG is

located aft of the aft CG limit. One undesirable flight
characteristic a pilot might experience with this airplane would
be
:
 a longer takeoff run.

difficulty in recovering from a stalled condition.

stalling at higher-than-normal airspeed.

Correct

The greatest vortex strength occurs when the generating

aircraft is

light, dirty, and fast.

heavy, dirty, and fast.

heavy, clean, and slow.

Correct

(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
:
 1-2-3 because the bank is decreased too rapidly
during the latter part of the turn.

4-5-6 because the bank is increased too rapidly

during the early part of the turn.

4-5-6 because the bank is increased too slowly

during the latter part of the turn.

Incorrect
In the half of an S-turn labeled 4-5-6, the bank should
begin shallow and increase in
steepness as the airplane turns crosswind and become
steepest at point 6 where the turn
is downwind. If the turn at point 4 is started with too steep
a bank angle, the bank will
increase too rapidly, and the upwind half of the S will be
smaller than the downwind half.
The turn will not be completed by the time the airplane is
over the reference line.
:
 Loading an airplane to the most aft CG will cause the airplane
to be

less stable at all speeds.

less stable at slow speeds, but more stable at

high speeds.

less stable at high speeds, but more stable at low

speeds.

Correct

When are the four forces that act on an airplane in equilibrium?

During unaccelerated flight.

When the aircraft is accelerating.

When the aircraft is at rest on the ground.

Correct

(Refer to figure 62.) In flying the rectangular course, when

:
 would the aircraft be turned less than 90°?

Corners 1 and 4.

Corners 1 and 2.

Corners 2 and 4.

(Refer to Figure 1.) The acute angle A is the angle of
