AFOQT Practice test Questions with
Detailed Verified Answers
What altitude is displayed on the aircraft altimeter Ans: Pressure
What occurs as a result of a forward center of gravity Ans:
Difficulty applying upward pitch
What type of environmental condition yields the greatest aircraft
performance Ans: Sea level and cold
Describe how to recover from a stall Ans: Decrease pitch and
increase power
Dead reckoning navigation involves Ans: Utilizing a previously
known position and using time/distance equations to estimate
present position
The rudder controls Ans: Yaw
What effect do the flaps have on landing distance? Ans:
Decrease
When the aircraft yoke or control wheel is moved to the right what
happens to the right aileron? Ans: Moves upward
How does ice accumulated on the aircraft's wings affect the stall
speed Ans: Increase
, Page | 2
What conditions are conducive to fog formation Ans: Low temp
dew point spread and calm winds. Especially in low lying valleys
and coastal areas
In straight and level flight with the autopilot disengaged, after
adding power or thrust the aircraft will Ans: Climb
What type of aircraft has the most severe wake turbulence Ans:
Heavy, slow, gear up, flaps up
What must be done to maintain altitude in a turn? Ans: Increase
pitch
What flight control is used to mitigate adverse yaw in a turn Ans:
Rudder
ATC orders a pilot discretion descent from 12,000' to meet a 3,000'
crossing restriction. Using a 3° descent profile, how far away from
the 3,000' constraint must the descent be initiated Ans: 30 miles
In calm winds, what happens to fuel consumption as the aircraft
climbs Ans: Decreases
What effect does a tailwind have on takeoff distance Ans:
Increases
What is the best airspeed for maximum fuel endurance Ans:
Maximum lift and lowest drag known as L/D max
When is the magnetic compass most accurate Ans: Straight and
level flight
