Ans: All of the above (objective in maneuvering the airplane)
What is the effect on total drag if airspeed slows below L/Dmax? Ans:
Drag increases because of increased induced drag
Guru01 - Stuvia
A jet pilot flying at L/Dmax will obtain best: Ans: Endurance
When a jet aircraft is flown at the appropriate airspeed for maximum
range, which type of drag predominates? Ans: Parasite
When already at high speed, what happens if Mach is allowed to
increase? Ans: All of the above (what happens if Mach is allowed to
increase)
What is the result of a shock-induced separation if airflow occurring
symmetrically near the wing root of a swept wing aircraft? Ans: A severe
moment or "Mach tuck"
The speed of sound generally decreases with increasing altitude. This
occurs because: Ans: The air temperature decreases

Critical Mach number can be defined as: Ans: The speed of an aircraft
in which airflow over any part of the aircraft or structure first reaches, but
doesn't exceed, Mach 1.0

Why is convergence of stall AOA and Mmo hazardous? Ans: All of the
above (convergence of stall AOA hazardous)
Guru01 - Stuvia
To maintain altitude in a banked turn, the lift produced by the airplane
must be: Ans: Greater than the airplane weight, and the amount is a
function of bank angle
Excessive bank angles at high altitudes can be hazardous because Ans:
All of the above
High altitude recovery from slow flight turning is best accomplished by:
Ans: Increasing thrust to maximum available thrust and reducing bank
angle while accelerating to airspeed above L/D max speed. In a thrust
limited situation, exiting slow flight will require an immediate descent as
an aerodynamic stall is imminent
Maximum altitude for an airplane is: Ans: The lowest of the above listed
altitudes
