RIGGING QUESTIONS
AND CORRECT ANSWERS
GRADED A+ 2025-2026
1-8212. The auxiliary (tail) rotor of a helicopter permits the pilot to compensate for
and/or accomplish which of the following? - ANS-C- Torque and directional control
2-8213. The vertical flight of a helicopter is controlled by - ANS-A- collective pitch
changes.
3-8214. A reduction in anti-torque thrust will cause the - ANS-B- tail to pivot in the
direction of torque rotation around the main rotor axis.
4-8215. In rotorcraft external-loading, the ideal location of the cargo release is where
the line of action passes - ANS-C- through the center of gravity at all times.
5-8216. The acute angle formed by the chord line of a wing and the relative wind is
known as the - ANS-C- angle of attack.
6-8217. A helicopter in forward flight, cruise configuration, changes direction by - ANS-
C- tilting the main rotor disk in the desired direction.
7-8218. The purpose in checking main rotor blade tracking is to determine the - ANS-A-
relative position of the blades during rotation.
8-8219. In a hovering helicopter equipped with a tail rotor, directional control is
maintained by - ANS-C- varying the pitch of the tail rotor blades.
, 9-8220. If a single-rotor helicopter is in forward horizontal flight, the angle of attack of
the advancing blade is - ANS-C- less than the retreating blade.
10-8221 Main rotor blades that do not cone by the same amount during rotation are
said to be out of - ANS-C- track.
11-8222. One purpose of the freewheeling unit required between the engine and the
helicopter transmission is to - ANS-A- automatically disengage the rotor from the
engine in case of an engine failure.
12-8223. Which statement is correct concerning torque effect on helicopters? - ANS-C-
Torque direction is the opposite of rotor blade rotation
13-8224. What is the purpose of the free-wheeling unit in a helicopter drive system? -
ANS-A- It disconnects the rotor whenever the engine stops or slows below the
equivalent of rotor RPM.
14-8225. Movement about the longitudinal axis (roll) in a helicopter is effected by
movement of the - ANS-B- cyclic pitch control.
15-8226. Movement about the lateral axis (pitch) in a helicopter is effected by
movement of the - ANS-B- cyclic pitch control.
16-8227. Wing dihedral, a rigging consideration on most airplanes of conventional
design, contributes most to stability of the airplane about its - ANS-A- longitudinal
axis.
17-8228. Other than the manufacturer maintenance manual what other document
could be used to determine the primary flight control surface deflection for an
imported aircraft that is reassembled after shipment? - ANS-A- Aircraft type certificate
data sheet.
