complete solution RATED A+ NEW EDITION
Which of the following statements regarding energy is true? - Ans d. Kinetic energy can be
traded for potential energy, and potential energy can be traded for kinetic energy
The objective in maneuvering the airplane is to manage energy so that: - Ans d. All of the above
What is the effect on total drag if airspeed slows below L/D Max? - Ans c. Drag increases
because of increased induced drag.
A jet pilot flying at L/D Max will obtain best: - Ans b. Endurance
When a jet aircraft is flown at the appropriate airspeed for maximum range, which type of drag
predominates? - Ans a. Parasite
While already at high speed, what happens if Mach is allowed to increase? - Ans d. All of the
above
What is the result of a shock-induced separation of airflow occurring symmetrically near the
wing root of a swept wing aircraft? - Ans c. A severe moment of "Mach tuck"
The speed of sound generally decreases with increasing altitude. This occurs because: - Ans a.
The air temperature decreases.
Critical Mach number can be defined as: - Ans c. 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.
,Stability in the vertical axis tends to drive the sideslip angle toward zero. The most dynamic
stability about the vertical axis on modern jet transports is from: - Ans c. An active stability
augmentation system / yaw damper.
Swept wings cause a significant: - Ans b. Reduction in effectiveness of flaps.
Why is convergence of Stall AOA and Mmo hazardous? - Ans d. All of the above
To maintain altitude in a banked turn, the lift produced by the airplane must be: - Ans a.
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 d. All of the above
When operating at constant speed with constant thrust setting at high altitude (typically above
FL250) in slow flight below L/D Max airspeed, any disturbance causing a decrease in airspeed
will result in a further decrease in airspeed unless thrust in increased. High altitude recovery
from slow flight while turning is best accomplished by: - Ans c. 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 descend as an
aerodynamic stall is imminent.
Maximum Altitude is the highest altitude at which an airplane can be operated. Maximum
Altitude for an airplane is: - Ans e. The lowest of the above listed altitudes.
Exceed the critical angle of attack and the surface will stall, and lift will decrease instead of
increasing. This is true: - Ans d. Regardless of airplane speed or attitude.
Which of the following statements is true? - Ans d. Recovery from approach to stall warning is
the same as recovery from a stall.
,The airplane angle of attack is the angle between the wing chord and the oncoming air or
relative wind. - Ans True
Airplane stall speeds are published in the Approved Flight Manual for each airplane model.
These speeds are presented as a function of aircraft weight. Therefor if the pilot maintains
airspeed above the appropriate speed listed for the aircraft weight, the aircraft will not stall. -
Ans False
The stall speed of an airplane: - Ans b. Is affected by weight and bank angle.
Large downward aileron deflections: - Ans a. Cloud induce air separation over that portion of
the wing at very high angles of attack.
Place the following steps from the stall recovery template in the correct order: - Ans d.
Disconnect autopilot and autothrottle / autothurst.
b. Apply nose down pitch control until impeding stall indications are eliminated.
c. Adjust bank angle to wings level.
f. Apply thrust as needed.
a. Retract speed brakes and spoilers.
e. Return to the desire flight path.
The predominant number of airplane upsets are caused by: - Ans a. Environmental factors.
Most of the multi-engine turbojet loss-of-control incidents that are caused by environmental
factors because of: - Ans d. Wake turbulence
