Takeoff with a tailwind requires that the takeoff groundspeed be _______ by the
amount of the tailwind
a) increased
b) decreased
c) not affected - CORRECT ANSWER-a) increased
An airplane is in trimmed flight and its velocity is constant.
a) it has no unbalanced forces acting on it
b) it has no unbalanced moments acting on it
c) it is in a state of equilibrium
d) all the above are true - CORRECT ANSWER-d) all the above are true
An airplane is in a constant velocity engine out glide. Its altitude is decreasing. It is
not in a state of equilibrium
a) true
b) false - CORRECT ANSWER-b) false
, At (L/D) max an airplane will
a) be at mimimum glide angle
b) be achieving maximum glide distance
c) have a glide ratio equal to the numerical value of (L/D) max
d) all of the above - CORRECT ANSWER-d) all of the above
A steep, low-power approach is more dangerous for heavy planes than light
airplanes because
a) recovery from a high rate of descent involves a great increase in power (or
thrust)
b) the aircraft will float down the runway and possibly overshoot the runway
c) flaring the aircraft decreases the rate of descent and increases induced drag
d) both (a) and (c) - CORRECT ANSWER-d) both (a) and (c)
A low angle, high power (or thrust) approach
a) may be used for propeller aircraft if a short field landing is required
b) is dangerous for propeller aircraft if an engine fails
c) should be avoided at any cost for jet airplanes as high induced drag results
d) all of the above - CORRECT ANSWER-d) all of the above
