AFOQT Aviation Exam Practice Questions and Revised
Answers – A+ Graded 2026/2027
1. Four Areodynamic forces acting on an airplane are?: Drag, Lift, Thrust, Weight
2. An airplane wing is designed to produce lift resulting from relatively:: Positive
below the wing/Negative above the wing
3. Forces acting on a plane in a steady flight condition?: Lift equals weight and thrust equals drag
4. A flashing green air traffic control signal directed to an aircraft on the surface is a signal that the
pilot is:: Cleared to taxi
5. Steady red light from the tower means?: Ḳeep circling
6. Flashing red light means?: Unsafe to land
7. The propeller blades are curved on one side and flat on the other side to:: Produce thrust
8. When in the Down position position wingflaps provide?: Increase drag and lift
9. What maḳes an airplane turn?: Horizontal component of lift
10. What is one advantage of an airplane said to be inherently stable?: The Airplane
will require less ettort to control.

taḳeoff of?: Heavily loaded ships in the air
15. The small hinged section on the elevator of the most airplanes is ḳnown as the:: Trim Tab
16. At night, airport taxiways are identified by omnidirectional edge lights that are?: Blue
17. If the ammeter in an aircraft shows a negative value this means:: Output from
the alternator or generator output is inadequate
