Force necessary to overcome gravitational force to keep the airplane flying is termed - Answer
Lift
Ailerons are used primarily to - Answer Roll the airplane
Ailerons are located - Answer On the outer edge of the wings
Pitch makes the airplane - Answer Go up and down
Bank makes the airplane - Answer Roll or turn
The four aerodynamic forces acting on an airplane are - Answer Drag, lift, thrust and weight
An airplane wing is designed to produce lift resulting from relatively - Answer Positive (High)
air pressure below the wings surface and negative (Low) air pressure above the wings surface
Flight Instruments - Answer Airspeed Indicator Altimeter Attitude Indicator Vertical Velocity
Indicator
Engine Instruments - Answer Tachometer Ammeter (battery)
Altimeter - Answer Altitude in MSL
Attitude - Answer False Horizon
Vertical Velocity - Answer How many feet per minute climbing/diving
Tachometer - Answer Engine RPMS
Ammeter - Answer Batter Power
Forces acting on an aircraft in a steady flight condition (no change in speed or flight path) -
Answer Lift equals Weight Thrust equals Drag
,A flashing green air traffic control signal directed to an aircraft on the surface is a signal that the
pilot - Answer Is cleared to taxi
Steady red light signal from the tower to aircraft approaching to land - Answer Continue
circling
Flashing red light signal from the tower to aircraft approaching to land - Answer Airport is
unsafe for landing
Propeller blades are curved on one side and flat on the other side to - Answer Produce thrust
When in the down (extended) position wingflaps provide - Answer Greater lift and more drag
What makes an airplane turn - Answer Horizontal componenet of lift
What is one advantage of an airplane said to be inherently stable - Answer Airplane will
require less effort to control
If the elevator trim tabs on the airplane are lowered, the plane will tend to - Answer Nose up
The pilot always advances the throttle during a - Answer Climb
The pilot of an airplane can best detect the approach of a stall by the - Answer Ineffectiveness
of the ailerons and elevator
It is ordinarily desirable to provide an unusually long flight strip at municipal airports for the
take-off of - Answer Heavily loaded ships in still air
A closed runway is marked on an airfield diagram with - Answer X X X
Over run is marked on an airfield diagram with - Answer >>>
The rearward retarding force of airplane drag is opposed by - Answer Thrust
Cowling is located - Answer Around the engine
, Airport taxiways are identified at night by omni directional edge lights in what color - Answer
Blue
If the aircraft ammeter is indicating a minus value, this means the - Answer Generator or
alternator output is inadequate
The angle formed by the chord of an airfoil and the direction of the relative wind is called the -
Answer Angle of attack
Aircraft Structure - Answer Fuselage Wings (w/ ailerons & flaps) Empennage (tail) Landing
Gear Power Plant
Empannage Parts - Answer Fixed: Vertical stabilizer and horizontal stabilizer Moveable:
Rudder, elevator, trim tabs
Power Plant Parts - Answer Engine Propeller
What does the cowling do - Answer Helps cool the engine
Propeller creates - Answer Thrust
What does the rudder do - Answer Moves the airplane nose left and right
What does the elevator do - Answer Moves airplane nose up and down
Atmospheric pressure - Answer Weather changes help lift airplane, actuates some flight
instruments
Air Density - Answer Effects airplanes capability
Less dense air - Answer reduces power, thrust and lift
Density - Answer Increases with altitude
Increase temps - Answer Decreases density
Newtons Laws of Motion 1 - Answer Body at rest remains at rest
