Level 3 aviation test (Canadian air
cadets)
The tendency of an aircraft in flight to remail in a straight, level, upright flight a d to return to
this attitude, if displaced, without corrective action by the pilot - Answer Aircraft stability is
defined as?
Center of gravity - Answer Factor influencing longitudinal stability
Stability around the vertical axis - Answer Direction stability is defined as?
The troposphere - Answer Lowest layer of the atmostphere
Nitrogen - Answer 78% of our air
The stratosphere - Answer Includes the ozone layer
Isobars - Answer Areas of equal atmosphere pressure joined together
Ratio of actual amount of water present in the air compared to the amount that has the same
volume of air could hold - Answer Relative humility
Static stability - Answer Initial tendency of a aircraft to return to its original attitude, if
displaced
Dynamic stability - Answer Overall tendency of a aircraft to return to its original attitude
Unstable air and flight conditions associated with unstable air - Answer I'd a mass of rising air
is still warmer then new air around it, then the air mass will continue to rise. Unstable air may
have the following effects on flights.
I'd a mass of rising air is still warmer then new air around it, then the air mass will continue to
rise. Unstable air may have the following effects on flights. - Answer Good visibility. Cumulus
type cloud. Showery precipitation. Gusty winds and, Moderate severe turbulence
Mobility as property of the atmosphere - Answer This property is the ability of the air to move
from one place to another. This is especially important as it explains why an air mass that does
