Assembly and Rigging FAA (AF1) Chapter 1 Exam
With 100% Verified Solutions
Longitudinal (fore and aft) structural members of a semi monocoque fuselage are called
- ANSWER Longerons and stringers
Which statemwnt is true regarding a cantilever wing? - ANSWER No external bracing is
needed
The monocoque fuselage relies largely on the strength of - ANSWER Skin or covering
Which part(s) of a semi monocoque fuselage prevent(s) tension and compression from
bending the fuselage? - ANSWER Longerons and stringers
The acute angle formed by the chord line of a wing and the relative wind is known as the
- ANSWER Angle of attack
As the angle of attack of an airfoil increases, the center of pressure will - ANSWER Move
toward the leading edge
The chord of a wing is measured from - ANSWER Leading edge to trailing edge
As the lifr of an airfoil increases, the drag will - ANSWER Also increase
What physical factors are involved in the aspect ratio of airplane wings? - ANSWER
Span and chord
Where is the buttock line or buttline of an aircraft? - ANSWER A width measurement left
, or right of, and parallel to, the vertical centerline
Where is the fuselage station No. 137 located? - ANSWER 137 inches aft of the zero or
fixed reference line
Wing dihedral, a rigging consideration on most airplanes of conventional design,
contributes most to stability of the airplane about is - ANSWER Longitudinal axis
Other than the manufacturer's maintenance manual what other document could he used
to determine the primary flight control surface deflection for an imported aircraft that is
reassembled after shipment? ANSWER Aircraft type certificate data sheet
If a pilot reports that an airplane flies lefr wing heavy, this condition may be corrected by
- ANSWER Increasing the dihedral angle of the left wing, or decreasing the angle of
incidence of the right wing, or both
If the vertical fin of a single engine, propeller driven airplane is rigged properly, it will
generally be parallel to - ANSWER The vertical axis but not the longitudinal axis
An airplane which has good longitudinal stability should have a minimum tendency to -
ANSWER Pitch
The anfle of incidence is that acute angle formed by - ANSWER A line parallel to the wing
chord and a line parallel to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft
An airplane's center of lift is usually located aft of its center of gravity - ANSWER So that
the airplane will have a nose heavy tendency
An airplane is controlled directionally about its vertical axis by the - ANSWER Rudder
The elevators of a conventional airplane are used to provide rotation about the -
