The elevator controls movement around which axis?
- ANSWER-Lateral
Which statement is true concerning primary flight
controls?
A. The effectiveness of each control surface
increases with speed because there is more airflow
over them.
B. Only when all three primary flight controls move in
sequence do the airflow and pressure distribution
change over and around the airfoil.
,C. Primary flight controls include ailerons, rudder,
elevator, and trim systems. - ANSWER-A. The
effectiveness of each control surface increases with
speed because there is more airflow over them
Which of the following is true concerning flaps?
A. Flaps are attached to the leading edge of the
wing and are used to increase wing lift.
B. Flaps allow an increase in the angle of descent
without increasing airspeed.
C. Flaps are high drag devices deployed from the
wings to reduce lift. - ANSWER-B. Flaps allow an
increase in the angle of descent without increasing
airspeed
Which device is a secondary flight control?
A. Spoilers
B. Ailerons
C. Stabilators - ANSWER-A. Spoilers

pilot are... - ANSWER-7200' MSL and 8900' MSL
The wind and temperature at 12,000' MSL as
reported by a pilot are... - ANSWER-80° at 21 knots
and -7°C
,If the terrain elevation is 1295' MSL, what is the
height above ground level of the base of the ceiling?
- ANSWER-505' AGL
The intensity of the turbulence reported at a specific
altitude is... - ANSWER-Light from 5500' to 7200'
The intensity and type of icing reported by a pilot is...
- ANSWER-Light to moderate rime
The only cloud type forecast in TAF reports is... -
ANSWER-Cumulonimbus
From which primary source should information be
obtained regarding expected weather at the
estimated time of arrival if your destination has no
Terminal Forecast? - ANSWER-Area Forecast
To best determine general forecast weather
conditions covering a flight information region the
pilot should refer to... - ANSWER-Aviation Area
Forecasts.
To determine the freezing level and areas of
probable icing aloft, the pilot should refer to the... -
ANSWER-In-flight aviation weather advisories
, Trim systems are designed to do what? - ANSWER-
They relieve the pilot of the need to maintain
constant back pressure on the flight controls
The four forces acting on an airplane in flight are: -
ANSWER-Lift, Weight, Thrust, and Drag
When are the four forces that act on an airplane in
equilibrium? - ANSWER-During unaccelerated flight
What is the relationship of lift, drag, thrust, and
weight when the airplane is in straight-and-level
flight? - ANSWER-Lift equals weight
Thrust equals drag
Which statement relates to Bernoulli's principle? -
ANSWER-Air traveling faster over the curve upper
surface of an airfoil causes lower pressure on the
top surface
The term "angle of attack" is defined as the angle... -
ANSWER-Between the wing chord line and the
relative wind
Angle of attack is defined as the chord line of an
airfoil and the... - ANSWER-Direction of the relative
wind
