When taking off or landing at an airport where heavy aircraft are operating, one should be
particularly alert to the hazards of wingtip vortices because this turbulence tends to...? correct
answers Sink into the flightpath of aircraft operating below the aircraft generating the turbulence.
When does P-factor cause the airplane to yaw to the left? correct answers When at high angles of
attack.
An airplane has been loaded in such a manner that the CG is located aft of the aft CG limit. One
undesirable flight characteristic a pilot might experience with this airplane would be...? correct
answers Difficulty in recovering from a stalled condition.
The greatest vortex strength occurs when the generating aircraft is...? correct answers Heavy,
clean, and slow.
During an approach to a stall, an increased load factor will cause the airplane to...? correct
answers Stall at a higher speed.
If an airplane weighs 4,500 pounds, what approximate weight would the airplane structure be
required to support during a 45° banked turn while maintaining altitude? correct answers 6,300
What is the purpose of the rudder on an airplane? correct answers To control yaw.
The acute angle A is the angle of...? correct answers Attack
Which marking identifies the never-exceed speed? correct answers The red radial line.
, When departing behind a heavy aircraft, the pilot should avoid wake turbulence by maneuvering
the aircraft...? correct answers Above and upwind from the heavy aircraft.
Which statement relates to Bernoulli's Principle? correct answers Air traveling faster over the
curved upper surface of an airfoil causes lower pressure on the top surface.
The horizontal dashed line from point C to point E represents the...? correct answers Positive
limit load factor.
How does wake turbulence vortex circulate around each wingtip? correct answers Outward,
upward, and around each tip.
One of the main functions of flaps during approach and landing is to...? correct answers Increase
the angle of descent without increasing the airspeed.
What is an important airspeed limitation that is not color coded on airspeed indicators? correct
answers Maneuvering speed
What is the relationship of lift, drag, thrust, and weight when the airplane is in straight-and-level
flight? correct answers Lift equals weight and thrust equals drag.
What is the definition of load factor? correct answers Additional weight carried by the wings
divided by the weight of the aircraft.

the wing and the relative wind.
Which color identifies the power-off stalling speed with wing flaps and landing gear in the
landing configuration? correct answers Lower limit of the white arc.
The left turning tendency of an airplane caused by P-factor is the result of the...? correct answers
Propeller blade descending on the right producing more thrust than the ascending blade on the
left.
Vso is defined as the...? correct answers Stalling speed or minimum steady flight speed in the
landing configuration.
During a spin to the left, which wing(s) is/are stalled? correct answers Both wings are stalled.
What is the full flap operating range for the airplane? correct answers 55 to 100 KTS
Why is frost considered hazardous to flight? correct answers Frost spoils the smooth flow of air
over the wings, thereby decreasing lifting capability.
Wingtip vortices are created only when an aircraft is...? correct answers Developing lift
