AQT Study Guide UPDATED ACTUAL
Exam Questions and CORRECT Answers
landing gear - CORRECT ANSWER - Consists of the main gear and the nose gear. The
main gear is located under the wings and includes wheels, brakes and struts. The nose gear is
located under the nose of the aircraft and includes struts and wheels.
Engine - CORRECT ANSWER - Creates thrust
Fuselage - CORRECT ANSWER - the main body of an aircraft
Wing - CORRECT ANSWER - The major horizontal surface on an airplane that provides
lift.
Aileron - CORRECT ANSWER - The controlling surface that regulates an aircraft's
roll/lateral movement
Flaps - CORRECT ANSWER - Increase lift and drag
wing tip - CORRECT ANSWER - Outboard most part of the wing
Red - CORRECT ANSWER - Left wing light color
Green - CORRECT ANSWER - Right wing light color
Spoilers - CORRECT ANSWER - devices located on the wings that disrupt the airflow
over the wing causing loss of lift
, Slats - CORRECT ANSWER - Protrusions from the leading edge of a wing that, when
combined with the flaps, result in a significant increase in lift.
Primary Flight Controls - CORRECT ANSWER - Ailerons, Rudder, Elevator
Secondary Flight Controls - CORRECT ANSWER - Flaps, leading edge devices, spoilers
and trim devices
Horizontal Stabilizer - CORRECT ANSWER - An airfoil (usually at the back of an
airplane) that resists up and down changes in motion.
Vertical Stabilizer - CORRECT ANSWER - A structure that creates left to right forces to
keep the fuselage aligned in yaw with the relative wind. The structure itself is vertical while the
forces it creates are horizontal.
Rudder - CORRECT ANSWER - A controlling surface on an aircraft's tail that regulates
yaw.
elevator - CORRECT ANSWER - A rear horizontal stabilizer that controls up and down or
pitching motion of the aircraft nose.
Empennage - CORRECT ANSWER - The tail assembly of an aircraft, including the
horizontal and vertical stabilizers, elevators, and rudder.
What curve does the standard wing have? - CORRECT ANSWER - Upper curve
Flight Envelope - CORRECT ANSWER - Encompasses the limits of speed, altitude, and
angle of attack required by any aircraft to maintain a stable flight.
Stalling speed - CORRECT ANSWER - The minimum speed at which an aircraft can
maintain level flight
