Which of the following statements regarding energy is true? - Ans d. Kine c energy can be
traded for poten al energy, and poten al energy can be traded for kine c energy
The objec ve in maneuvering the airplane is to manage energy so that: - Ans d. All of the above
What is the effect on total drag if airspeed slows below L/D Max? - Ans c. Drag increases
because of increased induced drag.
A jet pilot flying at L/D Max will obtain best: - Ans b. Endurance
When a jet aircra+ is flown at the appropriate airspeed for maximum range, which type of drag
predominates? - Ans a. Parasite
While already at high speed, what happens if Mach is allowed to increase? - Ans d. All of the
above
What is the result of a shock-induced separa on of airflow occurring symmetrically near the
wing root of a swept wing aircra+? - Ans c. A severe moment of "Mach tuck"
The speed of sound generally decreases with increasing al tude. This occurs because: - Ans a.
The air temperature decreases.
Cri cal Mach number can be defined as: - Ans c. The speed of an aircra+ in which airflow over
any part of the aircra+ or structure first reaches, but doesn't exceed Mach 1.0.
,Stability in the ver cal axis tends to drive the sideslip angle toward zero. The most dynamic
stability about the ver cal axis on modern jet transports is from: - Ans c. An ac ve stability
augmenta on system / yaw damper.
Swept wings cause a significant: - Ans b. Reduc on in effec veness of flaps.
Why is convergence of Stall AOA and Mmo hazardous? - Ans d. All of the above
To maintain al tude in a banked turn, the li+ produced by the airplane must be: - Ans a.
Greater than the airplane weight, and the amount is a func on of bank angle.
Excessive bank angles at high al tudes can be hazardous because: - Ans d. All of the above
When opera ng at constant speed with constant thrust se8ng at high al tude (typically above
FL250) in slow flight below L/D Max airspeed, any disturbance causing a decrease in airspeed
will result in a further decrease in airspeed unless thrust in increased. High al tude recovery
from slow flight while turning is best accomplished by: - Ans c. Increasing thrust to maximum
available thrust and reducing bank angle while accelera ng to airspeed above L/D Max speed. In
a thrust limited situa on, exi ng slow flight will require an immediate descend as an
aerodynamic stall is imminent.
Maximum Al tude is the highest al tude at which an airplane can be operated. Maximum
Al tude for an airplane is: - Ans e. The lowest of the above listed al tudes.
Exceed the cri cal angle of aAack and the surface will stall, and li+ will decrease instead of
increasing. This is true: - Ans d. Regardless of airplane speed or a8tude.
Which of the following statements is true? - Ans d. Recovery from approach to stall warning is
the same as recovery from a stall.
,The airplane angle of aAack is the angle between the wing chord and the oncoming air or
rela ve wind. - Ans True
Airplane stall speeds are published in the Approved Flight Manual for each airplane model.
These speeds are presented as a func on of aircra+ weight. Therefor if the pilot maintains
airspeed above the appropriate speed listed for the aircra+ weight, the aircra+ will not stall. -
Ans False
The stall speed of an airplane: - Ans b. Is affected by weight and bank angle.
Large downward aileron deflec ons: - Ans a. Cloud induce air separa on over that por on of
the wing at very high angles of aAack.
Place the following steps from the stall recovery template in the correct order: - Ans d.
Disconnect autopilot and autothroAle / autothurst.
b. Apply nose down pitch control un l impeding stall indica ons are eliminated.
c. Adjust bank angle to wings level.
f. Apply thrust as needed.
a. Retract speed brakes and spoilers.
e. Return to the desire flight path.
The predominant number of airplane upsets are caused by: - Ans a. Environmental factors.
Most of the mul -engine turbojet loss-of-control incidents that are caused by environmental
factors because of: - Ans d. Wake turbulence
, When ini a ng recommended airplane upset recovery techniques, the first two techniques are:
- Ans c. Recognize and confirm the situa on and disengage the autopilot and auto-throtles.
In a nose high, wings level airplane upset, a+er accomplishing the first two recommended
techniques: - Ans a. Apply up to full nosedown elevator and consider trimming off some control
force.
During recovery from a nose-low, high-bank-angle airplane upset: - Ans b. It may be necessary
to unload the airplane by decreasing backpressure.
When should an upset recovery be ini ated? - Ans c. Whenever an uninten onal excessive
divergence from the intended flight path and/or airspeed occurs.
During recovery from an airplane upset: - Ans d. Pilots must be prepared to use full control
authority.
Why do de-icing methods typically require the airplane to be sprayed twice? - Ans c. The
second applica on of fluid is more viscous, so it will s ck to the airplane un l takeoff for
con nued protec on.
Why is clear air turbulence difficult to avoid? - Ans d. All of the above.
Radar aAenua on occurs when: - Ans a. A precipita on cell near the airplane absorbs/reflects
all the radio energy from a radar pulse, thus masking another cell behind it.
To determine whether they may conduct a par cular low-visibility opera on, an airline pilot
primarily must consult: - Ans c. Their employer's OpSpecs
