any part of the aircraft or structure first reaches, but doesn't exceed Mach 1.0.
II II II II II II II II II II II II II II

When operating at constant speed with constant thrust setting at high altitude (typically

II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II

II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II
relative wind. - True
II II II II II
Airplane stall speeds are published in the Approved Flight Manual for each airplane
II II II II II II II II II II II II II
model. These speeds are presented as a function of aircraft weight. Therefor if the pilot
II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II
maintains airspeed above the appropriate speed listed for the aircraft weight, the aircraft
II II II II II II II II II II II II II
will not stall. - False
II II II II II II
II The stall speed of an airplane: - b. Is affected by weight and bank angle.
II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II
