Aviation Information Practice Test
Questions Fully Solved.
It has no effect.
The rudder does not extend outward, and it is controlled by the foot pedals, not by the cyclic. -
Answer When the cyclic in a helicopter is pushed forward, what effect does that have on the
rudder?
the ailerons and the spoilers - Answer Which aircraft component(s) affect roll along the
longitudinal axis?
The elevators - Answer control pitch along the lateral axis of the aircraft
rudder - Answer affects the vertical axis of the aircraft
a best rate of climb - Answer type of climb made with the maximum power available
a best angle of climb - Answer This climb is used to clear obstacles in the flight path.
a medium climb and a steep climb - Answer These are not a type of climb.
a normal climb - Answer This climb is not used with maximum power.
the NOTAR - Answer What type of helicopter design uses a ducted fan in place of a tail rotor to
cancel torque effect?
Coaxial rotor system and the tandem rotor system - Answer cancels torque effect by using
counter-rotating rotor heads.
torque effect - Answer newton's third law for every action there is an equal and opposite
reaction
prop revolves in one direction, so an equal force pushes the airplane in the opposite direction
is greatest at low airspeeds/high power settings/high angle of attack (climb)
, The NOTAR design - Answer uses a ducted fan to vector air out of the tail to cancel torque
effect.
semi-monocoque - Answer the term that refers to a fuselage type that utilizes longitudinal
reinforcement to add strength.
The skids - Answer used as landing gear for rotary-wing aircraft.
maximum lift and high drag - Answer When an aircraft is approaching to land, the leading and
trailing edges of its flaps are extended to create the following force(s).
an increase in drag - Answer The airflow over and around the extended wings causes
maximum lift - Answer On an approach to land, since airspeed is decreased, this is required to
keep the aircraft airborne until touchdown.
decrease airspeed - Answer An aircraft must do this when approaching to land.
lower the collective pitch - Answer When flying a helicopter, what response should be taken if
the rpm is low and the manifold pressure is high?
This decreases the manifold pressure, which in turn increases rpm.
manifold pressure - Answer Increasing the throttle increases
Cyclic movement - Answer does not affect manifold pressure.
raise the collective pitch - Answer This increases manifold pressure and decreases rpm.
reduce the throttle - Answer This decreases rpm and manifold pressure.
weight, lift, thrust, and drag - Answer Which aerodynamic force(s) must a rotary-wing aircraft
balance in order to hover?
effective Translational Lift - Answer An _?_ results from increased efficiency of the main rotor
system as directional flight is established.
