Central Washington University AVP 221 Private Pilot Stage 1 Exam
|| All Solved.
What are the characteristics of a monocoque airplane structure? correct answers Almost all
structural loads are carried by the outer skin of the airplane.
Which control surfaces are usually located on the empennage? correct answers Rudder, elevator,
stabilator
What condition must be present for carburetor ice to form? correct answers High relative
humidity
A power loss occurs when you apply carburetor heat because correct answers less dense air is
entering the engine.
Detonation can be described as correct answers fuel in the cylinders exploding instead of burning
smoothly.
If the engine magneto switch is turned to the "OFF" position, but the engine continues to run, the
probable cause is correct answers a broken magneto ground wire.
Excessive cylinder head and engine oil temperatures can be caused by correct answers using a
lower-than-normal fuel grade.
The three pressure instruments connected to the pitot-static system are the correct answers
airspeed indicator, altimeter, and vertical speed indicator.
According to the markings on the accompanying airspeed indicator, what is the maximum speed
with flaps fully extended? correct answers 85 knots (white arc)
, Assume that you land at an airport with the altimeter set to 29.92 instead of the current setting of
30.00. What will the altimeter read if the field elevation is 2,000 feet MSL? correct answers
2,080 feet MSL (10 feet per .01 in. Hg.)
The turn coordinator provides a direct indication of aircraft correct answers rate of turn.
The attitude indicator reflects the airplane's movement about the correct answers longitudinal and
lateral axes.
How often should you check the heading indicator and align it with the magnetic compass?
correct answers Every 15 minutes
After departing runway 36, you make a left turn to a heading of 180º. If the magnetic compass
initially indicates a turn in the opposite direction, you should know that this reaction is correct
answers normal for all magnetic compasses under similar conditions. (magnetic dip)
What two conditions normally cause an increase in lift? correct answers Increased angle of attack
and increased speed
What causes the separation of air over the wing during a stall? correct answers The angle formed
by the wing chord line and the relative wind is excessive, regardless of airspeed or altitude.
How are the lift and drag components of the wing affected when you lower the flaps? correct
answers Both lift and drag increase
Wingtip vortices contribute to the production of correct answers induced drag.
What are the control characteristics of an aircraft with the CG forward of limits? correct answers
Very stable pitch, inadequate elevator control for landing, longer takeoff run, and greater nose-
over tendency.
