Question:
2. The objective in maneuvering the airplane is to manage energy so that:
Answer:
d. All of the above
Question:
3. What is the effect on total drag if airspeed slows below L/D Max?
Answer:
c. Drag increases because of increased induced drag.
Question:
4. A jet pilot flying at L/D Max will obtain best:
Answer:
b. Endurance
Question:
5. When a jet aircraft is flown at the appropriate airspeed for maximum range, which type of drag
predominates?
Answer:
a. Parasite
Question:
6. While already at high speed, what happens if Mach is allowed to increase?
Answer:
d. All of the above
Question:
7. What is the result of a shock-induced separation of airflow occurring symmetrically near the wing root
of a swept wing aircraft?
Answer:
c. A severe moment of "Mach tuck"
Question:
8. The speed of sound generally decreases with increasing altitude. This occurs because:
Answer:
a. The air temperature decreases.
, Question:
9. Critical Mach number can be defined as:
Answer:
c. The speed of an aircraft in which airflow over any part of the aircraft or structure first reaches, but
doesn't exceed Mach 1.0.
Question:
10. Stability in the vertical axis tends to drive the sideslip angle toward zero. The most dynamic stability
about the vertical axis on modern jet transports is from:
Answer:
c. An active stability augmentation system / yaw damper.
Question:
11. Swept wings cause a significant:
Answer:
b. Reduction in effectiveness of flaps.
Question:
12. Why is convergence of Stall AOA and Mmo hazardous?
Answer:
d. All of the above
Question:
13. To maintain altitude in a banked turn, the lift produced by the airplane must be:
Answer:
a. Greater than the airplane weight, and the amount is a function of bank angle.
Question:
14. Excessive bank angles at high altitudes can be hazardous because:
Answer:
d. All of the above
Question:
15. When operating at constant speed with constant thrust setting at high altitude (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 altitude recovery from slow flight while
turning is best accomplished by:
Answer:
c. Increasing thrust to maximum available thrust and reducing bank angle while accelerating to airspeed
above L/D Max speed. In a thrust limited situation, exiting slow flight will require an immediate descend
as an aerodynamic stall is imminent.
Question:
16. Maximum Altitude is the highest altitude at which an airplane can be operated. Maximum Altitude for
an airplane is:
Answer:
e. The lowest of the above listed altitudes.
