Answers 100% Pass
Aircraft brakes are located on which wheels? Correct Answer-Main wheels
Most general aviation airplane propellers have how many blades? Correct Answer-2 or 3
Where are the required operating limits and weight and balance records for a particular
aircraft found? Correct Answer-Pilots Operating Handbook (POH)
What is the other accepted name for the pilot's operating handbook (POH)? Correct
Answer-FAA Approved Flight Manuel
Using the ISA standards for altitude change, if an aircraft is at 4,000 feet and 10 degrees C,
what will the temperature be if the aircraft increases to 10,000 feet? Correct Answer--2
degrees C
What is the pitot-static system used for? Correct Answer-To determine speed, altitude, and
altitude trend

Answers 100% Pass
The pitot-static system generally consists of what two components? Correct Answer-The
pitot tube and pitot-static instruments
Vso Correct Answer-Airspeed indicator: Lowest limit of the white arc, the stall speed or the
minimum steady flight speed in the landing configuration.
Vs1 Correct Answer-Airspeed: Lowest limit of the green arc, the stall speed or minimum
steady flight speed obtained in a specific configuration
Vfe Correct Answer-Maximum speed with the flaps extended. Upper limit of the green
arch
Vno Correct Answer-Upper limit of the green arc, the maximum structural cruising speed
Va Correct Answer-Design maneuvering speed. Listed in POH. Speed you can use full
control movement and not cause structural damage to the aircraft. It changes with aircraft
weight. It's greater when aircraft is heavy and lower when the load is light.

Vlo and Vle Correct Answer-Max landing gear operating airspeed and maximum landing
gear extended airspeed
Indicated airspeed (IAS) Correct Answer-On airspeed indicator. It's calibrated for sea level
conditions.
Doesn't reflect variation in air density.
Importance performance airspeeds are always the same indicated airspeed, regardless of
altitude.
Calibrated airspeed (CAS) Correct Answer-Indicated airspeed corrected for installation
error and instrument error.
Determine by looking at chart in the POH.
True airspeed (TAS) Correct Answer-Actual speed through the air. Calibrated airspeed
corrected for density changes due to altitude and temperature.
Use flight computer to determine.
Groundspeed Correct Answer-Actual speed over the ground.
