EXAM 1: Private Pilot; Questions with Complete
Solutions
the four forces acting on an airplane in flight are Correct Answer-lift, weight, thrust, and
drag
what is one purpose of wing flaps? Correct Answer-to enable the pilot to make steeper
approaches to a landing without increasing the airspeed
what force makes an airplane turn? Correct Answer-the horizontal component of lift
if an airplane weighs 2,300 pounds, what approximate weight would the airplane structure be
required to support during a 60° banked turn while maintaining altitude? Correct Answer-
4,600 pounds
an aircraft said to be inherently stable will Correct Answer-require less effort to control
what is the purpose of the rudder on an airplane? Correct Answer-to control yaw
the possibility of carburetor icing exists even when the ambient air temperature is as
Correct Answer-high as 70°F and the relative humidity is high
, EXAM 1: Private Pilot; Questions with Complete
Solutions
the greatest vortex strength occurs when the generating aircraft is Correct Answer-heavy,
clean, and slow
what action can a pilot take to aid in coping an engine that is overheating during a climb?
Correct Answer-reduce rate of climb and increase airspeed
when taking off or landing at an airport where heavy aircraft are operating, one should be
particularly alert to the hazards of wingtip vortices because this turbulence tends to
Correct Answer-sink into the flightpath of aircraft operating below the aircraft generating
the turbulence
excessively high engine temperatures will Correct Answer-cause loss of power, excessive
oil consumption, and possible permanent internal engine damage
the angle between the chord line of an airfoil and the relative wind is known as the angle of
Correct Answer-attack
