Aviation 101 Canvas Test 1 Exam
Questions with Answers
Oil - -Cools the engine
- Detonation, which is the uncontrolled, explosive ignition of the fuel/air mixture,
can happen for a variety of reasons including - -None of the above; Using a higher
fuel grade than recommended, Using a low power setting with mixture set too rich,
Climbing too shallow which results in the cylinder heads being too cool
- When the pilot levels off at altitude, he or she uses the trim to relieve control
pressures. When leveled, if the pilot has to push forward to hold altitude, then the
trim must be - -Rolled toward the nose down position
- Flaps allow the pilot to - -All of the above; Land in a shorter distance, Take-off on
a shorter runway, Fly at slower airspeeds
- The fuel tanks are vented to: - -Allow air to enter the tank to prevent a vacuum
- In the Cessna 172, the fuel shutoff valve is pulled - -Only during emergency
operations
- A constant-speed propeller... - -Allows the pilot to change the propeller RPM
- If the airplane's electrical system were to fail, the magneto would not be able to
generate sparks for the engine to run. - -False
- During preflight, the pilot - -Both B & C; Checks fuel quantity solely on the
instrument panel using the gauges, Verifies that the fuel is free of contaminants
- The powerplant provides: - -All of the above; Engine power, Heat to the cabin,
Electricity
- An aerodynamic stall is: - -When the airflow over the wing separates from the
wing's upper surface, resulting in turbulent airflow
- Proper recovery from a stall should include decreasing the angle of attack,
increasing power, and minimizing altitude loss. - -True
- The _________ is usually designed into an airfoil to increase the maximum
coefficient of lift, and thereby minimizing the stalling speed of the aircraft. - -
Camber
- Generally speaking, a pilot can control the amount of lift the wings can generate
by altering: - -Both A & B; Angle of attack, Airspeed
- This wing type is ideal for flight at slow speeds, but does not have favorable stall
characteristics - -Elliptical Wing
