Exam Questions and CORRECT
Answers
Theory of Flight: The four forces - CORRECT ANSWER - Lift, Gravity, Thrust, and Drag
Lift - CORRECT ANSWER - upward force
Gravity (or weight) - CORRECT ANSWER - downward force
Thrust - CORRECT ANSWER - forward force
Drag - CORRECT ANSWER - resisting force
In order to take off, the aircraft's __ and __ must be sufficient to overcome its __and __. -
CORRECT ANSWER - thrust, lift, weight, and drag
The pilot guides and controls the aircraft by controlling its pitch, roll, and yaw via the control
surfaces. These include the __ , __ , and __. - CORRECT ANSWER - ailerons, elevators,
and rudder
To land, an aircraft's __ must be reduced safely below its __, as its lift is reduced to levels less
than its __. - CORRECT ANSWER - thrust, drag, weight.
Fuselage (body) - CORRECT ANSWER - a rigid structure on which the aircraft
components, e.g., wing, tail, engine, etc., are mounted
Nose - CORRECT ANSWER - the forward section of an aircraft. It includes the flightdeck
where the captain and first officer sit
, Nacelle - CORRECT ANSWER - the protective covering surrounding the aircraft engine
Aileron - CORRECT ANSWER - hinged portion on the trailing edge of the wing. It raises
and lowers to
control the rolling motion of the aircraft.
Flaps - CORRECT ANSWER - hinged portion of the wing
located on the trailing (back) edges, covering the section of the wing from the fuselage to the
aileron. Flaps provide additional lift to compensate for the slower air speeds associated with
landing.
Elevators - CORRECT ANSWER - moveable control surfaces hinged to the horizontal
stabilizer, which control pitch or position of the nose of the aircraft relative to the horizon
Rudder - CORRECT ANSWER - located on the tail section. Controls the left to right
movement of the aircraft ("yaw").
Horizontal and Vertical Stabilizer - CORRECT ANSWER - located in the tail section,
contributes to the aircraft's stability. The horizontal stabilizers can be adjusted to align the
aircraft's flight path angle according to existing wind conditions. Additional control comes from
the vertical stabilizer.
Landing gear - CORRECT ANSWER - the understructure which is made up of the nose
and main gears. Retractable gear folds up into the aircraft in flight.
Empennage - CORRECT ANSWER - commonly referred to as the tail section, consists of
of the rudder, various tabs, vertical and horizontal stabilizers, and elevators
