Name the four turning tendencies of a propeller-driven airplane - CORRECT ANSWER -
1. P-Factor
2. Torque
3. Slipstream
4. Gyroscopic Precession
Name the three corrections for left turning tendencies that manufacturers often build into an
airplane - CORRECT ANSWER - 1. Offset Engines
2. Offset Fin
3. Angle of Incidence Differential
When are you most likely to see P-Factor? - CORRECT ANSWER - 1. Slow Speeds
2. High Angle of Attack
Name the two elements of P-Factor - CORRECT ANSWER - 1. AOA Differential
2. Relative Wind
During a steep turn, name the two turning tendencies that pull the nose to the left - CORRECT
ANSWER - P-Factor and Torque
(slow airspeed, high angle of attack)
Why should your first clearing turn be made to the left? - CORRECT ANSWER - To
account for right of way rules, aircraft over-taking you will be flying to your right
During a Chandelle, what should the power be set to? - CORRECT ANSWER - Enter 100
KIAS, then full power
, True or False
During a Chandelle, the first half is changing pitch, the last half is changing bank - CORRECT
ANSWER - True
What causes an accidental spin? - CORRECT ANSWER - Side-Slip during a stall
What causes a side-slip? - CORRECT ANSWER - Uncoordinated Flight
What is the most common cause of an unintentional spin? - CORRECT ANSWER - Slip
during a stall
Explain the two causes of adverse yaw - CORRECT ANSWER - Caused by both Ailerons
(upward and downward facing)
Form drag anytime you force anything to change directions
True or False
Over-banking tendency happens partially because the raised wing is traveling at a higher speed
than the lowered wing - CORRECT ANSWER - True
What causes over-banking tendencies? - CORRECT ANSWER - Lateral component of lift
on the raised wing is greater than the vertical component of lift on the lower wing
Outer wing turns faster than inner wing (speed differential)
