KING SCHOOL FINAL
what is ground effect? - Answer- The result of the interference of the surface of the Earth with the
airflow patterns about an airplane.
which v speed represents best angle of climb speed? - Answer- Vx
When are the four forces that act on an airplane in equilibrium? - Answer- during unaccelerated
flight
When landing behind a large aircraft, which procedure should be followed for vortex avoidance? -
Answer- stay above its final approach flightpath all the way down to touchdown
what force makes an airplane turn? - Answer- The horizontal component of lift.
Wingtip vortices are created only when an aircraft is - Answer- developing lift
what is the purpose of the rudder on an airplane? - Answer- To control yaw.
When landing behind a large aircraft, the pilot should avoid wake turbulence by staying? - Answer-
above the large aircrafts final approach path and landing beyond the large aircrafts touchdown
point
(refer to figure 4) what is the caution range of the airplane? - Answer- 165 to 208 KTS
As altitude increases, the indicated airspeed at which a given airplane stalls in a particular
configuration will - Answer- remain the same regardless of altitude
the condition that requires maximum caution when avoiding wake turbulence on landing is a -
Answer- light, quartering tailwind
How does the wake turbulence vortex circulate around each wingtip? - Answer- outward, upward,
and around each tip
an airplane said to be inherently stable will - Answer- require less effort to control
what is the relationship of lift, drag, thrust, and weight when the airplane is in straight and level
flight? - Answer- lift equals weight and thrust equals drag
in what flight condition must an aircraft be placed in order to spin? - Answer- stalled
the angle between the chord line of an airfoil and the relative wind is known as the angle of -
Answer- attack
(refer to figure 4) Which color identifies the power off stalling speed in a specified configuration? -
Answer- lower limit of the green arc
(refer to figure 1) The acute angle A is the angle of - Answer- attack
