AIR CADET AVIATION EXAM LEVEL 4 EXAM
WITH CORRECT ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND
CORRECTLY WELL DEFINED ANSWERS
LATEST 2025 ALREADY GRADED A+
Deviation - ANSWERS-The slight deflection of the compass caused by
surrounding metal of the aircraft around a compass.
The compass, when affected, shows compass north. The difference between
compass north and magnetic north is called: _________.
Magnetic Dip - ANSWERS-The Earth's magnetic field bends toward the poles.
This causes the north end of the compass needle to dip towards the ground in
an error known as: ________ ___.
Northerly Turning Error - ANSWERS-On turns FROM the North the compass will
lag, and on turns TO the North the compass will lead in an error known as:
_________ _______ _____.
, Transition Point - ANSWERS-The point where laminar flow changes to turbulent
flow.
Aspect Ratio - ANSWERS-The relationship between the length of the wing and
its width, calculated by dividing the wingspan by the average chord (Leading
edge to trailing edge).
Angle of Incidence - ANSWERS-The angle at which the wing is permanently
inclined to the longitudinal axis of the wing.
Wash-Out - ANSWERS-Decrease of the angle of incidence at the wingtip. (ex.
Installing wingtip fuel tanks, using winglets, drooping the wingtips, etc.)
Wash-In - ANSWERS-Increase of the angle of incidence at the wingtip. (ex.
Installing wingtip fuel tanks, using winglets, drooping the wingtips, etc.)
Slats - ANSWERS-Auxiliary airfoils that automatically move out in front of the
leading edge of the wing at high angles of attack, to improve low speed
stability/handling.
Slots - ANSWERS-Auxiliary airfoils that DO NOT move, they are passageways
built in the wing, but serve the same purpose as slats.
Pitot Pressure - ANSWERS-The increase in air pressure caused by the forward
motion of the aircraft through the air.
