Questions and Correct Answers | New
Update
Absolute Accuracy - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The ability to determine present
position in space independently, and is most often used by pilots.
Absolute Altitude - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The actual distance between an aircraft
and the terrain over which it is flying.
Absolute Pressure - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Pressure measured from the reference
of zero pressure, or a vacuum.
Acceleration error - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔A magnetic compass error apparent
when the aircraft accelerates while flying on an easterly or westerly
heading, causing the compass card to rotate toward North.
Accelerate-go distance - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The distance required to
accelerate to V1 with all engines at takeoff power, experience an engine
failure at V1, and continue the takeoff on the remaining engine(s). The

,runway required includes the distance required to climb to 35 feet by which
time V2 speed must be attained.
Accelerate-stop distance - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The distance required to
accelerate to V1 with all engines at takeoff power, experience an engine
failure at V1, and abort the takeoff and bring the airplane to a stop using
braking action only (use of thrust reversing is not considered).
Accelerometer - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔A part of an inertial navigation system
(INS) that accurately measures the force of acceleration in one direction.
Adjustable-pitch propeller - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔A propeller with blades whose
pitch can be adjusted on the ground with the engine not running, but which
cannot be adjusted in flight. Also referred to as a ground adjustable
propeller. Sometimes also used to refer to constant-speed propellers that
are adjustable in flight.
Adjustable stabilizer - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔A stabilizer that can be adjusted in
flight to trim the airplane, thereby allowing the airplane to fly hands-off at
any given airspeed.
Advection fog - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Fog resulting from the movement of warm,
humid air over a cold surface.

,Adverse yaw - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔A condition of flight in which the nose of an
airplane tends to yaw toward the outside of the turn. This is caused by the
higher induced drag on the outside wing, which is also producing more lift.
Induced drag is a by-product of the lift associated with the outside wing.
Aerodynamics - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The science of the action of air on an
object, and with the motion of air on other gases. Aerodynamics deals with
the production of lift by the aircraft, the relative wind, and the atmosphere.
Aeronautical chart - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔A map used in air navigation
containing all or part of the following: topographic features, hazards and
obstructions, navigation aids, navigation routes, designated airspace, and
airports.
Aeronautical decision-making (ADM) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔A systematic
approach to the mental process used by pilots to consistently determine the
best course of action in response to a given set of circumstances.
Agonic line - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔An irregular imaginary line across the surface
of the Earth along which the magnetic and geographic poles are in
alignment, and along which there is no magnetic variation.

, Ailerons - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Primary flight control surfaces mounted on the
trailing edge of an airplane wing, near the tip. Ailerons control roll about the
longitudinal axis.
Aircraft altitude - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The actual height above sea level at
which the aircraft is flying.
Aircraft approach category - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔A performance grouping of
aircraft based on a speed of 1.3 times the stall speed in the landing
configuration at maximum gross landing weight.
Air Data Computer (ADC) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔An aircraft computer that
receives and processes pitot pressure, static pressure, and temperature to
calculate very precise altitude, indicated airspeed, true airspeed, and air
temperature.
Airfoil - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Any surface, such as a wing, which provides
aerodynamic force when it interacts with a moving stream of air.
AIRMET - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Inflight weather advisory issued as an
amendment to the area forecast, concerning weather phenomena of
operational interest to all aircraft and that is potentially hazardous to aircraft
