One undesirable flight characteristic a pilot might experience with this airplane would be - correct answer difficulty in recovering from a stalled condition The term 'angle of attack' is defined as the angle between the - correct answer chord line of the wing and the relative wind What is ground effect - correct answer the result of the interference of the. surface of the Earth with the airflow patterns about an airplane During an approach to a stall, an increased load factor will cause the airplane to - correct answer stall at a higher speed (Refer to Figure 2) If an airplane weighs 3,300 pounds, what approximate weight would the airplane structure be required to support during a 30' banked turn while maintaining altitude? - correct answer 3,960 pounds When landing behind a large aircraft, which procedure should be followed for vortex avoidance? - correct answer Stay above its final approach flightpath all the way to touchdown The angle between the chord line of an airfoil and the relative wind is known as the angle of - correct answer attack what force makes an airplane turn - correct answer the horizontal component of lift Which statement relates to Bernoulli's principle? - correct answer Air traveling faster over the curved upper surface of an airfoil causes lower pressure on the top surface The four forces acting on an airplane in flight are - correct answer lift, weight, thrust, and drag changes in the center of pressure of a wing affect the aircraft's - correct answer aerodynamic balance and controllability select the four flight fundamentals involved in maneuvering an aircraft - correct answer straight-and-level flight, turns, climbs, and descents an airplane said to be inherently stable will - correct answer require less effort to control wingtip vortices are created only when an aircraft is - correct answer developing lift (Refer to Figure 2) If an airplane weighs 2,300 pounds, what approximate weight would the airplane structure be required to support during a 60' banked turn while maintaining altitude - correct answer 4,600 pounds the greatest vortex strength occurs when the generating aircraft is - correct answer heavy, clean, and slow when landing behind a large aircraft, the pilot should avoid wake turbulence by staying - correct answer above the large aircraft's final approach path and landing beyond the large aircraft's touchdown point ground effect is most likely to result in which problem? - correct answer becoming airborne before reaching recommended takeoff speed when executing an emergency approach to land in a single-engine airplane, it is important to maintain a constant glide speed because variations in glide speed - correct answer nullify all attempts at accuracy in judgement of gliding distance and landing spot how does the wake turbulence vortex circulate around each wingtip? - correct answer outward, upward, and around each tip when taking off or landing at an airport where heavy aircraft are operating, one should be particularly alert to the hazards of wingtip vortices because this turbulence tends to - correct answer sink into the flightpath of aircraft operating below the aircraft generating the turbulence the angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls will - correct answer remain the same regardless of gross weight which basic flight maneuver increases the load factor on an airplane as compared to straight-and-level flight? - correct answer turns the amount of excess load that can be imposed on the wing of an airplane depends upon the - correct answer speed of the airplane when departing behind a heavy aircraft, the pilot should avoid wake turbulence by maneuvering the aircraft - correct answer above and upwind from the heavy aircraft if an emergency situation requires a downwind landing, pilots should expect a faster - correct answer groundspeed at touchdown, a larger ground roll, and the likelihood of overshooting the desired touchdown point (Refer to figure 62) In flying the rectangular course, when would the aircraft be turned less than 90' - correct answer Corners 1 and 4 the wind condition that requires maximum caution when avoiding wake turbulence on landing is a - correct answer light, quartering tailwind in what flight condition must be an aircraft be placed in order to spin - correct answer stalled floating caused by the phenomenon of ground effect will be most realized during an approach to land when at - correct answer less than the length of the wingspan above the surface (Refer to Figure 1.) The acute angle A is the angle of - correct answer attack what is the relationship of lift, drag, thrust, and weight when the airplane is in straight-and-level flight? - correct answer lift equals weight and thrust equals drag wingtip vortices created by large aircraft tend to - correct answer sink below the aircraft generating turbulence one of the main functions of flaps during approach and landing is to - correct answer increase the angle of descent without increasing the airspeed (Refer to Figure 2) If an airplane weighs 4,500 pounds, what approximate weight would the airplane structure be required to support during a 45' banked turn while maintaining altitude - correct answer 6,750 pounds As altitude increases, the indicated airspeed at which a given airplane stalls in a particular configuration will - correct answer remain the same regardless of altitude what is the purpose of the rudder on an airplane - correct answer to control yaw during a spin to the left, which wing(s) is/are stalled? - correct answer both wings are stalled What must a pilot be aware of as a result of ground effect? - correct answer induced drag decreases; therefore, any excess speed at the point of flare may cause considerable floating loading an airplane to the most aft CG will cause the airplane to be - correct answer less stable at all speeds when are the four forces that act on an airplane in equilibrium? - correct answer during unaccelerated flight what determines the longitudinal stability of an airplane - correct answer the location of the CG with respect to the center of lfit what causes an airplane (except a T-tail) to pitch nose down when power is reduced and controls are not adjusted? - correct answer the downwash on the elevators from the propeller slipstream is reduced and elevator effectiveness is reduced (Refer to Figure 66)While practicing S-turns, a consistently smaller half-circle is made on one side of the road than on the other, and this turn is not completed before crossing the road or reference line. This would most likely occur in turn - correct answer 4-5-6 because the bank is increased too rapidly during the early part of the turn What is one purpose of wing flaps? - correct answer to enable the pilot to make steeper approaching to a landing without increasing the airspeed in what flight condition is torque effect the greatest in a single-engine plane? - correct answer low airspeed, high power, high angle of attack to properly purge water from the fuel system of an aircraft equipped with fuel tank sumps and a fuel strainer quick drain, it is necessary to drain fuel from the - correct answer fuel strainer drain and the fuel tank sumps
