Which V-speed represents best-angle-of-climb speed? - CORRECT ANSWER - Vˣ
Vₙₒ is defined as the...? - CORRECT ANSWER - Maximum structural cruising speed.
Which V-speed represents maximum landing gear extended speed? - CORRECT
ANSWER - ⱽᴸᴱ
Which would provide the greatest gain in altitude in the shortest distance during climb after
takeoff? - CORRECT ANSWER - Vˣ
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.
When are the four forces that act on an airplane in equilibrium? - CORRECT ANSWER -
During unaccelerated flight.
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.
When does P-factor cause the airplane to yaw to the left? - CORRECT ANSWER - When
at high angles of attack.
, An airplane has been loaded in such a manner that the CG is located aft of the aft CG limit. One
undesirable flight characteristic a pilot might experience with this airplane would be...? -
CORRECT ANSWER - Difficulty in recovering from a stalled condition.
The greatest vortex strength occurs when the generating aircraft is...? - CORRECT
ANSWER - Heavy, clean, and slow.
During an approach to a stall, an increased load factor will cause the airplane to...? - CORRECT
ANSWER - Stall at a higher speed.
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 - 6,300
What is the purpose of the rudder on an airplane? - CORRECT ANSWER - To control
yaw.
The acute angle A is the angle of...? - CORRECT ANSWER - Attack
Which marking identifies the never-exceed speed? - CORRECT ANSWER - The red
radial line.
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.
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 horizontal dashed line from point C to point E represents the...? - CORRECT
ANSWER - Positive limit load factor.
