UPDATED ACTUAL Exam Questions and
CORRECT Answers
The four forces acting on an airplane in flight are - CORRECT ANSWER - Lift, Weight,
Thrust, and Drag
When are the four forces that act on an airplane ini Equilibrium? - CORRECT ANSWER -
Durning unaccelerated flight
What is the relationship of lift, drag, thrust, and weight when the airplane is in straight-and-level
flight? - CORRECT ANSWER - Lift=Weight and Thrust=Drag
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 acute angle A is the angle of - CORRECT ANSWER - attack
The term "Angle of Attack" is defined as the angle between the - CORRECT ANSWER -
chord line of the wing and the relative wind
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
The angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls will - CORRECT ANSWER - remain
the same regardless of gross weight
The angle between the chord line of an airfoil and the relative wind is known as the angle of -
CORRECT ANSWER - attack
, In what flight condition must an aircraft be placed in order to spin? - CORRECT
ANSWER - Stalled
During a spin to the left, which wing(s) is/are stalled? - CORRECT ANSWER - Both
wings are stalled
How will frost on the wings of an airplane affect takeoff performance? - CORRECT
ANSWER - Frost will disrupt the smooth flow of the air over the wing, adversely affecting
its lifting capability
Why is frost considered hazardous to flight? - CORRECT ANSWER - Frost spoils the
smooth flow of air over the wings, thereby decreasing lifting capability.
How does frost affect the lifting surfaces of an airplane on takeoff? - CORRECT
ANSWER - Frost may prevent the airplane from becoming airborne at normal takeoff
speed.
One of the main functions of flaps during approach and landing is to - CORRECT
ANSWER - Increase the angle of descent without increasing the airspeed
What is one purpose of wing flaps? - CORRECT ANSWER - To enable the pilot to make
steeper approaches to a landing without increasing the airspeed.
An airplane said to be inherently stable will - CORRECT ANSWER - require less effort to
control
What determines the longitudinal stability of an airplane - CORRECT ANSWER - The
location of the CG with respect to the center of lift
Loading an airplane to the most aft CG will cause the airplane to be - CORRECT
ANSWER - less stable at all speeds
