The term "angle of attack" is defined as the angle - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Between
the wing chord line and the relative wind.
The angle between the chord line of an airfoil and the relative wind is
known as the angle of. - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Attack
Which statement relates to Bernoulli's principle? - 🧠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 - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Lift,
weight, thrust and drag
When are the four forces that act on an airplane in equilibrium? -
🧠ANSWER ✔✔During unaccelerated flight

,An airplane said to be inherently stable will - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Require less
effort to control
What determines the longitudinal stability of an airplane? - 🧠ANSWER
✔✔The location of the CG with respect to the center of lift
What causes an airplane (except a T-tail) to pitch nosedown when power is
reduced and controls are not adjusted? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The downwash on
the elevators from the propeller slipstream is reduced and elevator
effectiveness is reduced
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 - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Difficulty in
recovering from a stalled condition.
Loading an airplane to the most aft CG will cause the airplane to be -
🧠ANSWER ✔✔Less stable at all speeds
Changes in the center of pressure of a wing affect the aircraft's -
🧠ANSWER ✔✔Aerodynamic balance and controllability

,What force makes an airplane turn? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The horizontal
component of lift
During an approach to a stall, an increased load factor will cause the
airplane to - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Stall at a higher airspeed
What four flight fundamentals are involved in maneuvering an aircraft? -
🧠ANSWER ✔✔Straight and level flight, turns, climbs, and descents
In flying the rectangular course when would the aircraft be turned less than
90 degrees? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Corners 1 & 4
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 -
🧠ANSWER ✔✔4-5-6 because the bank is increased too slowly during the
latter part of the turn
If an emergency situation requires a downwind landing, pilots should
expect a faster - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Groundspeed at touchdown, a longer
ground roll, and the likelihood of overshooting the desired touchdown point.

, As altitude increases, the indicated airspeed at which a given airplane stalls
in a particular configuration will - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔remain the same
regardless of altitude.
In what flight condition must an aircraft be placed in order to spin -
🧠ANSWER ✔✔Stalled
During a spin to the left, which wing(s) is/are stalled - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Both
wings are stalled
The angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls will - 🧠ANSWER
✔✔Remain the same regardless of gross weight
One of the main functions of flaps during approach and landing is to -
🧠ANSWER ✔✔Increase the angle of descent without increasing the
airspeed
What is one purpose of wing flaps? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔To enable the pilot to
make steeper approaches to a landing without increasing the airspeed.
Ground effect is most likely to result in which problem? - 🧠ANSWER
✔✔Becoming airborne before reaching the recommended takeoff speed
