,The elevator controls movement around which axis? -
....ANSWER ...-Lateral.
Which statement is true concerning primary flight controls?
A. The effectiveness of each control surface increases with speed
because there is more flow over them
B. Only when all three primary flight controls move in sequence do the
airflow and pressure distribution change over and around the airfoil.
C. Primary flight controls include ailerons, rudder, elevator, and trim
systems - ....ANSWER ...-A. The effectiveness of each control
surface increases with speed because there is more flow over them.
Which of the following is true concerning flaps?
A. Flaps are attached to the leading edge of the wing and are used to
increase wing lift.
B. Flaps allow an increase in the angle of descent without increasing
airspeed.

,C. Flaps are high drag devices deployed from the wings to reduce lift. -
....ANSWER ...-B. Flaps allow and increase in the angle of descent
without increasing airspeed.
Which device is a secondary flight control?
A. Spoilers
B. Ailerons
C. Stabilators - ....ANSWER ...-A. Spoilers
Trim systems are designed to do what? - ....ANSWER ...-They
relieve the pilot of the need to maintain constant back pressure on the
flight controls.
The four forces acting on an airplane in flight are: -
....ANSWER ...-Lift, Weight, Thrust, & Drag
When are the four forces that act on an airplane in equilibrium? -
....ANSWER ...-During unaccelerated flight.

, What is the relationship of lift, drag, thrust, and weight when the
airplane is in straight-and-level flight? - ....ANSWER ...-Lift equals
weight.
Thrust equals drag.
Which statement relates to Bernoulli's principle? - ....ANSWER ...-
Air traveling faster over the curve upper surface of an airfoil causes
lower pressure on the top surface.
The term "angle of attack" is defined as the angle... -
....ANSWER ...-between the wing chord line and the relative wind.
Angle of attack is defined as the chord line of an airfoil and the... -
....ANSWER ...-Direction of the relative wind.
The angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls will... -
....ANSWER ...-Remain the same regardless of gross weight.
As altitude increases, the indicated airspeed at which a given airplane
stalls in a particular configuration will... - ....ANSWER ...-Remain
the same regardless of altitude.
