CAAP PPL EXAM STUDY AIRCRAFT
GENERAL KNOWLEDGE (37)
(1) Where may an Aircraft operating limitation be found?
-- In the current FAA approved flight manual, approved manual, approved manual
material marking and placards, or any combination there therefore.
(2) Excessively high engine temperature will?
-- Cause loss of power excessive oil consumption an possible permanent internal
engine damage.
(3) The basic purpose of adjusting the fuel/air mixture at altitude is to?
-- Decrease the fuel flow in order to compensate for decreased IR density.
(4) What type of fuel can be substitute for an aircraft if the recommended octane is
not available?
-- The next higher aviation gas.
(5) Filling the fuel tank after the last flight of the day is considered a good operation
procedure
because this will?
-- Prevent moisture condensation by eliminating airspace in the tanks.
(6) What action can a pilot take to aid in cooling an engine that is overheating during
a climb?
-- Reduce rate of climb and increase airspeed.
(7) How is engine operation controlled on an engine equipped with a constant
speed propeller?
-- The throttle controls power output as registered on the manifold pressure gauge
and the propeller
,control regulate engine RPM.
(8) What is an advantage of constant air - propeller?
-- Permits the pilot to select the blade angle for the most efficient performance.
(9) A precaution for the operation of n engine equipped with a constant speed
propeller is to?
-- Avoid high manifold pressure setting with low RPM.
(10) What should be the first action after starting the a/c engine?
-- Adjust for proper rpm and check for desired indication on the engine gauges.
(11) Excessively high temperature, either in the air or on the ground will?
-- Cause loss of power, excessive oil consumption and possible permanent internal
engine damage.
(12) If the PITOT tube and outside static vents become clogged which instruments
would be affected?
-- The altimeter, airspeed indicator, and vertical speed indicator.
(13) What does the red line on the indicator represents?
-- Never-Exceed-Speed.
(14) What is an important airspeed limitation that is not color coded on airspeed
indicators?
-- Maneuvering speed -104.
(15) The angular difference between true north and magnetic north is?
-- Magnetic variation.
(16) When are the 4 forces that act on an airplane in equilibrium?
, -- During UN accelerated flight.
(17) The term angle of attack is defined as the angle?
-- Between the wing chord line and the relative wind.
18) One of the main functions of flaps during approach and landing is to?
-- Increase the angle of descent without increasing the airspeed.
(19) What is one purpose of wing flaps?
-- To enable the pilot to make steeper approaches to a landing without increasing
the airspeed.
20) The angle of attack at which an airplane wings stall will?
-- Remain the same regardless of gross weight.
(21) The angle between the chord line of an airfoil and the relative wind is known as
the angle of?
-- Angle of attack.
(22) An airplane said to be inherently stable will?
-- Requires less effort to control.
(23) What causes n airplane (except a t-tail) to pitch nose down when power is
reduced are not adjusted?
-- The downwash on the elevators from the propeller slipstream is reduced and
elevators effectiveness is reduced.
(24) What does p factor causes the airplane to yaw to the left?
-- With an high angle of attack.
