QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED
ANSWERS (UPDATED 2025)
d. Kinetic energy can be traded for potential energy, and potential energy can be traded
for kinetic energy - correct answers ✔✔Which of the following statements regarding
energy is true?
d. All of the above - correct answers ✔✔The objective in maneuvering the airplane is to
manage energy so that:
c. Drag increases because of increased induced drag. - correct answers ✔✔What is the
effect on total drag if airspeed slows below L/D Max?
b. Endurance - correct answers ✔✔A jet pilot flying at L/D Max will obtain best:
, a. Parasite - correct answers ✔✔When a jet aircraft is flown at the appropriate airspeed
for maximum range, which type of drag predominates?
d. All of the above - correct answers ✔✔While already at high speed, what happens if
Mach is allowed to increase?
c. A severe moment of "Mach tuck" - correct answers ✔✔What is the result of a shock-
induced separation of airflow occurring symmetrically near the wing root of a swept wing
aircraft?
a. The air temperature decreases. - correct answers ✔✔The speed of sound generally
decreases with increasing altitude. This occurs because:
c. The speed of an aircraft in which airflow over any part of the aircraft or structure first
reaches, but doesn't exceed Mach 1.0. - correct answers ✔✔Critical Mach number can
be defined as:
c. An active stability augmentation system / yaw damper. - correct answers ✔✔Stability
in the vertical axis tends to drive the sideslip angle toward zero. The most dynamic
stability about the vertical axis on modern jet transports is from:
b. Reduction in effectiveness of flaps. - correct answers ✔✔Swept wings cause a
significant:
d. All of the above - correct answers ✔✔Why is convergence of Stall AOA and Mmo
hazardous?
a. Greater than the airplane weight, and the amount is a function of bank angle. -
correct answers ✔✔To maintain altitude in a banked turn, the lift produced by the
airplane must be:
d. All of the above - correct answers ✔✔Excessive bank angles at high altitudes can be
hazardous because:
c. Increasing thrust to maximum available thrust and reducing bank angle while
accelerating to airspeed above L/D Max speed. In a thrust limited situation, exiting slow
flight will require an immediate descend as an aerodynamic stall is imminent. - correct
answers ✔✔When operating at constant speed with constant thrust setting at high
altitude (typically above FL250) in slow flight below L/D Max airspeed, any disturbance
causing a decrease in airspeed will result in a further decrease in airspeed unless thrust
in increased. High altitude recovery from slow flight while turning is best accomplished
by:
e. The lowest of the above listed altitudes. - correct answers ✔✔Maximum Altitude is
the highest altitude at which an airplane can be operated. Maximum Altitude for an
airplane is:
