The purpose of the lead lag hinges on a three bladed, fully articulated rotor system is to
compensate for... correct answerscoriolis effect
The initial tendency of an aircraft to develop forces that further remove the aircraft from its
original position, when distributed from a condition of steady flight, is known as... correct
answersnegative static stability
negative static means it goes further from neutral
dynamic means it oscillates
positive means it returns to neutral
The angle of attack of a wing directly controls the... correct answersdistribution of positive and
negative pressure acting on the wing
In order to maintain level flight (laterally) as airspeed increases on climbout after takeoff in a
gyroplane, the pilot will need to increase... correct answerscyclic pressure to the right
Which is true concerning operation of a gyroplane?
1. like a heli, vertical decents to a safe landing are possible
2. altitude permitting, flying behind the power curve is not a problem
3. rotor RPM remains constant during changes in airspeed while descending correct answers2
A line drawn from the leading edge to the trailing edge of an airfoil and equidistant at all points
from the upper nad lower contours is called the... correct answersmean camber line
Proper mixture control and better economy in the operation of a fuel injected engine can be
achieved best by use of... correct answersan EGT indicator
If a pilot suspects that the engine (with a fixed pitch prop) is detonating during climbout after
takeoff, the initial corrective action would be to... correct answerslower the nose slightly to
increase airspeed
What can a pilot expect when landing at an airport located in the mountains? correct
answersHigher true airspeed and longer landing distance
the less dense air will cause a higher true airspeed for the same indicated airspeed
Radiation fog is most likely to cocur under what conditions? correct answersHigh humidity
during the early evening, cool cloudless night with light winds, and favorable topography
, You may anticipate fog when the temperture-dew point spread is... correct answers5 farenheight
or less and decreasing
What information is contained in a CONVECTIVE SIGMET in the conterminous United States?
correct answersTornadoes, embedded thunderstorms, and hail 3/4 inch or greater in diameter
also lines of thunderstorms
When using a VOT to check the accuracy of a VOR receiver with an RMI, what should the RMI
indicate if no error exists? correct answers180 TO
While maintaining a magnetic heading of 060 and a true airspeed of 130 knots, the 150 radial of
a VOR is crossed at 1137Z and the 140 radial at 1145Z. The approximate time and distance to
the station would be... correct answers48 mins and 104NM
Time to station = 60 x minutes between bearing changes / degree of bearing change
Distance to station = TAS x minutes between bearing changes / degree of bearing change
As standard operating practice, all inbound traffic to an airport without a control tower should
continusouly monitor the appropriate facility from a distance of... correct answers10 miles
Which is prohibited if the aircraft being used has not had a 100 hour inspection or annual
inspection within the preceding 100 hours of time in service?
1. giving flight instruction for hire
2. conducting any commercial operation
3. carrying passengers, either for hire or not for hire correct answers1
Authority for approval of a MEL must be obtianed from the... correct answersFAA district office

After being retested on Jan 13 and failing to meet standards again, when is your student eligible
to retest? correct answersJan 13
they can take a test again when they have received necessary training and endorsements
A recreation pilot certificate may be used for... correct answersairplanes, gyroplanes, and
helicopters
