PRIVATE PILOT FINAL B STUDY
MATERIAL 2026 TESTED QUESTIONS
AND ACCURATE SOLUTIONS
◉ The four forces acting on an airplane in flight are
Answer: Lift
Weight
Thrust
Drag
◉ 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 two parts of the wing which maneuver the aircraft are the
Answer: Flaps from the wing root to the midpoint and the ailerons from
the midpoint to the wingtip
◉ When are the four forces that act on an airplane in equilibrium?
Answer: During unaccelerated flight
◉ Select the four flight fundamentals involved in maneuvering an
aircraft
Answer: Aircraft power, pitch, bank, and trim
,◉ The ______ controls movement about the pitch axis, the ______
controls the movement about the roll axis, and the ______ controls the
movement about the yaw axis.
Answer: Elevator
Aileron
Rudder
◉ When executing an emergency approach to land in a single-engine
airplane, it is important to maintain a constant glide speed because
variations in glide speed
Answer: nullify all attempts at accuracy in judgment of gliding distance
and landing spot.
◉ What is the relationship of lift, drag, thrust, and weight when the
airplane is in straight-and-level flight?
Answer: Lift equals weight and thrust equals drag
◉ Form drag is
Answer: created by any structure which protrudes into the relative wind
(Wing strut or landing gear)
◉ An airplane said to be inherently stable will
Answer: require less effort to control
, ◉ What causes an airplane (except T-tail) to pitch nosedown when
power is reduced and controls aren't adjusted?
Answer: The downwash on the elevators from the propeller slipstream is
reduced and elevator effectiveness is reduced
◉ What is the purpose of the rudder on an airplane?
Answer: To control yaw
◉ Which basic flight maneuver increases the load factor on an airplane
as compared to straight-and-level flight?
Answer: Turns
◉ One of the main functions of flaps on a wing is to
Answer: mitigate a stall by increasing the camber of the wing
◉ Moving the weight of an airplane to the most aft CG will cause the
airplane to be
Answer: less stable at all speeds
◉ 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
