PRIVATE PILOT EXAM 2025 PRACTICE CURRENTLY
TESTING QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
What is one purpose of wing flaps? - To enable the pilot to make
steeper approaches to a landing without increasing the
airspeed.
variations in glide speed... - increase the airplane's rate of descent and decrease
gliding distance.
VFR approaches to land at night should be accomplished... - The same as
during daytime.
,When taxiing with strong quartering tailwinds, which aileron positions should be
used? - Aileron down on the side from which the wind is blowing.
Which aileron positions should a pilot generally use when taxiing in strong
quartering headwinds. - Aileron up on the side from which the wind is blowing.
Which wind condition would be most critical when taxiing a nosewheel equipped
high wing airplane? - Quartering tailwind.
When converting from true course to magnetic heading, a pilot should... -
Subtract westerly variation and add right wind correction angle.
Select the four flight fundamentals involved in maneuvering the
aircraft. - Straight and level flight, turns, climbs, and descents.
To minimize the side loads placed on the landing gear during touchdown, the
pilot should keep the... - Longitudinal axis of the aircraft parallel to the direction
of its motion.
,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. -
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 - A. Spoilers
Trim systems are designed to do what? - 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: - Lift, Weight, Thrust, & Drag
When are the four forces that act on an airplane in equilibrium? - During
unaccelerated flight.
What is the relationship of lift, drag, thrust, and weight when the airplane is in
straight-and-level flight? - Lift equals weight.
Thrust equals drag.
Which statement relates to Bernoulli's principle? - 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... - between the wing chord line
and the relative wind.
, Angle of attack is defined as the chord line of an airfoil and the... - Direction of
the relative wind.
The angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls will... - Remain the same
regardless of gross weight.
As altitude increases, the indicated airspeed at which a given airplane stalls in a
particular configuration will... - Remain the same regardless of altitude.
In what flight condition must an aircraft be placed in order to spin? - Stalled.
During a spin to the left, which wing(s) is/are stalled? - Both wings are stalled.
How will frost on the wings of an airplane affect takeoff performance? - Frost will
disrupt the smooth flow of air over the wing, adversely affecting its lifting
capability.
Why is frost considered hazardous to flight? - Frost spoils the smooth
flow of air over the wings, thereby decreasing lifting capability.
How does frost affect the lifting surfaces of an airplane on takeoff? - Frost my
prevent the airplane from becoming airborne at normal takeoff speed.
What is ground effect? - The result of inference of the surface of the earth with
the airflow patterns about an airplane.
Floating caused by the phenomenon of ground effect will be most realized
during an approach to land when at... - Less than the length of the wingspan
above the surface.
