KING SCHOOL FINAL EXAM SET
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
What must a pilot be aware of as a result of ground effect? - ANSWER-induced drag
decreases, therefore, any excess speed at the point of flare may cause considerable
floating
in what flight condition is torque effect the greatest in a single engine airplane? -
ANSWER-low airspeed, high power, high angle of attack
floating caused by the phenomenon of ground effect will be most realized during an
approach to land when at - ANSWER-less than the length of the wingspan above the
surface
the greatest vortex strength occurs when the generating aircraft is - ANSWER-
heavy, clean, and slowo n
one of the main functions of flaps during approach and landing is to - ANSWER-
increase the angle of decent without increasing the airspeed
which would provide the greatest gain in altitude in the shortest distance during climb
after takeoff? - ANSWER-Vx
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
during an approach to a stall, an increased load factor will cause the airplane to -
ANSWER-stall at a higher airspeed
why is frost considered hazardous to flight? - ANSWER-frost spoils the smooth flow
of air over the wings, thereby decreasing lifting capability
the four forces acting on an airplane in flight are - ANSWER-lift, weight, thrust and
drag
when does p factor cause the airplane to yaw to the left? - ANSWER-when at high
angles of attack
during a spin to the left, which wing(s) is/are stalled? - ANSWER-both wings are
stalled
How will frost on the wings of an airplane affect takeoff performance? - ANSWER-
frost will disrupt the smooth flow of air over the wing, adversely affecting its lifting
capability
Wingtip vortices created by large aircraft tend to - ANSWER-sink below the aircraft
generating turbulence
