KING SCHOOLS – AERODYNAMICS
EXAM QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS
After take-off, which airspeed would the pilot use to gain the most altitude in a given
period of time? - ANSWER-ⱽʸ
What causes an airplane to pitch nose down when power is reduced and controls
are not adjusted? - ANSWER-The downwash on the elevators from the propeller
slipstream is reduced and elevator effectiveness is reduced.
What is one purpose of wing flaps? - ANSWER-To enable the pilot to make steeper
approaches to a landing without increasing the airspeed.
Upon encountering severe turbulence, which flight condition should the pilot attempt
to maintain? - ANSWER-Level flight attitude
Changes in the center of pressure of a wing affect the aircraft's? - ANSWER-
Aerodynamic balance and controllability
Loading an airplane to the most aft CG will cause the airplane to be...? - ANSWER-
Less stable at all speeds.
When landing behind a large aircraft, which procedure should be followed for vortex
avoidance? - ANSWER-Stay above its final approach flightpath all the way to
touchdown.
If an airplane weighs 3,300 pounds, what approximate weight would the airplane
structure be required to support during a 30° banked turn while maintaining altitude?
- ANSWER-3,960 pounds
What is the caution range of the airplane? - ANSWER-165 to 208 knots

What force makes an airplane turn? - ANSWER-The horizontal component of lift.
What is the maximum flaps-extended speed? - ANSWER-100 KTS
What is ground effect? - ANSWER-The result of the interference of the surface of the
Earth with the airflow patterns about an airplane.
Which color identifies the power-off stalling speed in a specified configuration? -
ANSWER-Lower limit of the green arc.
Ground effect is most likely to result in which problem? - ANSWER-Becoming
airborne before reaching recommended takeoff speed.

The maximum speed at which the airplane can be operated in smooth air is? -
ANSWER-208 KTS
Which basic flight maneuver increases the load factor on an airplane as compared to
straight-and-level flight? - ANSWER-Turns
When landing behind a large aircraft, the pilot should avoid wake turbulence by
staying...? - ANSWER-Above the large aircraft's final approach path and landing
beyond the large aircraft's touchdown point.
The speed at which a single flight control can be moved, one time, to its full
deflection without risk of damage to he aircraft is? - ANSWER-Maneuvering speed
What does the vertical line connection points E and F represent on the airspeed
indicator? - ANSWER-The red line.
In what flight condition is torque effect the greatest in a single-engine airplane? -
ANSWER-Low airspeed, high power, high angle of attack,
An airplane said to be inherently stable will...? - ANSWER-Require less effort to
control.
The amount of excess load that can be imposed on the wing of an airplane depends
upon the...? - ANSWER-Speed of the airplane.
As altitude increases, the indicated airspeed at which a given airplane stalls in a
particular configuration will...? - ANSWER-Remain the same regardless of altitude.
What is the angle of bank after which the load factor notably increases? - ANSWER-
45
Most training airplanes are designed so that the wing stall begins...? - ANSWER-At
the wing root outward to the wing tip.
How does frost affect the lifting surfaces of an airplane on takeoff? - ANSWER-Frost
may prevent the airplane from becoming airborne at normal takeoff speed.
If an airplane weighs 2,300 pounds, what approximate weight would the airplane
structure be required to support a 60° banked turn while maintaining altitude? -
ANSWER-4,600 pounds
How does wake turbulence vortex circulate around each wingtip? - ANSWER-
Outward, upward, and around each tip.
