CHAPTER 10 STABILITY AND CONTROL (ATPL OXFORD) 1. An areophane which is inherently stable will: a. requires less effort to control. b. be difficult to stall. c. not spin. d. has a built-in tendency to return to its original state following the removal of any disturbing force - Correct answers d. has a built-in tendency to return to its original state following the removal of any disturbing force After a disturbance in pitch an aircraft oscillates in pitch with increasing amplitude. It is: a. statically and dynamically unstable. b. statically stable but dynamically unstable. c. statically unstable but dynamically stable. d. statically and dynamically stable. - Correct answers b. statically stable but dynamically unstable. Longitudinal stability is given by: a. the fin. b. the wing dihedral. c. the horizontal tailplane. d. the ailerons - Correct answers c. the horizontal tailplane. An aircraft is constructed with dihedral to provide: a. lateral stability about the longitudinal axis. b. longitudinal stability about the lateral axis. c. lateral stability about the normal axis.
