(C) Chemical energy stays above certain thresholds (not running out of fuel)
(D) All of the above
(C) Drag increses because of increased induced drag - correct answers ✔✔What is the
effect on total drag is airspeed slows below L/D Max?

(B) Endurance - correct answers ✔✔A jet pilot flying at L/D Max is obtain best:
(A) Range
(B) Endurance
(C) Ride Quality
(A) Parasite - correct answers ✔✔When a jet aircraft is flown at the appropriate
airspeed for maximum range, which type of drag predominates?
(A) Parasite
(B) Induced
(C) Each type of drag contributes equally
(D) All of the above - correct answers ✔✔While already at high speed, what happens if
Mach is allowed to increase?
(A) Airflow over parts of the airplane begin to exceed the speed of sound
(B) Shock waves can cause local airflow separation
(C) Characteristics such as pitch-up, pitch-down, or buffeting may occur.
(D) All of the above
(C) A severe moment or "Mach Tuck - correct answers ✔✔What is the result of a shock-
induced separation of airflow occurring symmetrically near the wing root of a swept wing
aircraft?
(A) A high-speed stall and sudden pitch-up
(B) Severe porpoising.
(C) A severe moment or "Mach Tuck
, (A) The air temperature decreases. - correct answers ✔✔The speed of sound generally
decreases with increasing altitude. This occurs because:
(A) The air temperature decreases.
(B) The air pressure decreases.
(C) The composition of the air changes.
(C) The speed of an aicraft in which airflow over any part of the aircraft or structure first
reaches, but doesn't exceed, Mach 1.0. - correct answers ✔✔Critical Mach number can
be defined as:
(A) The speed at which the aircraft is traveling faster than sound.
(B) The maximum Mach number at which an aircraft may be safely operated.
(C) The speed of an aicraft in which airflow over any part of the aircraft or structure first
reaches, but doesn't exceed, Mach 1.0.
(C) An active stability augmentation system/yaw damper - correct answers ✔✔Stability
in the vertical axis tends to drive the sideslip angle toward zero. The most dynamic
stability about the vertical axis on modern jet transports is from:
(A) The vertical fin
(B) The rudder
(C) An active stability augmentation system/yaw damper
(D) Pilot roll input
(B) Reduction in effectiveness of flaps - correct answers ✔✔Swept wings cause a
significant:
(A) increase in effectiveness of flaps.
(B) Reduction in effectiveness of flaps
(C) flap actuation reliability issue
(D) All of the above - correct answers ✔✔Why is convergence of Stall AOA and MMO
hazardous?
(A) Any decrease in airspeed will cause the aircraft to buffet and potentially stall
(B) Any increase in airspeed will cause the aircraft to buffet and potentially cause Mach
Tuck
(C) Airspeed changes may occur due to environmental factors, without pilot input.
(D) All of the above
(A) Greater than the airplane weight, and the amount is a function of bank angle -
correct answers ✔✔To maintain altitude in a banked turn, the lift produced by an
airplane must be:
(A) Greater than the airplane weight, and the amount is a function of bank angle
