Principles of Flight

What forces act on a plane in flight?

• Lift, Weight, Thrust, Drag
• Lift, Gravity, Power, Yaw
• Lift, Power
• Weight, Lift

Airplane classifications include:

• Balloons, Planes and Drones
• Lighter Than Air, Gliders, and parachutes
• Light Sport and Recreational Planes
• Gliders, Lighter Than Air, Airplanes and Rotorcraft

Aircraft Structure includes:

• Ribs, Wheels and Cockpit
• Instruments and Radios
• Engines, Carbs and De-Icing Equipment
• Wings, Fuselage, Empennage, Powerplant and Landing Gear

Aircraft controls include:

• Engine Power and Brakes
• Steering Wheel and Gas Pedal
• Mixture, Throttle, Prop, Carb Heat and Magnetos
• Air Traffic Control and FAA

What are performance specs?

• Take off distance, Maximum Speed and Stall Speed
• Gas Mileage and Horsepower
• Top Speed and G's
• Technical data that you don't really need

What does an altimeter do?

• Tells the speed 
• Gives distance flown
• Altitude above ground level
• Altitude above sea level

What does an ASI do?

• Shows calibrated air speed
• Shows indicated air speed, stall speed and never exceed speed
• It is an aircraft speedometer
• I don't know

What does a Turn Coordinator do?

• Shows the turn rate and slip or skid
• Follow the autopilot
• Shows a standard rate turn
• Sets a standard rate turn

What is a Vertical Speed Indicator?

• It is a speedometer
• Shows how fast you are going up, down or level flight
• Shows how many G's you are flying
• Shows missile speed

What is a Heading Indicator?

• Shows you the way to the airport
• Shows the direction the aircraft is pointing
• Showing the bearing of the aircraft
• I don't know
