Principles of Flight Final Practise Exam

To fly, aircraft must generate lift to oppose its?

• Inertia

• Thrust

• Weight

• Drag

As air passes over the top surface of a wing in normal flight, its speed will:

• Reduce Slightly

• Increase

• Reduce Considerably

• Remain Constant

To obtain the maximum drag from an aircraft's flaps, they should be set to?

• 40 degrees

• 30 degrees

• 90 degrees

• 10 degrees

Aircraft movements such as pitching, rolling and yawing are always described in relation to the?

• Ground

• Pilot

• Horizon

• Airflow

Which of these statements, about an aircraft in steady straight and level flight, is true?

• Thrust is equal to half of drag

• Thrust is equal to the drag

• Thrust is equal to four times the drag

• Thrust is equal to twice the drag

Which axis runs from nose to tail in an aircraft?

• Longitudinal

• Lateral

• Bilateral

• Normal

In steady straight and level flight at constant height and speed, the amount of lift produced by the aircraft must be:

• Equal to the aircraft's weight

• Greater than the aircraft's drag

• Greater than the aircraft's weight

• Equal to the aircraft's thrust

The point on a wing at which all the lift is said to act is called?

• Pressure point

• Static point

• Dynamic centre

• Centre of Pressure

If an aircraft's speed through the air is increased from 250 knots to 500 knots, what happens to the amount of lift produced?

• It is reduced to a quarter

• It is doubled

• It is increased by four times

• It remains the same

A pilot selects full flap when coming into land. This will?

• Reduce the angle of approach and improve forward vision

• Increase the angle of approach and improve forward vision

• Increase the angle of approach and increase the landing run

• Decrease the angle of approach and reduce the landing run
