• True

• False

Aircrafts have five corresponding ways in which they can turn.

• True

• False

The axis of motion include:

• • The long axis

  • The side axis

  • The straight axis

• • The longitudinal axis

  • The lateral axis

  • The vertical axis

• • The intrinsical axis

  • The predominant axis

  • The subdominant axis

• None of the above

When an airplane is in the air, it can move in any

direction.

• True

• False

Movement is centered around the airplane’s __________

• Middle aisle

• Cockpit

• Centre of Gravity

• Engine

An airplane’s center of gravity is also called ________

• The balance point.

• The center of lift

• The weight

• The total center

Where is the center of gravity located?

• All around the aircraft

• In the cockpit

• Near the engine

• Where the 3 axes meet

The axes are real visible lines running through the center

of gravity of the aircraft.

• True

• False

The longitudinal axis ____________

• Runs from wingtip to wingtip, through the center of gravity.

• Runs vertically through the center of gravity, at right angles to the other axes.

• Runs lengthwise through the fuselage, from the nose to the tail, and passes through the center of gravity.

• All of the above

The lateral axis _________

• Runs from wingtip to wingtip, through the center of gravity.

• Runs vertically through the center of gravity, at right angles to the other axes.

• Runs lengthwise through the fuselage, from the nose to the tail, and passes through the center of gravity.

• All of the above
