(Refer to Figure 2.) If an airplane weighs 3,300 pounds, what approximate weight would the airplane structure be required to support during a 30° banked turn while maintaining altitude?

• 3,960 pounds.

• 3,100 pounds.

• 1,200 pounds.

Select the four flight fundamentals involved in maneuvering an aircraft.

• starting, taxiing, takeoff, landing

• straight-and-level flight, climbs, turns, decends

• aircraft power, pitch, bank, trim

The amount of excess load that can be imposed on the wing of an airplane depends upon the

• position of the CG

• abruptness at which load is applied

• speed of aircraft

An airplane said to be inherently stable will

• require less effort to control.

• be difficult to stall.

• not spin.

The angle between the chord line of an airfoil and the relative wind is known as the angle of

• lift.

• incidence.

• attack.

(Refer to figure 62.) In flying the rectangular course, when would the aircraft be turned less than 90°?

• Corners 1 and 4.

• Corners 1 and 2.

• Corners 2 and 4.

During a spin to the left, which wing(s) is/are stalled?

• Only the left wing is stalled.

• Both wings are stalled.

• Neither wing is stalled.

(Refer to Figure 1.) The acute angle A is the angle of

• incidence.

• attack.

• dihedral.

If an emergency situation requires a downwind landing, pilots should expect a faster

• airspeed at touchdown, a longer ground roll, and better control throughout the landing roll.

• groundspeed at touchdown, a shorter ground roll, and the likelihood of undershooting the desired touchdown point.

• groundspeed at touchdown, a longer ground roll, and the likelihood of overshooting the desired touchdown point.

During an approach to a stall, an increased load factor will cause the airplane to

• stall at a higher airspeed.

• be more difficult to control.

• have a tendency to spin.
