Lesson 13: Stage 1 Exam Revision

According to the markings on the accompanying airspeed indicators, what is the maximum speed with flaps fully extended?

• (1) 91 knots; (2) 91 knots.

• (1) 91 knots; (2) 100 knots.

• (1) 129 knots; (2) 91 knots.

Assume that you land at an airport with your altimeter set to 29.92" Hg., forgetting to set it to the current setting of 30.00" Hg. What will the altimeter read if the field elevation is 2,000 feet MSL?

• 1,920 feet MSL.

• 2,080 feet MSL.

• 2,800 feet MSL.

The turn coordinator provides a direct indication of what?

• Rate of turn.

• Angle of bank.

• Pitch attitude, as well as rates of roll and turn.

Which V-speed represents maneuvering speed?

• V_A

• V_LO

• V_NE

Select the true statement regarding the flight instruments?

• The attitude indicator reflects the airplane's movement about the lateral and vertical axes.

• The heading indicator is a gyroscopic instrument that you must align with the magnetic compass.

• The vertical speed indicator uses pitot pressure to display a rate of climb or descent in fee per minute.

Select the true statement regarding integrated flight displays.

• The attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) provides attitude, heading, rate of turn, and slip/skid information.

• The air data computer (ADC) uses pressure and temperature inputs to determine the readings for the attitude indicator, altimeter, and vertical speed indicator.

• The attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) uses pressure and temperature inputs to determine the readings for the airspeed incicator, altimeter, and vertical speed indicator.

Select the true statement regarding the creation of lift.

• Lowering the flaps decreases the angle of attack, which decreases lift.

• Increasing speed while maintaining a constant angle of attack increases drag and decreases lift.

• When speed decreases, you must increase the angle of attack to maintain the same amount of lift.

Select the true statement regarding stalls.

• The critical angle of attack varies with airspeed, flight attitude, and weight.

• For a given airplane, a stall always occurs at the same airspeed, regardless of angle-of-attack, flight attitude, or weight.

• For a given airplane, a stall always occurs at the same angle of attack, regardless of airspeed, flight attitude, or weight.

How does extending the wing flaps affect lift and drag?

• Increases both lift and drag.

• Increases lift and decreases drag.

• Decreases lift and increases drag.

What are three forms of parasite drag?

• Skin friction drag, induced drag and applied drag.

• Form drag, interference drag and skin friction drag.

• Interference drag, effective drag and component drag.
