The asymmetric blade effect on a single engine aircraft with a clockwise

rotating propeller:

• is also called the gyroscopic effect.

• produces left yaw.

• does not produce any yaw.

• produces right yaw.

Organisational threats in flight operations include:

• Delayed arrival, MEL, Load/trim sheet preparation error.

• Crew scheduling error, enroute thunderstorm, missed R/T call.

• Incorrect Checklist being used, incorrect flap selection speed, similar callsigns.

• Aircraft malfunction, wind shear, incorrect autopilot mode selection.

The critical angle of attack:

• decreases if the CG is moved aft.

• increases if the CG is moved forward.

• changes with an increase in gross weight.

• remains unchanged regardless of gross weight.

What can happen to the aircraft structure flying at a speed just

exceeding VA?

• It may suffer permanent deformation because the flight is performed at too large a

  dynamic pressure.

• It will collapse if a turn is made.

• It may suffer permanent deformation if the elevator is fully deflected upwards.

• It may break if the elevator is fully deflected upwards.

Stall protection system failure indications are:

• Audio visual warning indication at high indicated air speed.

• Stick shaker/stick pusher activating at low speed.

• Audio visual warning and/or control shaker/pusher activating at high speeds.

• Stall prevention devices are fail safe.

Nose high low speed upset recovery should include:

• Increase power or full power to prevent a stall.

• Lower the nose to prevent a stall.

• Correct the bank by using the ailerons and rudder pressure once you are in the level

  flight and at appropriate speed.

• All the above.

What is one of the most important aspects of the “backside of the power

5/5 curve”?

• The speed is unstable.

• The elevator must be pulled to lower the nose.

• The aircraft will not stall.

• The altitude cannot be maintained.

Load factor is:

• weight / lift

• wing loading

• lift / weight

• 1 / bank angle

If you determine that your aircraft is approaching stall, recovery actions

must include: (select correct options)

• Decrease AoA by reducing Pitch Attitude to a measured amount &

  simultaneously increasing power.

• Immediately get wings level.

• Maintain level attitude on the artificial horizon.

• Maintain coordinated flight by applying adequate amount of rudder.

• Maintain wings level once at appropriate speed.

The pilot's responsibility in preventing airplane upsets due to spatial

disorientation involves:

• Visual flying in all weather conditions.

• Cross referencing and monitoring of instruments especially in marginal weather.

• Concentrating mainly the artificial horizon/EADI only.

• Concentrating on performance instruments in all weather conditions.
