a)

True

b)

False

11.

To maintain a constant radius about a point on the ground. (Assume there is wind)

a)

AoB must not change

b)

AoB will have to vary throughout the turn

c)

360° per/minutes

d)

3° per/second

13.

An aircraft in a climbing turn will:

(select all that apply)

a)

Over bank due to the inner wing having a greater AoA

b)

Have a reduced rate of climb

c)

Under bank due to the inner wing having a greater AoA

d)

Over bank due to the out wing having a greater AoA

14.

For a given AoB an aircraft in a descending turn will:

(Select all the apply)

a)

Have a decreased rate of descent

b)

Have an increased rate of descent

c)

Over bank because the outer wing is traveling faster

d)
