Which statement relates to Bernuolli’s principle?
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaaction
An additional upward force is generated as the lower surface of the wing deflects air downward
Air traveling faster over the curved upper surface of an airfoil causes lower pressure on the top surface
The acute angle A is the angle of
Incidence
Attack
Dihedral
An aircraft leaving the ground effect during takeoff will
Experience a reduction in ground friction and require a slight power reduction
Experience an increase in induced drag and a decrease in performance
Require a lower angle of attack to maintain the same lift coefficient
When taking off or landing at an airport where heavy aircraft are operating, one should be particularly alert to hazards of wingtip vortices because this turbulence tends to
Rise form a crossing runway into the takeoff or landing path
Rise into the traffic pattern area surrounding the airport
Sink into the flight path of aircraft operating below the aircraft generating the turbulence
During a spin to the left, which wing(s) is/are stalled
Both wings are stalled
Neither wing is stalled
Only the left wing is stalled
Why is frost considered a hazardous to flight?
Frost changes the basic aerodynamic shape of the airfoils, there by increasing lift
Frost slows the airflow over the airfoils, thereby increasing control effectiveness
Frost spoons the smooth flow of air over the wings, thereby decreasing lift capability
After practicing unusual attitudes, you notice the heading indicator is off by 110 degrees. The heading indicator can be reset by
pushing the cage nob
Pulling the cage nob
Leaving it alone, because it will be the exact same as the compass heading
What determines the longitudinal stability of an airplane
The location of the CG with respect to the center of lift
The effectiveness of the horizontal stabilizer, rudder, and rudder trim tab
The relationship of thrust and lift to weight and drag
In what flight condition are torque effects for pronounce in a single-engine airplane?
Low airspeed, high power, high angle of attack
Low airspeed, low power, low angle of attack
High airspeed, high power, high angle of attack
The left turning tendency of an airplane cause by P-factor is the result of the
Clockwise rotation of the engine and the propeller turning the airplane counterclockwise
Propeller blade descending on the right, propeller turning the light airplane counterclockwise
Gyroscopic forces applied to the rotating propeller blades acting 90 degrees in advance of the point the force was applied
The amount of excess load that can be imposed on the wing of an airplane depends upon the
Position of the CG
Speed of the airplane
Abruptness at which the load is applied
Which basic flight maneuver increases the load factor on an airplane as compared to straigh-and-level flight?
Climbs
Turns
Stalls
If an airplane weight 3,300 pounds, what approximate weight would the airplane structure be required to support during a 30 degrees banked turn while maintaining altitude?
1,200
3,100
3,960
What load factor would be created if positive 15 feet per second gusts were encountered at 120 mph?
2.8
3
2
A precaution for the operated of an engine equipped with a constant-speed propeller is to
Avoid high RPM setting with high manifold pressure
Avoid high manifold pressure settings with low RPM
Always use a rich mixture with high RPM settings
An electrical system failure (battery and alternator) occurs during flight, In this situation, you would
Experience avionics equipment failure
Probably experience failure of the engine ignition system, fuel gauges, aircraft lighting system, and avionics equipment
Probably experience engine failure due to the loss of the engine-driven fuel pump and also experience failure of the radio equipment, lights, and all instruments that require alternating current
To keep a battery charged, the alternator voltage output should be
Less than the battery voltage
Equal to the battery voltage
Higher than the battery voltage
When activated, an emergency locator transmitter (ELT) transmits on
118.0 and 118.8 MHz
121.5 and 243.0 MHz
123.0 and 119.0 MHz
When may an emergency locator transmitter (ELT) be tested?
Anytime
At 15 and 45 minutes past the hour
During the first 5 minutes after the hour
Unless each occupant is provided with supplemental oxygen, no persona may operate a civil aircraft of U.S registry above a maximum cabin pressure altitude of
12,500 feet MSL
14,000 feet MSL
15,000 feet MSL
In the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the north if
An aircraft is decelerated while on an east or west heading
A left turn is entered from a west heading
An aircraft is accelerated while on an east or west heading
What steps must be taken when flying with glass cockpits to ensure a safe fligh?
Use the moving map for primary means of navigation, use the MFD to check engine systems and weather, back up with supplementary forms of information
Regularly scans each item on the PFD, confirm on the MFD
Regularly scan both inside and outside, use all appropriate checklists, and cross-check with ther forms of information
A turn coordinator provides an indication of
Movement of the aircraft about the yaw and roll axes
Angle bank up to but not exceeding 30 degress
Attitude of aircraft with reference to the longitudinal axis
To receive accurate indications during flight from a heading indicator, the instrument must be
Set prior to flight on a known heading
Calibrated on a compass rose at a regular intervals
Periodically realigned with the magnetic compass as the gyro processes
During flight, when are the indications of a magnetic compass accurate?
Only in straight-and-level unaccelerated flight
As long as the airspeed is constant
During turns if the bank does not exceed 18 degrees
In the Northern Hemisphere, if an aircraft is accelerated or decelerated, the magnetic compass will normally indicate
A turn momentarily
Correctly when on a north or south heading
A turn toward the south
In the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate initially toward the east if
An aircraft is decelerated while on a south heading
An aircraft is accelerated while on a north heading
A left turn it entered from a north heading
A left turn is entered from a north heading
With the airplane loaded as follows, what action can be taken to balance the airplane? Front seat occupants 411 lb, Rear seat occupants 100lb, Main wing tanks 44 gal
Fill the auxiliary wing tanks
Add a 100 point weight to the baggage compartment
Transfer 10 gallons of fuel from the main tanks to the auxiliary tanks
