Which statement relates to Bernuolli’s principle?

6.

Why is frost considered a hazardous to flight?

a)

Frost changes the basic aerodynamic shape of the airfoils, there by increasing lift

b)

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

7.

Leaving it alone, because it will be the exact same as the compass heading

8.

What determines the longitudinal stability of an airplane

High airspeed, high power, high angle of attack

10.

The left turning tendency of an airplane cause by P-factor is the result of the

a)
