Which of the following does NOT have a positive effect on lateral stability?

Anhedral
In the lift formula (L=CL1/2pV2s), the term '1/2pV2' can be taken to stand for"
Indicated airspeed
Static pressure
True airspeed
Angle of Attack
Which of the following statements correctly describes adverse yaw?
Yaw in the same direction of the turn, which is a secondary effect of roll
The yaw which is required to align the aircraft with the runway just before touchdown
The yaw resulting from asymmetric thrust after failure of a wing mounted engine
Yaw in the opposite direction direction of turn, which is caused by aileron drag.
The airspeed for the maximum rate of climb (Vy) is the airspeed at which:
There is the greatest excess thrust available over drag
The aeroplane can just be maintained safely in the climb with maximum power set
The best climb gradient can be maintained
There is the greatest excess of power available over power required.
Two identical aircraft are turning at the same IAS and at 30 degrees AoB, but one aircraft is at a much higher altitude than the other. Which of the following statements is correct?
Both aircraft have the same rate and radius of turn
The higher aircraft has a higher rate of turn, and is turning on a greater radius
The high aircraft has a lower rate of turn, and is turning on a greater radius
The high aircraft has a higher rate of turn, and is turning in a smaller radius

Your A/C has a RPM of 2500 and a manifold pressure of 30Hg. You wish to set 2300 RPM and 28 Hg the correct sequence to achieve this would be?
Decrease throttle then decrease RPM
Decrease RPM then decrease manifold pressure
It doesn't matter either way
Both at the same time
In a venturi, increase in speed will cause
Decrease in Dynamic pressure and an increase in static pressure

Increase in dynamic pressure and decrease in static pressure
What is lateral stability?
Stability about the lateral axis
Stability about the longitudinal axis
Stability about the normal axis
Stability in pitch
The force parallel to the plane of rotation is:
Drag
Total reaction
Propeller torque
TAS
A larger runway is required when you come in to land at a faster airspeed because of:
Inertia
Momentum
Reduced braking effectiveness
Aquaplaning
When taxiing into a wind coming from your front left you should...
Turn the yoke away from wind and have the control column forward
Turn the yoke into wind and have the control column forward
Turn the yoke away from wind and have the control column back or neutral.
Turn the yoke into wind and have the control column back or neutral.
Dutch Roll is caused by
Strong directional stability and weaker lateral stability
Strong longitudinal stability and weaker lateral stability
Strong directional stability and weaker dynamic stability
Strong lateral stability and weaker directional stability

The COP moves forward and the separation point moves aft
The COP moves aft and the separation point moves forward
The COP moves forward and the separation point moves forward
The COP moves aft and the separation point moves aft
What effect does loading an aeroplane to the most aft center of gravity have on aircraft stability?
The aircraft will be less stable at slow speeds.
The aircraft will be less stable at high speed, but more stable at slow speed.
The aircraft will be more stable at all speeds.
The aircraft will be less stable at all speeds.
