What does the term “yaw” mean?
To roll along the longitudinal axis
The nose of the aircraft moves up and down
To move around the lateral axis
To move from side to side
What is used to control the yaw of the aircraft?
the ailerons
the elevators
the rudder
the design of the wings
What is used to control the pitch of the aircraft?
the ailerons
the elevators
the rudder
the design of the wings
Which of these is not part of the primary flight control systems?
Flaps
Ailerons
Elevator
Rudder
What is used to control the ailerons from the cockpit?
tabs
spoiler
yoke
elevator
What is used to counteract adverse yaw?
The rudder
The ailerons
The flaps
The elevator
Which aileron system will deflect the rudder automatically when the ailerons are used?
Differential ailerons
Coupled ailerons
Frise-type ailerons
Flaperons
What is the elevator attached to?
The rudder
The aileron system
The vertical stabilizer
The horizontal stabilizer
When the yoke is pushed forward, which way does the elevator shift?
left
right
up
down
What is the rudder controlled by in the cockpit?
Yoke
Foot pedals
Stabilizer button
Tabs
Which of these are included in secondary flight control systems?
Wing flaps, leading edge devices, spoilers, and trim systems
Leading edge devices, wing flaps, elevator, and trim systems
Wing flaps, the rudder, spoilers, and trim system
Leading edge devices, spoilers, the yoke, and trim systems
What is the most common device on an aircraft to increase lift called?
Ground-adjustable tabs
Spoilers
Flaps
Trim tabs
How many sections of flaps do large jets have that can be used during flight?
2
3
5
1
Which of these is not a leading edge device?
Leading edge slats
flaps
Movable slats
Leading edge cuffs
What are leading edge cuffs used for?
They direct airflow to the upper part of the wing and thus increase lift.
They cause air below the wing to flow over the upper surface of the wing, which increases lift.
They will create more lift than drag, which can reduce nose-down pitching.
They create a more aerodynamic surface and deflect the airflow to the upper surface of the wing.
What do spoilers do for an aircraft?
Increase the AOA of the aircraft
Increase lift during takeoff
Create drag to slow down the aircraft
Increase lift to speed up the aircraft
What is the purpose of balance tabs?
To move the tail or nose of the aircraft up and down
To counterbalance air pressure, giving pilots more control
To help prevent the pilot from overcontrolling the pitch
To apply force on the rudder
Which type of trim system cannot be adjusted during flight?
Trim tabs
Balance tabs
Antiservo tabs
Ground adjustable tabs
How can a pilot file a flight plan with air traffic control?
A written document
An electronic document
Verbally
All of the above
What is the stage of flight that is the transition from taxiing to flying called?
Climb
Cruise
Takeoff
Flight Planning
Which of these reduces the ground speed needed for takeoff?
A tailwind
A headwind
The speed of the climb
The length of time spent taxiing
Which phase is most fuel efficient for the aircraft?
Descent
Taxiing
Climb
Cruise
What does the pilot do after the aircraft is safely on the ground?
Use the engines to reverse thrust and slow the aircraft
Use the flaps to lower the thrust of the aircraft
Hit the gas pedals to taxi the aircraft to its final destination
Turn off the control systems because the flight is over
Adverse yaw is a phenomenon that occurs when:
the nose of the aircraft yaws in the opposite direction of a turn due to differential drag.
the aircraft gains altitude rapidly during a turn.
the aircraft experiences turbulence at high speeds.
the nose of the aircraft yaws in the same direction as a turn due to increased lift.
The seven phases of a controlled flight are:
Pre-flight, Taxi, Takeoff, Climb, Cruise, Descent, Landing
Taxi, Takeoff, Hover, Cruise, Descent, Approach, Landing
Pre-flight, Taxi, Takeoff, Cruise, Descent, Hover, Landing
Pre-flight, Takeoff, Climb, Cruise, Descent, Hover, Landing
When you roll to the right, the aircraft will yaw to the right.
True
False
Some aircrafts do not have an elevator.
True
False
The angle of the flaps will not impact the landing point, only the approach angle.
True
False
Descent is the most fuel-efficient phase for the aircraft.
True
False
During the descent phase, the engine is at a lower power setting, but it may be increased during final approach.
True
False
