34.Which is true about your approach after an engine failure?
flying upwind increases glide distance and flying downwind decreases glide distance.
a stabilized approach at best glide speed provides the least drag and maximum gliding distance.
flying at minimum sink speed provides the same gliding distance as flying at best glide speed.
large pitch changes increase glide distance if best glide speed is maintained.
35. When executing an emergency approach to land in a single-engine airplane, it is important to maintain a constant glide speed because variations in glide speed will
A. increase the chances of shock cooling the engine.
B. assure the proper descent angle is maintained until entering the flare.
C. nullify all attempts at accuracy in judgment of gliding distance and landing spot.
D. reduce the effectiveness of flaps during the final approach.
40. Which basic flight maneuver increases the load factor on an airplane as compared to straight-and-level flight?
A. climbs.
B. turns.
C. stalls.
D. descents.
41. When practicing a steep turn during private pilot training, you should
A. maintain a 30-degree bank angle.
B. increase the angle of attack to maintain altitude.
C. decrease the power to maintain altitude.
D. reduce back pressure to prevent an accelerated stall.
42. What is the cause of overbanking tendency during a turn?
A. additional lift on the outside, or raised, wing.
B. uncoordinated flight.
C. spiraling slipstream.
D. increased adverse yaw from the inside wing.
43. Which is correct with respect to rate and radius of turn for an airplane flown in a coordinated turn at a constant altitude?
A. for a specific angle of bank and airspeed, the rate and radius of turn will not vary.
B. to maintain a steady rate of turn, the angle of bank must be increased as the airspeed is decreased.
C. the faster the true airspeed, the faster the rate and larger the radius of turn regardless of bank angle.
D. rate of turn varies only with airspeed and is independent of bank angle.
44. To increase the rate of turn and at the same time decrease the radius, you should
A. increase the bank and decrease airspeed.
B. increase the bank and increase airspeed.
C. maintain the bank and decrease airspeed.
D. maintain airspeed and decrease the bank angle.
45. If the airspeed is decreased from 98 knots to 85 knots during a coordinated level 45° banked turn, the load factor will
A. remain the same, but the radius of turn will decrease.
B. decrease, and the rate of turn will decrease.
C. remain the same, but the radius of turn will increase.
D. increase, and the rate of turn will decrease.
46. During an approach to a stall, an increased load factor causes the airplane to
A. stall at a higher airspeed.
B. have a tendency to spin.
C. be more difficult to control.
D. require a higher angle of attack to maintain altitude.
47. Which is a situation that could lead to an inadvertent accelerated stall?
A. leveling off too slowly from a steep descent.
B. flying at too slow of an airspeed on final approach.
C. maintaining a constant bank angle during straight-and-level flight.
D. improperly performing a steep turn.
48. At any given time, the energy state of the airplane is determined by the amount and distribution of energy stored as
A. thrust and drag.
B. fuel and combustion.
C. altitude and airspeed.
D. lift and angle of attack.
49. Which is true regarding energy management?
A. the total mechanical energy of an airplane in flight is the sum of its potential energy from airspeed and kinetic energy from altitude.
B. an airplane that is low and slow on final approach is an example of a total energy error.
C. an airplane that is high and slow on final approach is an example of an energy distribution error.
D. an airplane that is high and fast on final approach represents an energy distribution error.
50. If you are flying “on the back side of the power curve,”
A. the airplane is at a low angle of attack and a low airspeed.
B. a great amount of power is required to overcome parasite drag.
C. any reduction in airspeed requires an increase in power to maintain level flight.
D. reducing power will decrease induced drag and increase airspeed.
