Four forces that act on aircraft in flight correct answers Lift
Gravity
Thrust
Drag
Composition of the Atmosphere correct answers 78% Nitrogen
21% Oxygen
1% other gases
Two types of flight control systems correct answers Primary
Secondary
Primary correct answers Those needed to safely control an airplane during flight (aileron,
elevator, rudder)
Secondary correct answers Improve airplane's performance or relieve the pilot of having to deal
with excessive control forces (wing flaps and trim control systems)
Longitudinal Axis correct answers The axis that runs lengthwise through the fuselage from nose
to tail (roll)
Lateral Axis correct answers Runs from wing tip to wing tip (pitch)
Vertical Axis correct answers Runs through the aircraft's center of gravity (yaw)
What controls the roll and pitch correct answers The joystick
What controls the yaw correct answers Two rudder pedals
Aileron correct answers Controls airplane movement around longitudinal axis (roll)
Elevator correct answers Controls the pitch
Rudder correct answers Controls the yaw
Explain lift correct answers Wings are curved strongly towards the top, so air rushes over the top
of a wing faster than at bottom so as to not create a vacuum and the end of the wing (nature), and
this increase in air speed on the top means lower air pressure on top and thus lift
Some secondary flight controls correct answers Flaps (increase lift and drag)
Spoilers (decrease lift, increase drag)
Altimeter correct answers Measures height above a particular air pressure
, Relationship between altitude and pressure correct answers As altitude increases, atmospheric
pressure decreases
5 Types of Altitude correct answers Indicated altitude: uncorrected altitude read directly from
altimeter
True altitude: vertical distance of airplane above sea level
Absolute altitude: vertical distance of airplane above terrain
Pressure altitude: altitude when altimeter setting window is adjusted to 29.92
Density altitude: pressure altitude corrected for variations from standard temperatures
Vertical Speed Indicator correct answers Indicates whether the airplane is climbing, descending,
or in right level
Four types of airspeed correct answers ICE-T
Indicated airspeed: measures air pressure from pilots tube
Calibrated airspeed: airspeed taking into account errors
Equivalent airspeed: compensates for compression effects
True airspeed: account for temperature and atmospheric pressure changes
Aviation safety colors correct answers Purple
Blue
Green
Yellow
Red
Brown
White
Purple correct answers aviation fuels
Blue correct answers plane handlers, aircraft elevator operators, phone talkers
Green correct answers Catapult and arresting gear crews
Hook runners
Yellow correct answers Aircraft handling officers
Red correct answers Ordnancemen, crash and salvage crew
