Which is the symbol for the stalling speed or the minimum steady flight speed in
a specified configuration? - ANSWER-VS1
Which is the correct symbol for the stalling speed or the minimum steady flight
speed at which the airplane is controllable? - ANSWER-VS
Vf - ANSWER-Design Flap Speed
Vle - ANSWER-Maximum Landing Gear Extended Speed
Vne - ANSWER-Never-Exceed Speed
Vy - ANSWER-Speed for best rate of Climb
If an airplane is listed as utility, it would mean that this airplane could be operated
in which of the following maneuvers? - ANSWER-Limited Acrobatics, including
spins (if approved)
Which is true with respect to operating limitations of a 'restricted' category
airplane? - ANSWER-No person may operate a 'restricted' category airplane
carrying passengers or property for compensation for hire.
, Which is true to operating limitations of a "primary" category airplane? -
ANSWER-No person may operate a "primary" category airplane carrying
passengers or property for compensation for hire.
The carriage of passengers for hire by a commercial pilot is - ANSWER-not
authorized in a "limited" category aircraft
No person may operate an aircraft that has an experimental airworthiness
certificate - ANSWER-when carrying persons or property for hire
The ratio between the total air load imposed on the wing and the gross weight of
an aircraft in flight is known as - ANSWER-load factor and directly affects stall
speed
Load factor is the lift generated by the wings of an aircraft at any given time -
ANSWER-divided by the total weight of the aircraft
For a given angle of bank, in any airplane, the load factor imposed in a
coordinated constant-attitude turn - ANSWER-is constant and the stall speed
increased
Airplane wing loading during a level coordinated turn in smooth air depends
upon the - ANSWER-angle of bank
in a rapid recovery from a dive, the effects of load factor would cause the stall
speed to - ANSWER-increase
If an aircraft with a gross weight of 2,000 pounds was subjected to a 60 deg
constant-attitude bank, the total load would be - ANSWER-4,000 pounds
While maintaining a constant angle of bank and altitude in a coordinated turn, an
increase in airspeed will - ANSWER-decrease the rate of turn resulting in no
change in load factor
