PASSED Actual Exam Questions and
CORRECT Answers
Which is the correct symbol for the stalling speed or the minimum 'steady flight speed' in a
specified configuration? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔VS1
Which is the correct symbol for the stalling speed or the minimum steady flight speed at
which the airplane is controllable? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔VS
14 CFR part 1 defines VF as - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔design flap speed
14 CFR part 1 defines VLE as - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Maximum landing gear extended
speed
14 CFR part 1 defines VNE as - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Never exceed speed
14 CFR part 1 defines VY as - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Speed for best rate of climb
If an airplane category is listed as utility, it would mean that this airplane could be operated in
which of the following maneuvers? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Limited aerobatics,
including spins (if approved)
`Which is true with respect to operating limitations of a 'restricted' category airplane? -
CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔No person may operate a 'restricted' category airplane carrying
passengers or property for compensation or hire.
Which is true with respect to operating limitations of a 'primary' category airplane? -
CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔No person may operate a 'primary' category airplane carrying
passengers or property for compensation or hire
The carriage of passengers for hire by a commercial pilot is - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔not
authorized in a "limited" category aircraft
,No person may operate an aircraft that has an experimental airworthiness certificate -
CORRECT 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 - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔load factor and directly affects stall speed
Load factor is the lift generated by the wings of an aircraft at any given time - CORRECT
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-
altitude turn - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔is constant and the stall speed increases
Airplane wing loading during a level coordinated turn in smooth air depends on - CORRECT
ANSWER- ✔✔angle of bank
In a rapid recovery from a dive, the effects of load factor would cause the stall speed to -
CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔increase
If an aircraft with a gross weight of 2,000 pounds was subjected to a 60 degree constant-
altitude bank, the total load would be - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔4,000 pounds
While maintaining a constant angle of bank and altitude in a coordinated turn, an increase in
airspeed will - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔decrease the rate of turn resulting in no change in
load factor
Lift on a wing is most properly defined as the - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔force acting
perpendicular to the relative wind.
You are making a level turn at a constant bank angle. If you vary the rate of turn, the load
factor will - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔remain constant
, The need to slow an aircraft below VA is brought about by the following weather
phenomenon - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Turbulence which causes an increase in stall speed
In theory, if the airspeed of an airplane is doubled while in level flight, parasite drag will
become - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔4 times greater
As airspeed decreases in level flight below that speed for maximum lift/drag ratio, total drag
of an airplane - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔increases because of increased induced drag
If the airspeed is increased from 90 knots to 135 knots during a level 60° banked turn, the
load factor will - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔remain the same but the radius of the turn will
increase
Baggage weighing 90 pounds is placed in a normal category airplane's baggage compartment
which is placarded at 100 pounds. If this airplane is subjected to a positive load factor of 3.5
Gs, the total load of the baggage would be - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔315 pounds and
would not be excessive
(Refer to figure 1.) at an airspeed represented by point B, in steady flight, the pilot can expect
to obtain the airplane's maximum - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Glide range
(refer to figure 1.) At the airspeed represented by point A, in steady flight, the airplane will -
CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔have its maximum L/D ratio
Which statement is true relative to changing angle of attack? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔An
increase in angle of attack will increase drag
Which airspeed would a pilot be unable to identify by the color coding of an airspeed
indicator? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔The maneuvering speed
Which statement is true about magnetic deviation of a compass? Deviation - CORRECT
ANSWER- ✔✔varies for different headings of the same aircraft
