Private Pilot Ground School Exam Questions and Answers Already Passed
Fuselage - Answers Houses the cabin and cockpit which contains seats for the occupants and the
controls for the airplane
Wings - Answers Contoured to take the maximum advantage of this force, and may be attached at the
top, middle, or lower portion of the fuselage
Ailerons - Answers Extended from about the midpoint of each wing outward to the tip and move in
opposite direction to create aerodynamic forces that cause the airplane to turn
Flaps - Answers Extended outward from the fuselage to the midpoint of each wing
Empennage - Answers Consists of the vertical stabilizer, or fin, the rudder, the horizontal stabilizer, and
the elevator
Firewall - Answers Located between the engine compartment and the cockpit, not only protects
occupants, but also serves as a mounting point for the engines
four-stroke operating cycle - Answers Intake, Compression, Power and Exhaust
Carburetor - Answers Mixes the incoming air with fuel and delivers it to the combustion chamber
Carburetor ice - Answers Occurs due to the sharp temperature drop caused by fuel vaporization and
decreasing air pressure in the venturi of the carburetor (expect ice to form below 21°C(70°F) and the
relative humidity is high)
Magneto - Answers A self-contained, engine driven unit that supplies electrical current to the spark plug.
(The dual ignition system on an airplane engine provides improved engine performance)
Detonation - Answers An uncontrolled, exposive ignition of the fuel/air mixture within the cylinders
combustion chamber
Pre-ignition - Answers Occurs when the fuel/air mixture is ignited in advance of the normal timed
ignition
Pitot tube - Answers Allows ram air pressure to enter the pitot tube before it is affected by the airplanes
structure
Indicated altitude - Answers The altitude measured by your altimeter, and the one you will use the most
often during flight
Pressure altitude - Answers The height above the standard datum plane when 29.92 is set in the
altimeter scale
Density - Answers The pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard temperature, increases as ambient
temperature increases
True altitude - Answers The actual height of an object above mean sea level
Absolute altitude - Answers The altitude varies with the height of the airplane, as well as the height of
the surface
Gyroscopic principals - Answers Rigidity In Space and Precession
Rigidity In Space - Answers A wheel spun rapidly will remain in a fixed position in the plane in which it is
spinning
Precession - Answers The tilting or turning of a gyro in response to pressure
Deviation - Answers Compass error which occurs due to disturbances from the magnetic fields produced
by metals and electrical accessories within the airplane its self
Airfoil - Answers Provides aerodynamic force when it interacts with a moving stream of air
Stall - Answers Caused by separation of airflow from the wing's upper surface
Angle of incidence - Answers Usually it is attached to the fuselage with the chord line inclined upward at
a slight angle
Plain flap - Answers Attached to the wing by a hing
Fowler flap - Answers Attached to the wing by a track and roller system
Parisite drag - Answers Caused by any aircraft surface which deflates or interferes with the smooth
airflow around the airplane
Form drag - Answers The turbulent wake caused by the separation of airflow from the surface of a
structure
Interference drag - Answers When the airflow around one part of the airplane interacts with the airflow
around and adjacent part
