In what flight condition must an aircraft be placed in order to spin? - ✔✔Stalled.
During a spin to the left, which wing(s) is/are stalled? - ✔✔Both wings are stalled.
How will frost on the wings of an airplane affect takeoff performance? -
✔✔Frost will disrupt the smooth flow of air over the wing, adversely affecting its
lifting capability.
Why is frost considered hazardous to flight? - ✔✔Frost spoils the smooth flow
of air over the wings, thereby decreasing lifting capability.
,How does frost affect the lifting surfaces of an airplane on takeoff? - ✔✔Frost my
prevent the airplane from becoming airborne at normal takeoff speed.
What is ground effect? - ✔✔The result of inference of the surface of the
earth with the airflow patterns about an airplane.
Floating caused by the phenomenon of ground effect will be most realized during
an approach to land when at... - ✔✔Less than the length of the wingspan
above the surface.
What must a pilot be aware of as a result of ground effect? - ✔✔Induced
drag decreases; therefor, any excess speed at the point of flare may cause
considerable floating.
Ground effect is most likely to result in which problem? - ✔✔Becoming
airborne before reaching recommended takeoff speed.
,What force makes an airplane turn? - ✔✔The horizontal component of lift.
An airplane said to be inherently stable will... - ✔✔require less effort to control.
What determines the longitudinal stability of an airplane? - ✔✔The location
of the CG with respect to the center of lift.
Changes in the center of pressure of a wing affect the aircraft's... -
✔✔Aerodynamic balance and controllability.
An airplane has been loaded in such a manner that the CG is located aft of the aft
CG limit. One undesirable flight characteristic a pilot might experience with this
airplane would be... - ✔✔Difficulty in recovering from a stalled condition.
, What causes an airplane (except a T-tail) to pitch nosedown when power is
reduced and controls are not adjusted? - ✔✔The downwash on the elevators from
the propeller slipstream is reduced and the elevator effectiveness is reduced
Loading an airplane to the most aft CG will cause the airplane to be... -
✔✔Less stable at all speeds.
In what flight condition is torque effect the greatest in a single-engine airplane? -
✔✔Low airspeed, high power, high angle of attack.
The left turning tendency of an airplane caused by P-factor is the result of the... -
✔✔Propeller blade descending on the right, producing more thrust than the
ascending blade on the left.
When does P-factor cause the airplane to yaw to the left? - ✔✔When at
high angles of attack.
