In addition to wire-braced wings, what identifies open truss structure? - ANSWER✔✔-Clearly visible

struts


Which fuselage design cannot tolerate dents or deformations of the surface? - ANSWER✔✔-Monocoque


Which wing design contains no external bracing? - ANSWER✔✔-Cantilever


A conventional empennage always contains what two components? - ANSWER✔✔-Vertical stabilizer, or

fin, and a horizontal stabilizer


What small hinged device on an airplane is used to help minimize the pilot's workload? - ANSWER✔✔-

Trim tab


Aircraft brakes are located on which wheels? - ANSWER✔✔-Main wheels


Most general aviation airplane propellers have how many blades? - ANSWER✔✔-2 or 3

Using the ISA standards for altitude change, if an aircraft is at 4,000 feet and 10 degrees C, what will the

temperature be if the aircraft increases to 10,000 feet? - ANSWER✔✔--2 degrees C


What is the pitot-static system used for? - ANSWER✔✔-To determine speed, altitude, and altitude trend


The pitot-static system generally consists of what two components? - ANSWER✔✔-The pitot tube and

pitot-static instruments


Vso - ANSWER✔✔-Airspeed indicator: Lowest limit of the white arc, the stall speed or the minimum

steady flight speed in the landing configuration.


Vs1 - ANSWER✔✔-Airspeed: Lowest limit of the green arc, the stall speed or minimum steady flight

speed obtained in a specific configuration


Vfe - ANSWER✔✔-Maximum speed with the flaps extended. Upper limit of the green arch


Vno - ANSWER✔✔-Upper limit of the green arc, the maximum structural cruising speed


Va - ANSWER✔✔-Design maneuvering speed. Listed in POH. Speed you can use full control movement

and not cause structural damage to the aircraft. It changes with aircraft weight. It's greater when aircraft

is heavy and lower when the load is light.


Vlo and Vle - ANSWER✔✔-Max landing gear operating airspeed and maximum landing gear extended

airspeed


Indicated airspeed (IAS) - ANSWER✔✔-On airspeed indicator. It's calibrated for sea level conditions.


Doesn't reflect variation in air density.


Importance performance airspeeds are always the same indicated airspeed, regardless of altitude.

Calibrated airspeed (CAS) - ANSWER✔✔-Indicated airspeed corrected for installation error and

instrument error.


Determine by looking at chart in the POH.


True airspeed (TAS) - ANSWER✔✔-Actual speed through the air. Calibrated airspeed corrected for density

changes due to altitude and temperature.


Use flight computer to determine.


Groundspeed - ANSWER✔✔-Actual speed over the ground.


TAS and Groundspeed are equal in a no wind situation.


- A headwind decreases groundspeed


- A tailwind increases groundspeed


- It is not on the airspeed indicator


Vn - ANSWER✔✔-Maximum structural cruising speed


What is the altimeter? - ANSWER✔✔-It measures the aircraft's altitude and is part of the pitot-static

system.


- Indications are based on the mean sea level (MSL)


-Change the Kollsman window to compensation for changes in local pressure.


-Indicated altitude changes about 1,000 feet for every inch of change in the setting.


-Altimeter settings are accurate only in the vicinity of the reporting station.

What do the dials on the altimeter mean? - ANSWER✔✔-The longer of the two needles indicates

multiples of 100 feet.


The shorter of the two needles indicates multiples of 1,000 feet


The pointer indicates multiples of 10,000 feet


- A crosshatched area appears at altitudes below 10,000 feet MSL


What is the Kollsman window? - ANSWER✔✔-The altimeter setting window. Turn the know to a higher

setting increases the indicated altitude. Changes 1,000 feet for every inch of change in the setting.


What are the 6 main types of altitude? - ANSWER✔✔-Indicated altitude


Pressure altitude


Density altitude


True altitude


Absolute altitude


Calibrated altitude


Indicated Altitude - ANSWER✔✔-The altitude measured by the altimeter, the altitude used most often

during flight.


-


Pressure altitude - ANSWER✔✔-The height above the standard datum plane.


The standard datum plane is a theoretical reference point at sea level where pressure is 29.92 of

mercury.
