Ch 3 Section C: Aerodynamics of Maneuvering Flight

During an approach to a stall, an increased load factor will cause the airplane to A - stall at a higher airspeed. B - have a tendency to spin. C - be more difficult to control.

A

In what flight condition is torque effect the greatest in a single-engine airplane? A - Low airspeed, high power, high angle of attack. B - Low airspeed, low power, low angle of attack. C - High airspeed, high power, high angle of attack.

A

What force makes an airplane turn? A - The horizontal component of lift. B - The vertical component of lift. C - Centrifugal force.

A

The amount of excess lead that can be imposed on the wing of an airplane depends upon the A - position of the CG. B - speed of the airplane. C - aburptness at which the load is applied.

B

The left turning tendency of an airplane caused by P-factor is the result of the A - clockwise rotation of the engine and the propeller turning the airplane counter-clockwise. B - propeller blade descending on the right, producing more thrust than the ascending blade on the left. C - gyroscopic forces applied to the rotating propeller blades acting 90° in advance of the point the force was applied.

B

When does P-factor cause the airplane to yaw to the left? A - When at low angles of attack. B - When at high angles of attack. C - When at high airspeeds.

B

Which basic flight maneuver increases the load factor on an airplane as compared to straight-and-level flight? A - Climbs. B - Turns. C - Stalls.

B

Select the four flight fundamentals involved in maneuvering an aircraft. A - Aircraft power, pitch, bank, and trim. B - Starting, taxiing, takeoff, and landing. C - Straight-and-level flight, turns, climbs, and descents.
