The total drag on an aircraft is at a minimum
At the normal cruise speed
Just below normal cruise
Just above the stall speed
At Vne
A spin is the result of
A stall
A turn
A yaw
A stall with yaw present, resulting in an angle of attack difference between the wings
Frost on the wings will have the greatest affect by
Increasing weight
Changing the shape of the aerofoil
Causing an early breakaway of the streamline flow
All of the above
The angle between the wing chord and the relative airflow is the
Angle of incedence
flight angle
Angle of attack
Riggers angle
The 406MHz ELT provides
A reduced accuracy in locating the beacon, reducing search areas
A greater accuracy in locating the beacon, reducing search areas
A louder and thus more noticeable distress signal
Direct link of position information to a computer at the aircraft's base
Flaps are used on approach to land to
Lower the nose, reduce the rate of descent and reduce the descent angle
Raise the nose, increase the rate of descent and reduce the descent angle
Lower the nose, increase the rate of descent and increase the descent angle
Slow the aircraft down
During a steep turn, more lift is required therefore
A reduced angle of attack is required
The stalling angle increases
An increased angle of attack is required
The pilot must push forwards to prevent a stall
In a steady climb, which of the following is correct
Lift=Weight
Lift is less then weight
Thrust = Drag
Drag is greater than thrust
If the pitot tube blocks instantaneously, what happens to the airspeed indicator
The indication remains constant at the value it was showing when blocked
The indication slowly decreases to zero
The indication slowly increases to the maximum
The airspeed indicator functions normally
For any aircraft
The stall airspeed remains constant and the stalling angle of attack varies
The stall airspeed and the stalling angle of attack remain constant
The stall airspeed and the stalling angle of attack both vary
The stall airspeed varies and the stalling angle of attack remains contant
The angle of attack on an aerofoil is the angle between?
The fuselage and the aerofoil
The aerofoil chord line and the relative airflow
The bottom of the aerofoil and the relative airflow
The aerofoil chord line and the horizontal stabilizer chord line
Mass balancing of control surfaces is to
Assist the pilot in moving them
To prevent the controls becoming too heavy at high airspeed
To prevent flutter
The ensure they don't return to neutral unless the pilot makes them do so
The never exceed speed (Vne) is the maximum
Speed at which aerobatics is permitted
Speed at which full control deflection is permitted
Speed permitted in smooth air
Speed permitted in turbulent air
To maintain altitude in level flight lift must remain constant. For this to occur
Angle of attack must increase if airspeed dereases
Angle of attack must increase if airspeed increases
Angle of attack must decrease if airspeed decreases
Angle of attack should be maintained if airspeed increases
If an aircraft's indicated stall speed is 45 knots at 3000 feet, what is the stall speed at 6000 feet?
Lower than 45 knots
45 knots
Higher than 45 knots
50 knots
Which of the following will not cause an increase in stall speed?
A steep turn
A steep climb
A pull-out from a steep dive
Loading two additional passengers
Induced drag is caused by the total reaction being inclined rearwards, when is it greatest
Vne
At cruise airspeed
A low airspeed
As low airspeed and high angle of attack
The aircraft enters bad turbulence. What should the pilot do?
Speed up to get out of the turbulence faster
Slow down to just above the stall
Slow down to the bad weather airspeed and lower flap
Slow down to the manoeuvring airspeed
A spin is
An auto-rotative state with the aircraft experiencing auto-yaw and auto-roll
The aircraft flipping over and over
A tight descending spiral at high airpseed
The aircraft rolling by itself very fast.
If the ignition switch is set to off with the engine running and the earth wire to the magneto is broken then
The engine will stop
The engine will keep running
The engine will backfire
The windings will be damamged
Lift always acts
90 degrees to the angle of attack
90 degrees to the relative airflow
90 degrees to the angle of incedence
Directly opposite weight
At an aerodrome situated at 2500 feet above sea level, the take off distance compared to that at sea level given the same meteorology conditions will be
Shorted due to the lower air density
Shorted due to the higher engine porter output due to richer mixtures at altitude
Greater because the true airspeed required to produce sufficient lift is greater
Greater because the indicated airspeed required is higher
Pressure decreases with altitude, and temperature decreases with altitude at the rates of
27 hPa per 30 feet, 2 degrees per 1000 feet
27 hPa per foot, 1 degree per 1000 feet
1 hPa per 27 feet, 2 degrees per 1000 feet
1 hPa per 1000 feet, 1.98 degrees per 30 feet.
Which is the correct order of the Otto Cycle?
Induction, compression, power, exhaust
Induction, power, compression, exhaust
Power, exhaust, compression, induction
exhaust, power, induction, compression
