3. If an aircraft is yawing to the left, where would you position the trim tab
on the rudder?
A) To the centre.
B) To the right.
C) To the left.
4. If an aircraft is flying with a left wing low, where would you move the
left aileron trim tab?
A) Down.
B) Up.
C) Moving the aileron trim tab will not correct the situation.
5. When a leading edge flap is fully extended, what is the slot in the wing
for?
A) To allow the flap to retract into it when it retracts.
B) To re-energise the boundary layer.
C) To increase the lift.
Correct Answer is. The down going aileron moves through a smaller angle than the
up going aileron.
Explanation. Mechanics of Flight, Kermode, Page 301. The down going aileron
moves less, to reduce the induced drag which causes adverse aileron yaw.
Correct Answer is. if a suitable angle of attack develops due either yaw or rudder
movement.
Explanation. Rudder deflection or yaw.
8. An aircraft left wing is flying low. The aileron trimmer control to the left
aileron trim tab in the cockpit would be.
A. moved up causing the left aileron to move up.
B. moved up causing the left aileron to move down.
C. moved down causing the left aileron to move down.
Correct Answer is. moved up causing the left aileron to move down.
Explanation. Down aileron required - which requires up trim.
Correct Answer is. act as venturi, accelerate the air and re-energise boundary layer.
Explanation. A slot is to act as venturi, accelerate the air and re-energise boundary
layer.
Correct Answer is. causes increased spanwise flow towards tips on wing lower
surface.
Explanation. Flaps increase the pressure differential between top and bottom
surfaces, increase tip vortices and spanwise flow.
12. During flight, an aircraft is yawing to the right. The aircraft would have
a tendency to fly.
A) right wing low.
B) nose up.
C) left wing low.
14. Extending a leading edge slat will have what effect on the angle of
attack of a wing?
A) Increase the angle of attack.
B) Decrease the angle of attack.
C) No effect on angle of attack.
15. To ensure that a wing stalls at the root first, stall wedges are:
A) installed at the wing trailing edge at the wing root.
B) installed at the wing trailing edge at the wing root.
C) installed on the wing leading edge at the wing root.
Correct Answer is. installed on the wing leading edge at the wing root.
Explanation. NIL.
21. Slats:
A) act as an air brake.
B) keep the boundary layer from separating for longer.
C) increase the overall surface area and lift effect of wing.
Correct Answer is. keep the boundary layer from separating for longer.
22. Due to the change of lift forces resulting from the extension of flaps in
flight:
A) nose should be lowered, reducing AoA.
B) nose should remain in the same position, maintaining same AoA.
C) nose should be raised, increasing AoA.
Correct Answer is. can be used to decrease lift to allow controlled decent without
reduction of airspeed.
24. If the aircraft is flying nose heavy, which direction would you move the
elevator trim tab?
A) Up to move elevator up.
B) Down to move elevator up.
C) Up to move elevator down.
28. Which wing increases drag when the ailerons are moved?
A) Both wings have an equal increase in drag.
B) Both wings increase drag but the wing with the down-going aileron increases
more.
C) Both wings increase drag but the wing with the up-going aileron increases more.
Correct Answer is. Both wings increase drag but the wing with the down-going
aileron increases more.
30. An automatic slat will lift by itself when the angle of attack is:
A) low.
B) high or low.
C) high.
31. On aircraft fitted with spoilers for lateral control, roll to the right is
caused by:
A) left and right spoilers extending.
B) right spoilers extending, left spoilers remaining retracted.
C) left spoilers extending, right spoilers remaining retracted.
Correct Answer is. right spoilers extending, left spoilers remaining retracted.
Correct Answer is. the angle of attachment of the lower hinged portion.
33. When the trailing edge flaps are lowered, the aircraft will:
A) sink.
B) pitch nose down.
C) pitch nose up.
38. The layer of air over the surface of an aerofoil which is slower moving,
in relation to the rest of the airflow, is known as:
A) camber layer.
B) none of the above are correct.
C) boundary layer.
Correct Answer is. cause corresponding changes in total drag due to the associated
lift change.
48. A wing flap which has dropped or partially extended on one wing in
flight will lead to:
A) a steady rolling tendency which would be corrected by use of the ailerons.
B) a fixed banked attitude which would be corrected by use of the rudder.
C) a pitching moment which would be corrected by used of the elevators.
Correct Answer is. a steady rolling tendency which would be corrected by use of the
ailerons.
49. With an increase in the amount of flap deployment, the stalling angle
of a wing:
A) increases.
B) remains the same.
C) decreases.
Correct Answer is. decreases.
Correct Answer is. decreases the angle at which its wing will stall.
53. Which leading edge device improves the laminar flow over the wing?
A) Flap and slat.
B) Flap.
C) Slat.
55. Induced drag curve characteristics of a slender delta wing are such
that there is:
A) an increase in gradient with wing speed.
B) decrease in gradient with wing speed.
C) no change in gradient with wing speed.
56. If an aircraft is yawing left, the trim tab on the rudder would be
positioned:
A) to the left, moving the rudder right.
B) to the centre.
C) to the right, moving the rudder left.
Correct Answer is. does not increase the wing area on deployment.
Correct Answer is. increases drag with little lift coefficient increase, from
intermediate to fully down.
