QUIZ

1. Generally speaking, a pilot can control the amount of lift the wings can
generate by altering:

Both A and B

2.This wing type results in less drag and more lift, especially at high speeds:

Tapered wing

3. Weight always acts:

Vertically downward toward the center of the earth.

4. The point at which the coefficient of lift begins to decrease at the peak of the
graph is known as:

Critical angle of attack

5. The wings aspect ratio is the relationship between the:

Length and width of the wing

6. During flight, the FAA recommends that pilots

Focus primarily outside on visual references, while verifying using the instruments

7. Use of flaps during landing allows the pilot to:

Both b and c

8. The principle that states: As the velocity of a fluid increases, its internal pressure
decreases, is known as:

Bernoullis principle

9. Newtons third law states that:

for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

10. During straight and level, unaccelerated flight,

Lift is equal to weight

11. Parasite drag is

The result of air resistance as the airplane flies

12. During a right turn, there is a need to

All of the above

13. During straight and level, unaccelerated flight,

Lift is equal to weight

14. When discussing lift, the most important factor as to how much lift a wing can
produce is related to

Angle-of-attack

15. Proper recovery from a stall should include decreasing the angle of attack,
increasing power, and minimizing altitude loss.

True

16. Similar to lift, thrust is generated from Newtons Third Law, since a propeller is an
airfoil.

True

17. Use of flaps during landing allows the pilot to:

Both b and c

18. When the leading edge and trailing edge are connected with an imaginary
line, it is referred to as the

Chord line

19. This wing type results in less drag and more lift, especially at high speeds

Tapered wing

20. The only way to recover from a stall is to:

Lower the pitch below the critical angle of attack

21. Which of the following is not an example of parasite drag?

Induced drag

22. An aerodynamic stall is:

When the airflow over the wing separates from the wings upper surface, resulting
in turbulent airflow

23. Most airplanes are equipped with a way to manipulate the wings, allowing the
increase of lift, especially at low airspeeds. The most common high-lift device on a
general-aviation airplane is

Flaps

24. This wing type are most efficient at high speeds, while less efficient at low
speeds

Sweptback wing

25. Induced drag is

The by-product of lift

26. The _________ is usually designed into an airfoil to increase the maximum
coefficient of lift, and thereby minimizing the stalling speed of the aircraft.

Camber

27. The best rate of climb allows a plane to

Climb the most altitude in the least amount of time

28. For a given airfoil, a stall will occur

At the same angle-of-attack

29. This wing type is less efficient than an elliptical wing, but has better stall
characteristics.

Rectangular wing
