1
The amount of excess load that can be imposed on the wing of an airplane depends upon the
position of the CG.
abruptness at which the load is applied.
speed of the airplane.
2
Which basic flight maneuver increases the load factor on an airplane as compared to straight-and- level flight?
Stalls.
Climbs.
Turns.
3
During an approach to a stall, an increased load factor will cause the airplane to
have a tendency to spin.
be more difficult to control.
stall at a higher airspeed.
4
(Refer to figure 2.) If an airplane weighs 2,300 pounds, what approximate weight would the airplane structure be required to support during a 60° banked turn while maintaining altitude?
3,400 pounds.
2,300 pounds.
4,600 pounds.
5
The term 'angle of attack' is defined as the angle
between the airplane's climb angle and the horizon.
between the wing chord line and the relative wind.
formed by the longitudinal axis of the airplane and the chord line of the wing.
6
(Refer to figure 1.) The acute angle A is the angle of
attack.
dihedral.
incidence.
7
What is the relationship of lift, drag, thrust, and weight when the airplane is in straight-and-level flight?
Lift and weight equal thrust and drag.
Lift equals weight and thrust equals drag.
Lift, drag, and weight equal thrust.
8
When are the four forces that act on an airplane in equilibrium?
During unaccelerated flight.
When the aircraft is at rest on the ground.
When the aircraft is accelerating.
9
The four forces acting on an airplane in flight are
lift, weight, gravity, and thrust.
lift, weight, thrust, and drag.
lift, gravity, power, and friction.
10
How will frost on the wings of an airplane affect takeoff performance?
Frost will change the camber of the wing, increasing its lifting capability.
Frost will disrupt the smooth flow of air over the wing, adversely affecting its lifting capability.
Frost will cause the airplane to become airborne with a higher angle of attack, decreasing the stall speed.
