Questions and Correct Answers
What is single-pilot resource management? ✅The art and science of a pilot managing
all available resources to ensure the successful completion of a flight.
Which control surfaces are usually located on the empennage? ✅rudder, elevator,
stabilizer
what conditions are most conducive to carburetor ice? ✅Humidity above 80%.
A decrease in engine power occurs when you apply carburetor heat because... ✅less
dense air is entering the engine.
What are the characteristics of a monocoque airplane structure? ✅almost all structural
loads are carried by the outer skin of the airplane.
Detonation can be described as... ✅fuel in the cylinders exploding instead of burning
smoothly.
if the engine magneto switch is turned to the off position, but the engine continue to run,
the probable cause is... ✅a broken magneto ground wire.
Excessive cylinder head and engine oil temperatures can be caused by.... ✅using a
lower than normal fuel grade.
The three pressure instruments connected to the pilot-static sytem are the....
✅airspeed indicator, altimeter, and vertical speed indicator.
According to the markings on the accompanying airspeed indicator, what is the
maximum speed with flaps fully extended? ✅85 knots
assume that you land at an airport with your altimeter set to 29.92, forgetting to set it to
the current setting of 30.00. What will the altimeter read if the field of elevation is 2,000
feet MSL? ✅1,920 feet MSL
The turn indicator provides a direct indication of aircraft... ✅rate of turn.
The altitude indicator reflects the airplane's movement about the... ✅longitudinal and
lateral axes
, How often should you check the heading indicator and align it with the magnetic
compass? ✅every 15 minutes.
After departing runway 36, you make a left turn to a heading of 180º. If the magnetic
compass initially indicates a turn in the opposite direction, you should know that this
reaction is.... ✅normal for all magnetic compasses under similar conditions.
What two conditions normally cause an increase in lift? ✅increased angle of attack
and increased speed.
What causes the separation of air over the wing during a stall? ✅the angle formed by
the wing chord line and the relative wind is excessive, regardless of the airspeed or
altitude.
How does extending the wing flaps affect lift and drag? ✅increases both lift and drag
wingtip vortices contribute to the production of... ✅induced drag
What are the control characteristics of an aircraft with the CG forward of limits? ✅very
stable pitch, inadequate elevator control for landing, longer takeoff run, and greater
nose-over tendency.
Dihedral is used to stabilize the airplane about the ✅longitudinal axis
P-factor is one of the forces that causes the airplane to ✅yaw to the left
What is the primary force that causes an airplane to turn? ✅Horizontal component of
lift.
The recommended method of scanning for other aircraft during the day is to use... ✅a
series of short, regularly spaced eye movements to search each 10 degree sector of the
viewing area.
The most practical way to compensate for blind spots in aircraft design while climbing or
descending is to make... ✅shallow S-turns
except when necessary for takeoff and landing, when you fly over congested areas, you
must maintain an altitude of at least 1,000 feet... ✅above any obstacle within a
horizontal distance of 2,000 feet of the aircraft.
refer to the illustration and determine the appropriate landing runway and traffic pattern
direction ✅runway 36, right-hand traffic
