Answer: C
7. One of the main functions of flaps during landing is to...

C. Increase the descent angle without increasing airspeed
D. Improve climb performance
Answer: C
8. What is one purpose of wing flaps?
A. To enable steeper approaches without increasing airspeed
B. To reduce landing distance
C. To increase speed during takeoff
D. To improve stability during flight
Answer: A
9. If an airplane is loaded with the center of gravity (CG) too far aft, what might happen?
