AFOQT AVIATION EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 2024-2025
What are the four aerodynamic forces that act on an airplane? - ANSWER Drag,
Lift, Thrust, Weight.
An airplane wing is designed to provide lift caused by relatively: - ANSWER:
Positive below the wing/negative above the wing.
What forces act on a plane in a constant state of flight? - ANSWER Lift equals
weight; thrust equals drag.
A flashing green air traffic control signal pointed toward an aircraft on the
surface indicates that the pilot is: - ANSWER Cleared for taxi
What does a steady red light from the tower indicate? - ANSWER Keep
circling.
What do flashing red lights mean? - ANSWER Unsafe to land.
The propeller blades are curled on one side and flat on the other side. Produce
thrust
When in the Down position, what do the wingflaps provide? – ANSWER
Increase drag and lift.
What causes an airplane to turn? - ANSWER The horizontal component of lift
What is the advantage of an airplane that is believed to be fundamentally stable?
- ANSWER The aircraft will require less effort to control.
If the elevator trim tabs on a plane are lowered, will the plane tend to? -
ANSWER Nose up!
The pilot always increases the throttle during a - Answer: Climb.
, What is the greatest way for an airplane pilot to notice the impending stall? -
ANSWER Inefficiency of airlerons and elevators
It is often preferable to have an especially long flying strip at municipal airports
for takeoff. - ANSWER Heavy-laden ships in the air
Most airplanes' elevators have a small hinged section called the: Trim Tab
At night, airport taxiways are designated by omnidirectional edge lights that
are?-ANSWER Blue.
If the ammeter in an airplane exhibits a negative value, this signifies that the
alternator or generator power is inadequate.
A turbojet generates thrust by compressing air in the inlet and compressor,
mixing it with fuel, and burning it in the combustor. - ANSWER Expanding the
gas stream through the turbine and nozzle.
A ramjet engine contains an inlet, a combustion zone, and a nozzle.
A fixed-wing aircraft generates lift _____ to the direction of flight. - Answer:
Perpendicular
Angle of attack is the angle created between the chord of an airfoil or wing and
the direction of the relative wind.
