given period of time? - Answers -Vy

3009. Vno is defined as the? - Answers -Maximum structural cruising speed
3010. Vso is defined as the? - Answers -Stalling speed or minimum steady flight speed
in the landing configuration
3105. If an altimeter setting is not available before flight, to which altitude should the
pilot adjust the altimeter? - Answers -The elevation of the departure area.
3106. Prior to takeoff, the altimeter should be set to which altitude or altimeter setting? -
Answers -The current local altimeter setting, if available, or the departure airport
elevation.
3107. At what altitude shall the altimeter be set to 29.92, when climbing to cruising flight
level? - Answers -18,000 feet MSL.
3254. Altimeter setting is the value to which the barometric pressure scale of the
altimeter is set so the altimeter indicates: - Answers -True altitude at field elevation
3255. How do variations in temperature affect the altimeter? - Answers -Pressure levels
are raised on warm days and the indicated altitude is lower than true altitude
3256. What is true altitude? - Answers -The vertical distance of the aircraft above sea
level.
3204: The term "angle of attack" is defined as the angle: - Answers -between the wing
chord line and the relative wind

3317. Angle of attack is defined s the angle between the chord line of an airfoil and the:
- Answers -direction of the relative wind
3201-1. Which statement relates to Bernouilli's principle? - Answers -Air traveling faster
over the curved upper surface of an airfoil causes lower pressure on the top surface
