AFOQT PILOT SECTION QUESTIONSFaster flow of air over the wings than beneath it - Answers -Which of the following will
create lift?
Slats - Answers -What component is NOT part of an empennange?
Skate - Answers -Which of the following is NOT a type of landing gear?
Semicoque - Answers -Which is NOT a type of fuselage?
Monocoque - Answers -Type of fuselage
Longitudinal - Answers -Which of the following axes is controlled by ailerons?
Lateral - Answers -Which of the following axes is controlled by elevators
Vertical - Answers -Which of the following axes is controlled by a rudder?
Aileron - Answers -Which of the following is not a secondary or auxiliary flight control?
The pilot - Answers -Who should be the most concerned about an aircraft's flight
envelope?
Stalling Speed - Answers -What is the minimum speed at which an aircraft can maintain
level flight?
Cruising speed - Answers -Most economical and comfortable speed for an aircraft to fly
Service Ceiling - Answers -What is the maximum operating altitude for a design of an
aircraft?
Drag - Answers -Which of the following is another word for aerodynamic friction or wind
resistance?
Pitching - Answers -Aircraft movement along the lateral axis
Rolling - Answers -Aircraft movement along the longitudinal axis
Yawing - Answers -Aircraft movement along the vertical axis
Spoiler - Answers -Located on the upper or trailing edge of the wing, used to decrease
lift
Trim - Answers -Inexpensive autopilot system, found on the trailing edge of primary
flight control surfaces
, Empennage - Answers -The tail assembly of an aircraft, includes tail cone, fixed
stabilizers, and moveable surfaces that assist in directional control (rudder and
elevators).
Fixed landing gear - Answers -Stationary landing gear that does not have the ability to
retract
Retractable landing gear - Answers -Landing Gear that retracts into the body of the
plane. Increases smooth airflow and decreases wind resistance.
Powerplant - Answers -Consists of the engine typically either turbine or piston.
Flight envelope - Answers -The capabilities of an aircraft based on its design in terms of
altitude, airspeed, loading factors, and maneuverability.
Climb rate - Answers -Vertical speed of an aircraft, which is the increase in altitude in
respect to time.
Climb gradient - Answers -Ratio of the increase in altitude to the horizontal air distance
Glide ratio - Answers -Ratio of horizontal distance traveled per rate of fall.
Gravity - Answers -Also called the weight force. Aircraft need to provide enough lift to
overcome this.
Lift - Answers -Created by the motion of the aircraft through the air. Causes the aircraft
to rise.
Bernoulli's Principle - Answers -"An increase in velocity is always accompanied by a
decrease in pressure and creates lift on an airfoil."
Thrust - Answers -Force that propels the aircraft forward to provide airflow beneath the
wings. Overcomes the force of drag.
Angle of attack - Answers -The angle between the relative win and the chord line.
Chord line - Answers -Line between the leading and trailing edge of the airfoil.
Straight and Level, Turns, Climbs, and Descents - Answers -Four Flight Manuevers
Straight and Level - Answers -Maintains a heading and altitude with minor adjustments.
Turns - Answers -Banking of the wings in the direction needed. All primary controls are
required.
