For a given aerofoil, the AOA which results in a stall:
(a) remains constant regardless of bank, load or TAS
(b) varies directly with the degree of bank
(c) varies with the speed of airflow around aerofoil
The stall speed of an aircraft will increase with:
(a) decrease in the load factor
(b) increase in the pitch attitude for straight and level
(c) increase in the all up weight of the aircraft
The three axis of an aircraft intersect at the:
(a) centre of pressure
(b) centre of gravity
(c) midpoint of the datum line
When approaching the stall, the separation point (moves Forward)
(a) always stays in the same position
(b) moves rearward
(c) moves towards the transition point
The primary function of the rudder, while entering a turn from straight-and-level flight, is to:
(a) overcome yaw caused by lowered aileron on higher wing
(b) overcome yaw caused by lowered aileron on lower wing
(c) overcome yaw caused by raised aileron on higher wing
An aircraft is in a state of equilibrium in:
(a) a steady rate 1 turn
(b) in a steady climb
(c) during take off
Adverse aileron yaw is reduced by the use of:
(a) vortex generators
(b) frise type ailerons
(c) boundary layer fences
Flying near high ground or mountains with winds in excess of 15km, you can expect strong turbulence and down draughts. What would you do to avoid damaging the aircraft and / or loosing control?
(a) maintain your heading and speed
(b) slow down to manoeuvring speed
(c) slow down to manoeuvring speed and fly upwind of ridge
On a cold, clear, humid night with a light wind, radiation fog will form. What might form when the wind picks up to 15kts?
(a) dew
(b) frost
(c) stratus
Which clouds are the least likely to produce airframe icing?
(a) middle cloud
(b) high cloud
(c) vertical development cloud (CB)
