JAR - Principle Of Flight Q&As
 

Just to jump on the Q&A's Bandwagon....
These are all feedback questions, got me through P of F with a fairly high mark!!!.

1

a) a higher TAS than at sea level
b) a lower TAS than at sea level at ISA conditions
c) the same TAS than at sea level
d) the same TAS, but an increase in IAS

2
What happends to static pressure as air flows through an expansion wave:

a) Increase
b) Decrease
c) stay the same
d) Initially increases then decreases

3
If the stalling speed in a 15 bank turn is 60kt, what would the stall speed be in a 45 bank?

a) 83kt
b) 70kt
c) 85kt
d) 60kt

4
Under which of the following conditions would a aircraft be most stable?

a) CG on the forward limit
b) CG on the aft limit
c) CG on the aft neutral limit
d) CG just forward of the neutral point

5
Which of the following is a correct design gust value?

a) 25ft/sec at VB
b) 50ft/sec st VC
c) 66ft/sec at VD
d) 55ft/sec at VD

6
What phenomena causes induced drag?

a) Wing tip vortices

8
If an aircraft is statically unstable it:

a) can never be dynamically stable
b) will always be dynamically stable
c) may or may not be dynamically stable
d) will only be dynamically stable at high speeds

9
