Vfe - maximum flaps extended speed

Question 4

While attempting a level turn, you begin to lose altitude. In addition to the natural horizon, what should you reference to make a correction?

Accepted Answer

Flight Instruments

Answer

GPS moving map

Answer

Tachometer

Question 5

Maneuvering speed is:

Accepted Answer

Not marked on the airspeed indicator.

Answer

The top of the green arc on the airspeed indicator.

Answer

Represented by the red line on the airspeed indicator

Question 6

What input is required to maintain altitude during steep turns?

Accepted Answer

Back pressure on the yoke

Answer

Aileron in the opposite direction of the turn

Answer

Increase power

Question 7

The load factor on an airplane increases with:

Accepted Answer

Increase in weight, steep turns, and abrupt changes in airplane attitude.

Answer

Any moderate change in pitch attitude, increase in weight, and steep turns.

Answer

Increase in weight, an increase in power, and any moderate pitch change.

Question 8

The ground reference maneuver, rectangular course, represents:

Accepted Answer

An airport traffic pattern.

Answer

An emergency landing situation

Answer

An engine out emergency landing scenario

Question 9

(Refer to Figure 72) What does the vertical line connecting points E and F represent on the airspeed indicator?

Accepted Answer

The red line

Answer

The top of the normal operating range.

Answer

The top of the white arc.

Question 10

In flying an S-Turn, the greatest amount of crab occurs:

Accepted Answer

At the point where the airplane is directly crosswind

Answer

As the airplane turns upwind

Answer

At a point when the airplane turns directly downwind

Question 11

(Refer to figure 66.) While practicing S-turns, a consistently smaller half-circle is made on one side of the road than on the other, and this turn is not completed before crossing the road or reference line. This would most likely occur in turn

Accepted Answer

4-5-6 because the bank is increased too rapidly during the early part of the turn.

Answer

1-2-3 because the bank is decreased too rapidly during the latter part of the turn.

Answer

4-5-6 because the bank is increased too slowly during the latter part of the turn.

Question 12

The load factor on any airplane during a constant altitude turn is determined by:

Accepted Answer

Bank alone

Answer

The type of aircraft being flown

Answer

Airspeed

Question 13

Accepted Answer

Corners 1 and 4.

Answer

Corners 1 and 2.

Answer

Corners 2 and 4

Question 14

When flying the crosswind leg of a rectangular course the airplane must be:

Accepted Answer

Crabbed into the wind.

Answer

Flown without any crab

Answer

Crabbed away from the wind.
