Exam quiz Slow Flight and Stalls - FAA PPL(A) - Private Pilot Airplane

Question 1

What is the critical angle of attack?

Accepted Answer

The point at which the wing will stall

Answer

The angle of attack that will achieve the greatest climb speed at a given altitude

Answer

The pitch angle that will create the best climb performance.

Question 2

(Refer to figure 1.) The acute angle A is the angle of

Accepted Answer

attack

Answer

dihedral

Answer

incidence

Question 3

During an approach to a stall, an increased load factor will cause the airplane to

Accepted Answer

stall at a higher airspeed

Answer

have a tendency to spin

Answer

be more difficult to control

Question 4

During a spin to the left, which wing(s) is/are stalled?

Accepted Answer

Both wings are stalled

Answer

Only the left wing is stalled

Answer

Neither wing is stalled

Question 5

As altitude increases, the indicated airspeed at which a given airplane stalls in a particular configuration will

Accepted Answer

remain the same regardless of altitude

Answer

decrease as the true airspeed increases

Answer

decrease as the true airspeed decreases

Question 6

The term 'angle of attack' is defined as the angle between the

Accepted Answer

chord line of the wing and the relative wind

Answer

airplane's center line and the relative wind

Answer

airplane's longitudinal axis and that of the air striking the airfoil.

Question 7

As the airplane slows down in flight, the angle of attack must be:

Accepted Answer

Increased to maintain altitude.

Answer

Remain the same

Answer

Decreased to maintain altitude.

Question 8

In slow flight, prior to a stalled condition:

Accepted Answer

The controls start to feel mushy—not as responsive

Answer

The nose of the airplane begins to bounce around the horizon.

Answer

The noise of the propeller increases

Question 9

A stall occurs when:

Accepted Answer

The smooth airflow over the wing becomes turbulent reducing lift

Answer

The airplane’s speed is too slow for straight and level flight

Answer

The nose of the airplane is too high above the horizon

Question 10

The use of flaps in slow flight:

Accepted Answer

May be used.

Answer

Can only be deployed ten degrees

Answer

Are never allowed to be used in slow flight

Question 11

In what flight condition must an aircraft be placed in order to spin?

Accepted Answer

Stalled

Answer

Partially stalled with one wing low

Answer

In a steep diving spiral

Question 12

The angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls will

Accepted Answer

remain the same regardless of gross weight

Answer

change with an increase in gross weight

Answer

increase if the CG is moved forward

Question 13

How is the stalling speed or minimum steady flight speed in the landing configuration symbolized?

Accepted Answer

VS0

Answer

VN0

Answer

Red radial line

Question 14

Changes in the center of pressure of a wing affect the aircraft's

Accepted Answer

aerodynamic balance and controllability

Answer

lift/drag ratio.

Answer

lifting capacity.

Question 15

The angle between the chord line of an airfoil and the relative wind is known as the angle of

Accepted Answer

attack

Answer

incidence

Answer

lift
