218 - EASA PPL(A) Theory Exam Questions in English - How should best angle and best rate climb be understood by a private pilot?

Question 218 - Principles of Flight (Aeroplane) - EASA PPL(A) - Private Pilot Licence (Aeroplane)

best angle maximises height gain per distance through the air in still air; best rate maximises height gain per time

Best angle and best rate speeds are identical in every condition

Best rate necessarily gives the shortest distance through the air to gain height

Best angle means maximum forward speed rather than climb gradient
