(Refer to figure 62.) In flying the rectangular course, when would the aircraft be turned less than 90°?

Accepted Answer

Corners 1 and 4

Answer

Corners 1 and 2

Answer

Corners 2 and 4

Question 3

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 4

(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 5

(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 6

(Refer to figure 72.) The positive limit load factor is represented by the

Accepted Answer

horizontal dashed line from C to point E

Answer

vertical solid line from D to G

Answer

vertical dashed line from E to F

Question 9

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
