Question 1

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 2

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 3

The load factor in a level, coordinated turn with 60 degrees of bank is:

Accepted Answer

2.00 Gs

Answer

3.00 Gs.

Answer

1.00 G

Question 4

What is the maximum speed for performing steep turns?

Accepted Answer

Va - maneuvering speed

Answer

Vne - never exceed speed

Answer

Vfe - maximum flaps extended speed

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 7

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 8

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.

Question 9

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 10

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