Performance and Ground Reference Maneuvers - FAA PPL(A) - Private Pilot Airplane

Question 1

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 2

What is the load factor on an airplane flying a 45 degree steep turn at a level altitude?

Accepted Answer

1.4 Gs

Answer

2.4 Gs

Answer

2.0 Gs

Question 3

(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 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

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 6

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 7

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 8

(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 9

(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 10

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
