Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

attack

Answer

Answer

incidence

Question 2

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

Question 3

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 4

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 5

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 6

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 7

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 8

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 9

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 10

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
