Slow Flight and Stalls - FAA PPL(A) - Private Pilot Airplane

Question 1

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 2

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.

Question 3

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 4

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 5

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 6

As altitude increases, the indicated airspeed at which a given airplane stalls in a particular configuration will

Accepted Answer

remain the same regardless of altitude

Answer

decrease as the true airspeed increases

Answer

decrease as the true airspeed decreases

Question 7

As the airplane slows down in flight, the angle of attack must be:

Accepted Answer

Increased to maintain altitude.

Answer

Remain the same

Answer

Decreased to maintain altitude.

Question 8

During an approach to a stall, an increased load factor will cause the airplane to

Accepted Answer

stall at a higher airspeed

Answer

have a tendency to spin

Answer

be more difficult to control

Question 9

Changes in the center of pressure of a wing affect the aircraft's

Accepted Answer

aerodynamic balance and controllability

Answer

lift/drag ratio.

Answer

lifting capacity.

Question 10

How is the stalling speed or minimum steady flight speed in the landing configuration symbolized?

Accepted Answer

VS0

Answer

VN0

Answer

Red radial line
