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

Question 1

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 2

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 3

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 4

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 5

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 6

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 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

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

Accepted Answer

attack

Answer

dihedral

Answer

incidence

Question 9

During a spin to the left, which wing(s) is/are stalled?

Accepted Answer

Both wings are stalled

Answer

Only the left wing is stalled

Answer

Neither wing is stalled

Question 10

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
