Takeoffs, Landings, and Go-Arounds - FAA PPL(A) - Private Pilot Airplane

Question 1

What can happen when a pilot experiences an illusion while approaching to land on a runway that is narrower than the typical runway width?

Accepted Answer

The pilot will fly a lower approach, with the risk of striking objects along the approach path or possibly landing short

Answer

Risk of the pilot leveling out the aircraft high and landing hard or overshooting the runway

Answer

The tendency to fly slower than the planned final approach speed

Question 2

(Refer to Figure 49) In flying over the airport you notice the position of the tetrahedron and segmented circle. What runway and traffic pattern entry should you use?

Accepted Answer

Right-hand traffic and Runway 18

Answer

Left-hand traffic and Runway 22

Answer

Left-hand traffic and Runway 18

Question 3

What will happen during takeoff if you attempt to leave ground effect without sufficient airspeed?

Accepted Answer

The airplane will experience a nose-down change in moment

Answer

The airplane will require a decrease in angle of attack to maintain the same amount of lift

Answer

What will happen during takeoff if you attempt to leave ground effect without sufficient airspeed?

Question 4

Why should pilots always fly a stabilized approach?

Accepted Answer

Reduces pilot workload

Answer

Eliminates the need to use a checklist

Answer

Requires less flaps to be used during landing

Question 5

A below glide slope indication from a pulsating approach slope indicator is a

Accepted Answer

pulsating red light

Answer

steady white light

Answer

pulsating white light

Question 6

An aircraft leaving ground effect during takeoff will

Accepted Answer

experience an increase in induced drag and a decrease in performance

Answer

experience a reduction in ground friction and require a slight power reduction

Answer

require a lower angle of attack to maintain the same lift coefficient

Question 7

A stabilized approach is one where the pilot:

Accepted Answer

Maintains a constant descent angle to a fixed point on the runway

Answer

Keeps adjusting the pitch attitude to maintain a constant speed to the runway

Answer

Keeps adjusting the speed to maintain a constant pitch attitude toward the runway

Question 8

Which approach and landing objective is assured when the pilot remains on the proper glidepath of the VASI?

Accepted Answer

Safe obstruction clearance in the approach area

Answer

Lateral course guidance to the runway

Answer

Runway identification and course guidance

Question 9

Most U.S. built aircraft engines rotate the propeller clockwise, as viewed from the pilot’s seat. When the aircraft’s wheels are on the ground during the takeoff roll, torque reaction causes:

Accepted Answer

More weight to be placed on the left main landing gear

Answer

More weight to be placed on the right main landing gear

Answer

There is no torque reaction as long as the airplane’s wheels are on the ground

Question 10

Ground effect is most likely to result in which problem?

Accepted Answer

Becoming airborne before reaching recommended takeoff speed

Answer

Inability to get airborne even though airspeed is sufficient for normal takeoff needs

Answer

Settling to the surface abruptly during landing
