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

Question 1

When taking off or landing at an airport where heavy aircraft are operating, one should be particularly alert to the hazards of wingtip vortices because this turbulence tends to

Accepted Answer

sink into the flightpath of aircraft operating below the aircraft generating the turbulence

Answer

rise from a crossing runway into the takeoff or landing path

Answer

rise into the traffic pattern area surrounding the airport

Question 2

What is the difference between a normal landing and a crosswind landing?

Accepted Answer

Aileron up on the upwind wing

Answer

Aileron down on the upwind wing

Answer

Aileron up on the downwind wing

Question 3

While approaching to land on Runway 17 at an uncontrolled airport, you spot a lake on the east side of the airport which has ripples in the water at the southeastern edge. How should you proceed?

Accepted Answer

Check the windsock on the airfield to make the correct determination with runway choice

Answer

Change your approach and land on runway 35

Answer

Continue with your approach and land on runway 17

Question 4

Floating caused by the phenomenon of ground effect will be most realized during an approach to land when at

Accepted Answer

less than the length of the wingspan above the surface

Answer

twice the length of the wingspan above the surface

Answer

a higher-than-normal angle of attack

Question 5

What is wake turbulence?

Accepted Answer

The counter rotating vortices off the wingtips of an airplane generating lift

Answer

The air trailing behind an aircraft due to its prop wash while on the ground

Answer

The air trailing behind an aircraft due to its prop wash in flight

Question 6

The greatest vortex strength occurs when the generating aircraft is

Accepted Answer

heavy, clean, and slow

Answer

heavy, dirty, and fast

Answer

light, dirty, and fast

Question 7

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 8

What is likely to occur if you lift off the runway before reaching rotation speed due to ground effect?

Accepted Answer

Inability to climb

Answer

Increase in stability

Answer

Decrease in thrust required to maintain flight

Question 9

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 10

(Refer to figure 47.) While on final approach to a runway equipped with a standard 2-bar VASI, the lights appear as shown by illustration D. This means that the aircraft is

Accepted Answer

below the glide slope

Answer

on the glide slope

Answer

above the glide slope
