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

Question 1

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 2

What airspeed should be flown during a stabilized approach?

Accepted Answer

The landing speed specified in the POH or AFM, +10/-5 KIAS

Answer

The speed at the bottom of the green arc on the airspeed indicator, +/- 10 KIAS

Answer

1.5 times Vso, plus the gust factor

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

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 5

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 6

To minimize the side loads placed on the landing gear during touchdown, the pilot should keep the

Accepted Answer

longitudinal axis of the aircraft parallel to the direction of its motion

Answer

direction of motion of the aircraft parallel to the runway

Answer

downwind wing lowered sufficiently to eliminate the tendency for the aircraft to drift

Question 7

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 8

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

Question 9

Who should not participate in the Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO) program?

Accepted Answer

Student pilots

Answer

Military pilots

Answer

Recreational pilots only

Question 10

(Refer to figure 47.) VASI lights as shown by illustration C indicate that the airplane is

Accepted Answer

above the glide slope

Answer

off course to the left

Answer

below the glide slope
