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

Question 1

What condition applies when taking off at a high density altitude?

Accepted Answer

Higher induced drag

Answer

Lower induced drag

Answer

Shorter takeoff roll

Question 2

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 3

What action should you take if your approach becomes unstable when less than 500’ above the height of the runway?

Accepted Answer

Go-around

Answer

Adjust pitch/power as necessary to re-establish a stabilized approach

Answer

Retract the flaps

Question 4

What must a pilot be aware of as a result of ground effect?

Accepted Answer

Induced drag decreases; therefore, any excess speed at the point of flare may cause considerable floating

Answer

Wingtip vortices increase creating wake turbulence problems for arriving and departing aircraft

Answer

A full stall landing will require less up elevator deflection than would a full stall when done free of ground effect

Question 5

Wingtip vortices created by large aircraft tend to

Accepted Answer

sink below the aircraft generating turbulence

Answer

rise into the traffic pattern

Answer

rise into the takeoff or landing path of a crossing runway

Question 6

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 7

(Refer to figure 49.) Select the proper traffic pattern and runway for landing.

Accepted Answer

Right-hand traffic and Runway 18

Answer

Left-hand traffic and Runway 22

Answer

Left-hand traffic and Runway 18

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

(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

Question 10

If you land without the use of flaps, the approach will be:

Accepted Answer

Faster and shallower

Answer

Slower and steeper

Answer

Slower and shallower
