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

Question 1

How does the wake turbulence vortex circulate around each wingtip?

Accepted Answer

Outward, upward, and around each tip

Answer

Inward, upward, and counterclockwise

Answer

Inward, upward, and around each tip

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

(Refer to figure 48) ATC instructs you to line up and wait for takeoff on runway 12, while another heavy airplane lands on runway 17R. While waiting on runway 12, you observe the jet touchdown past the runway intersection. How will the vortices affect your takeoff? The winds are from 120° at 5 knots.

Accepted Answer

The vortices will be pushed into your takeoff path

Answer

The vortices will rise and stay clear of your path

Answer

The vortices will dissipate in the light wind

Question 4

(Refer to figure 49.) If the wind is as shown by the landing direction indicator, the pilot should land on

Accepted Answer

Runway 18 and expect a crosswind from the right

Answer

Runway 36 and expect a crosswind from the right

Answer

Runway 22 directly into the wind

Question 5

(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 6

When a plane comes out of ground effect with a deficiency in speed due to increased drag, it will experience:

Accepted Answer

Momentary loss in climb performance

Answer

Negative pitch attitude

Answer

Decrease in thrust required

Question 7

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 8

One of the main functions of flaps during approach and landing is to

Accepted Answer

increase the angle of descent without increasing the airspeed

Answer

permit a touchdown at a higher indicated airspeed

Answer

decrease the angle of descent without increasing the airspeed

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

When departing behind a heavy aircraft, the pilot should avoid wake turbulence by maneuvering the aircraft

Accepted Answer

above and upwind from the heavy aircraft

Answer

below and upwind from the heavy aircraft

Answer

below and downwind from the heavy aircraft
