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

Question 1

After takeoff, which airspeed would the pilot use to gain the most altitude in a given period of time?

Accepted Answer

VY

Answer

VA

Answer

VX

Question 2

When landing behind a large aircraft, the pilot should avoid wake turbulence by staying

Accepted Answer

above the large aircraft's final approach path and landing beyond the large aircraft's touchdown point

Answer

below the large aircraft's final approach path and landing before the large aircraft's touchdown point

Answer

above the large aircraft's final approach path and landing before the large aircraft's touchdown point

Question 3

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 4

A slightly high glide slope indication from a precision approach path indicator is

Accepted Answer

three white lights and one red light

Answer

two white lights and two red lights

Answer

four white lights

Question 5

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 6

(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

Question 7

What is ground effect?

Accepted Answer

The result of the interference of the surface of the Earth with the airflow patterns about an airplane

Answer

The result of the disruption of the airflow patterns about the wings of an airplane to the point where the wings will no longer support the airplane in flight

Answer

The result of an alteration in airflow patterns increasing induced drag about the wings of an airplane

Question 8

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

Question 9

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 10

When should you reject a landing when on the final approach leg?

Accepted Answer

If the approach is unstable

Answer

If the visibility drops to 5 statute miles

Answer

If another airplane turns final behind you in the pattern
