Answer

Aileron down on the upwind wing

Answer

Aileron up on the downwind wing

Question 6

What is one purpose of wing flaps?

Accepted Answer

To enable the pilot to make steeper approaches to a landing without increasing the airspeed.

Answer

To relieve the pilot of maintaining continuous pressure on the controls.

Answer

To decrease wing area to vary the lift.

Question 7

Wingtip vortices are created only when an aircraft is

Accepted Answer

developing lift.

Answer

operating at high airspeeds.

Answer

heavily loaded.

three white lights and one red light

Answer

two white lights and two red lights

Answer

four white lights

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 10
