Principle of Flight - EASA PPL(A) - Private Pilot License

Question 1

Which statement about angle of attack is correct for a PPL(A) pilot?

Accepted Answer

Increasing angle of attack increases lift only up to the critical angle

Answer

Lift increases forever

Answer

Angle of attack is the same as pitch attitude

Answer

It is set by QNH

Question 2

Which practical rule applies to centre of gravity and stability?

Accepted Answer

CG position affects longitudinal stability and control forces

Answer

It changes aircraft registration

Answer

It prevents every stall

Answer

It is used only after landing

Question 3

What is the correct operational meaning of spin?

Accepted Answer

It involves stalled autorotation and requires prompt correct recovery action

Answer

It changes aircraft registration

Answer

It is unrelated to angle of attack

Answer

It prevents every stall

Question 4

Which statement regarding the "constant-speed propeller" is correct?

Accepted Answer

The pitch of the propeller rises with higher speeds

Answer

The propeller keeps the airspeed constant

Answer

The RPM decreases with lower speeds

Answer

The set RPM is kept constant by the motor power (MAP)

Question 5

The change in pitch at a propeller blade from the root to the tip ensures...

Accepted Answer

A nearly constant load by a constant effective angle of attack over the entire length of the blade

Answer

That the most thrust is produced at the blade tip

Answer

That the most thrust is produced at the blade root

Answer

The largest possible angle of attack at the blade tip

Question 6

In normal private flying, which statement about angle of attack is correct?

Accepted Answer

Increasing angle of attack increases lift only up to the critical angle

Answer

Angle of attack is the same as pitch attitude

Answer

It applies only on the ground

Answer

It prevents every stall

Question 7

What is meant by "ground effect"?

Accepted Answer

Increase of lift and decrease of induced drag close to the ground

Answer

Increase of lift and increase of induced drag close to the ground

Answer

Decrease of lift and increase of induced drag close to the ground

Answer

Decrease of lift and decrease of induced drag close to the ground

Question 8

During a local VFR flight, which option correctly describes induced drag?

Accepted Answer

It is associated with lift and is greater at low speed and high lift coefficient

Answer

It is a runway lighting signal

Answer

It affects only passengers

Answer

It disappears near the stall

Question 9

In normal private flying, which statement about spiral dive is correct?

Accepted Answer

It is a steep descending turn with increasing airspeed and unstalled wings

Answer

It is used only after landing

Answer

It removes the need for aircraft control

Answer

It is measured in litres

Question 10

What describes "wing loading"?

Accepted Answer

Weight per wing area

Answer

Drag per wing area

Answer

Drag per weight

Answer

Wing area per weight
