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

Question 1

In which mentioned situation is the total drag at its minimum?

Accepted Answer

Parasite drag is equal to induced drag

Answer

Induced drag is twice as much as parasite drag

Answer

Parasite drag is twice as much as induced drag

Answer

Induced drag is smaller than parasite drag

Question 2

Which statement about coordinated flight is correct for a PPL(A) pilot?

Accepted Answer

Balanced rudder and aileron use helps avoid sideslip and reduces stall/spin risk

Answer

The slip ball should be ignored

Answer

Coordination matters only on the ground

Answer

Uncoordinated flight always improves safety

Question 3

How should the pilot react to an engaged stall warning?

Accepted Answer

Push the elevator, increase power

Answer

Pull the elevator, increase power

Answer

Pull the elevator, decrease power

Answer

Raise the nose to decrease airspeed

Question 4

Stall speed in level flight is 55 kt. What is the approximate stall speed in a level 30° banked turn?

Accepted Answer

59 kt

Answer

55 kt

Answer

69 kt

Answer

49 kt

Question 5

Which practical rule applies to stall speed in a turn?

Accepted Answer

It increases as load factor increases

Answer

It applies only on the ground

Answer

It is measured in litres

Answer

It is a runway lighting signal

Question 6

Which principle of flight statement is correct? A balanced turn requires...

Accepted Answer

coordinated use of aileron and rudder

Answer

It is a runway lighting signal

Answer

It is determined only by QNH

Answer

rudder only

Question 7

For safe PPL(A) operation, how should flaps be understood?

Accepted Answer

They increase lift and drag and change pitching moments

Answer

It cancels drag

Answer

They remove stall risk

Answer

It removes the need for aircraft control

Question 8

When increasing the airflow speed by a factor of 2 while keeping all other parameters constant, how does the parasite drag change approximately?

Accepted Answer

It increases by a factor of 4

Answer

It decreases by a factor of 2

Answer

It increases by a factor of 2

Answer

It decreases by a factor of 4

Question 9

Which principle of flight statement is correct? Total drag is the sum of...

Accepted Answer

induced drag and parasite drag

Answer

It replaces trim

Answer

It occurs only in turbine aircraft

Answer

It affects only passengers

Question 10

Which statement describes a situation of static stability?

Accepted Answer

An aircraft distorted by external impact will return to the original position

Answer

An aircraft distorted by external impact will tend to an even more deflected position

Answer

An aircraft distorted by external impact can return to its original position by rudder input

Answer

An aircraft distorted by external impact will maintain the deflected position
