Question 1

Which practical rule applies to best angle and best rate climb?

Accepted Answer

Best angle gives maximum height gain per distance and best rate gives maximum height gain per time

Answer

It is determined only by QNH

Answer

Best rate gives shortest ground distance

Answer

It changes aircraft registration

Question 2

In normal private flying, which statement about centre of gravity and stability is correct?

Accepted Answer

CG position affects longitudinal stability and control forces

Answer

It applies only on the ground

Answer

It is unrelated to angle of attack

Answer

It replaces trim

Question 3

For a VFR private pilot, what should be remembered about flaps?

Accepted Answer

They increase lift and drag and change pitching moments

Answer

It prevents every stall

Answer

It is used only after landing

Answer

It changes aircraft registration

Question 4

Differential aileron deflection is used to...

Accepted Answer

Keep the adverse yaw low

Answer

Avoid a stall at low angles of attack

Answer

Increase the rate of descent

Answer

Reduce wake turbulence

Question 5

For safe PPL(A) operation, how should best glide speed be understood?

Accepted Answer

It gives the best still-air glide range when flown at the published mass or corrected as required

Answer

It replaces trim

Answer

It cancels drag

Answer

It gives minimum sink in every aircraft

Question 6

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 7

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 8

Provided that no other procedure is described in the Aircraft Operating Handbook, after increasing the engine power in a go-around, the flaps may...

Accepted Answer

Be retracted to a middle position

Answer

Not be operated up to the minimum safe altitude

Answer

Be fully retracted without any delay

Answer

Remain fully extended until reaching the traffic pattern

Question 9

Number 2 in the drawing corresponds to the... See figure (PFA-010)

Accepted Answer

Chord.

Answer

Chord line.

Answer

Angle of attack.

Answer

Profile thickness.

Question 10

For a VFR private pilot, what should be remembered about induced drag?

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

It occurs only in turbine aircraft

Answer

It is highest at zero lift

Answer

It changes aircraft registration
