Question 1

The stall warning will be activated just before reaching which speed?

Accepted Answer

VS

Answer

VNE

Answer

VX

Answer

VR

Question 2

Which constructive feature is shown in the figure? See figure (PFA-006) L: Lift

Accepted Answer

Lateral stability by wing dihedral

Answer

Longitudinal stability by wing dihedral

Answer

Differential aileron deflection

Answer

Directional stability by lift generation

Question 3

Compared to trailing edge flaps, leading edge devices like Slots...

Accepted Answer

Produce less drag while allowing a higher angle of attack.

Answer

Reduce the critical angle of attack at a given speed.

Answer

Allow higher speeds at take-off and landing.

Answer

Increase the camber and allow a lower angle of attack.

Question 4

Which point on the aerofoil is represented by number 1? See figure (PFA-009)

Accepted Answer

Stagnation point

Answer

Transition point

Answer

Centre of pressure

Answer

Separation point

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

It is the ratio of lift to weight and increases in manoeuvres such as level turns

Answer

It is fuel flow

Answer

It is always less than one in turns

Answer

It removes the need for aircraft control

Question 6

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 7

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 8

Stabilization around the lateral axis during cruise is achieved by the...

Accepted Answer

Horizontal stabilizer.

Answer

Ailerons.

Answer

Wing flaps.

Answer

Vertical rudder.

Question 9

Which option correctly describes ground effect?

Accepted Answer

It reduces induced drag close to the ground and can affect landing and take-off behaviour

Answer

It is used only after landing

Answer

It is a navigation radio error

Answer

It is a radio navigation effect

Question 10

Which principle of flight statement is correct? Parasite drag generally increases with...

Accepted Answer

speed squared

Answer

It is measured in litres

Answer

It prevents every stall

Answer

It occurs only in turbine aircraft
