Accepted Answer

Induced drag by wing tip vortices

Answer

Laminar airflow by wing tip vortices.

Answer

Profile drag by wing tip vortices.

Answer

Lift by wing tip vortices.

Question 5

Collisions during circling within thermal updrafts can be avoided by...

Accepted Answer

Coordination of plane movements with other aircrafts circling within the same updraft

Answer

Alternate circling with opposite directions in different heights.

Answer

Imitating the movements of the preceeding gliding plane.

Answer

Fast approach into the updraft and rapidly pulling the elevator for slower speed.

Question 6

Exceeding the maximum allowed aircraft mass is...

Accepted Answer

Not permissible and essentially dangerous

Answer

Compensated by the pilot's control inputs.

Answer

Only relevant if the excess is more than 10 %.

Answer

Exceptionally permissible to avoid delays

Question 7

Flying slow close to stall conditions, the left wings is lower than the right wing. How can the stall be prevented?

Accepted Answer

Push on the elevator, keep wings level with coordinated inputs on rudder and aileron

Answer

Aileron and rudder to the reight, gain some speed, push slightly on the elevator, all rudders neutral

Answer

Airleron to the right, push slighty on the elevator, gain some speed, all rudders neutral

Answer

Rudder left, push slightly on the elevator, gain some speed, all rudders neutral

Answer

Only the resulting total drag.

Answer

Gravity forces of the profile.

Answer

Gravity and aerodynamic forces.
