100
Who had the first successful controled flight of an aircraft using a motor?
The Wright Brother
100
why does Our Cesna 172A have slits in the engine while looking at the propeler from the front of thr aircraft?
to increase airflow and to cool the engine since it is a aircooled one and not one based off of coolant or another type of cooling system
100
Which oxygen system employs a regulator that operates only when the user inhales?
Demand-Flow System.
100
Identify the Ailerons on a plane using the provided image
100
why is the AWOS so important?
to see if the weather is good for Flying
200
what german aircraft caused one of the biggest explosions known to areo history?
The Hindenberg
200
why did early 1920s-1940s planes need to have their propeller turned to start it?
Because most Early aircraft often lacked heavy, complex electric starters, making hand propping the simplest way to get the engine turning fast enough to generate a spark from the magnetos.
200
What frequency would you use in the event of an emergency?
121.5 MHz
200
These create lift and often contain fuel tanks and flaps. what are they?
Wings
200
do charts expire and if so how long are they valid for?
yes, and 56 days
300
who is one of the most famous pilots during World War one?
Britain's Billy Bishop (72 kills, either downed or kill confirmed)
300
This part sits on top of the engine block and houses the valves and spark plugs, What is it called
The Cylinder Head
300
how much altitude loss on the steep turn can you have?
100ft +/-
300
what is The central structural component of an aircraft that connects wings, tail, and landing gear.
The Fuselage
300
what does the pink and blue airports mean?
Blue: weather is provided through ATIS, tower
Pink: weather is provided by a computer, no tower
400
This pilot made the first solo transatlantic flight in 1927, flying from New York to Paris, Who is He?
Charles Lindbergh, Amerlia Earhart was the female equivalent.
400
How do you get rid of Carburator icing?
apply full carburetor heat, which introduces warm air to melt the ice, and leave it on until the engine runs smoothly and power returns OR do a Detonation
Aiden can explain that part.
400
When required, what class of medical certificate must a student pilot have?
Third-class, but none for sport pilot training
400
where is the fuel intake on a cesna 172A?
on the top of each wing is a fuel cap which is where the aircraft is fueled from (not all aircraft are like this though)
400
Where is the Biggest Aircraft Obstacle on the provided chart? (look for numbers)
about 3200 feet up most likely a Cell tower
look for the 32 on the map the big 3 refers to the thousands of feet the smaller on refers to the hundreds
500
During WWII, these four-engine bombers were known as the "Flying Fortress" what were they called. and in the cold war what plane replaced it?
the B-17 and then the later B-52 "StratoFortress" which was a long rage higher altitude Bomber
500
what happens when you lose a fuel pump for a electrical pump on an aircraft?
failure can cause immediate engine issues or quitting, not able to go full throttle due to not being able to push the required ammount of fuel into the engine or shorting the electrical system.
500
what are some Private pilots License privileges and limitations?
-Flight in the appropriate aircraft for the rating possessed.
-For non-commercial purposes
-Under visual flight rules (VFR)
500
Whats the Difference Between a Spoileron and an Aileron
A Spoileron is an aircraft control surface that acts as both a spoiler (disrupts airflow to reduce lift and increase drag) and an aileron (controls roll), by deploying asymmetrically to bank the aircraft.
an Aileron is used in pairs to control the aircraft's roll (banking) by moving in opposite directions, allowing it to turn.
500
What is the most restrictive AirSpace Based off the Section Chart provided?
Bravo BUT it can also be TFR over George Bush's house get the george bush's hosue for an extra 200 points.
