Airfoil: An imaginary straight line joining the leading and trailing edges of the wing.
What is a chord
100
two types of air pressure inthe pitot static system
What is pitot pressure, and static pressure
100
Fuel types: A substance which possesses minimum detonating qualities
What is Octane
100
a rapid and irregular change of wind speed and may be associated with a rapid change in wind direction
What are Gusts
200
Thickest at 25 percent of the chord and can be found in a variety of shapes and designs.
What is a conventional airfoil
200
The increase in air pressure caused by the forward motion of the aircraft through the air
What is Pitot pressure.
200
Fuel types: A substance which possesses maximum detonating qualities
What is Heptane
200
a sudden increase in the strength of the wind of longer duration than a gust and like a gust, maybe accompanied by a rapid change of wind direction.
What are squalls
300
rectangular,
elliptical (rounded)
delta (swept)
What are the three general wing shapes
300
ASI Errors: The uncorrected airspeed read from the instrument dial.
What is indicated airspeed (IAS).
300
An aircraft with low-wing configuration uses a pressure-feed system.
What fuel-feed system does an aircraft with low-wing configuration use?
300
a bumpy, turbulent condition that occurs in a cloudless sky.
What is Clear Air Turbulence (CAT)
400
Located at the trailing edge, their primary purposeis to increase lift by changing the camber of the wing
What are flaps
400
ASI Errors: The pressure altitude corrected for temperature
What is density altitude.
400
The fuel selector valve is used by the pilot to select the desired fuel tank to draw fuel. The selector valve may also be used to shut off the flow of fuel from the tanks.
What is the fuel selector valve used?
400
narrow bands of exceedingly high speed winds that exist in the higher levels of the atmosphere at altitudes ranging from 20 000 to 40 000 feet or more.
What are jet streams?
500
A device on a wing that are used to decrease the lift and increase the drag being produced
What are spoilers
500
tendency of a rotating object to remain in its plane of rotation.
What is gyroscopic inertia
500
The general rules when using a manual mixture control
What is rich mixtures high power settings and leaner mixtures cruise power settings.
500
Clear air turbulence is most likely to occur just above the central core of a jet stream
where is clear air turbulence most likely to occur?
