100

This acts perpendicular to the relative airflow.

What is lift.

100

A decrease in power with no change in pitch will lead to this.

What is a lowering of the nose, causing a descent

100

This is what you should use if your weight is between two performance table values

What is the higher/heavier weight

100

The instrument is graded in increments between these 2 values

What is 0.0 to 1.0

100

This is critical to flight safety

What is ensuring the W&B is within limits

200

The maximum lift to drag ratio is found at this airspeed.

What is best range.

200

These 3 major factors affect density altitude negatively

What is Hot, High, Humid

200

What is an increased stall speed, but easier to recover from stall.

What is a Forward CoG

200

These are the types of performance charts for landing.

What is Factored and Unfactored.

200

This is arguably the Mose serious problem caused by the CG being too far forward

What is lack of sufficient elevator authority

300

This is a by-product of lift.

What is induced drag

300

This makes aircraft performance worse further from the earth.

What is high density altitude

300

This is what your altimeter would read if you rotated it to 29.92 if the current altimeter setting is 30.42 and you're at 4500ft

What is 4000ft

300

Aircraft usually under 12500 use this part of the CRFI landing distances

What is unfactored

300

This is an imaginary vertical line from which all arm measurements are taken from

What is the Datum (reference Datum)

400

This is directly proportional to aircraft speed.

What is parasite Drag

400

A drop in the outside wing.

What is a climbing stall.

400

This should be done before using a T/O chart in an AFM (3/3)

What is:

Read the chart notes

Determine PA

Determine Wind

400

This type of runway contamination could produce the minimum braking capability

What is Bare Ice

400

This is what each value in the weight shift formula represents

What is:

w =  weight of the object to be moved

W = Gross weight of the aircraft

d = Number of inches that the CofG must be moved

D = Distance between cargo compartments 

500

The amount of lift produced by an aircraft can change depending on those factors? (4/5 Answers)

ØThe thickness and width of the wing

ØThe wing design, such as a swept back wing or delta wing 

ØThe aircraft angle of attack 

ØThe relative airspeed of the aircraft

ØDensity altitude 

500

These are things that a turbocharged engine cannot overcome. (3/4)

What is:

•Decreased propeller efficiency

•Increased TAS

•Decreased climb gradients

•Increased take-off/landing roll 

500

To find The maximum T/O weight for a given runway length, you must do this.

What is work the chart from 2 directions.

500

The CRFI is distributed whenever these conditions occur. (5/5)

•Slush or wet snow

•Loose snow exceeding ¼ inch

•Runway full width is not cleared

•Compacted snow, ice or frost

•CRFI reading is ≤0.40

500

Overloaded aircraft reduce these flight performances

What is:

§Higher takeoff speed 

§Longer takeoff run 

§Reduced rate and angle of climb 

§Reduced maneuverability 

§Higher stalling speed 

§Longer landing roll
