Thrust & Drag
This is the most common type of variable-pitch propeller.
constant-speed propeller
In this type of stability, there is no movement either toward or away from the direction of displacement.
Neutral Stability
This primary flight control causes motion around the yaw axis.
Rudder
Prior to takeoff, the altimeter should be set to this altitude or altimeter setting.
The current local altimeter setting, if available, or the departure airport elevation.
These are the three primary gyroscopic instruments used in aircraft.
Attitude indicator, heading indicator, turn coordinator
TRUE or FALSE: All sections of a propeller move together at the same velocity.
False
An airplane exhibits this type of stability when it moves further from its original attitude as amplitude increases with each oscillation.
Negative Dynamic Stability
This secondary flight control is located on top of the wing.
Spoilers
This altitude is the vertical distance of the aircraft above sea level.
True altitude
These are the two main physical principles that make gyroscopes useful in aircraft instrumentation.
Rigidity in space and Precession.
The purpose of this stage of a jet engine is to increase the pressure of the air.
Compressor
TRUE or FALSE: An airplane can have stability around its lateral, longitudinal, and vertical axes.
True
This type of flap moves backwards on a track that extends beyond the trailing edge.
Fowler
If a flight is made from an area of low pressure into an area of high pressure without the altimeter being adjusted, the altimeter will indicate this.
Lower than the actual altitude above sea level.
This provides direction and navigation information in a single display.
Heading Indicator
Induced drag is highest at low speeds and high ___________.
Angles of attack
Name an aircraft design feature that provides roll stability.
Dihedral, high-wing placement, or swept wings
True or False: A pilot would need to deploy spoilers in a climb.
False
TRUE or FALSE: The pitot static system powers the altimeter, vertical speed indicator (VSI), and the airspeed indicator.
True
The two main types of electronic flight display are these.
Primary flight display (PFD) and Multi-function display (MFD).
This type of parasite drag is created when airflow from different aircraft components interacts and mixes at their junctions.
Interference drag
An out-of-CG condition that most affects stability is around this axis.
Pitch
Trim systems are designed to do this.
Relieve the pilot of the need to maintain constant pressure on the flight controls.
This instrument will become inoperative if the pitot tube becomes clogged.
Airspeed indicator
The Air Data Computer (ADC) controls these instruments.
Airspeed indicator, altimeter, VSI
