Potluck
100
This is the elevation in feet an aircraft is above the terrain
What is AGL?
100
These are the 3 axes of flight
What are lateral, vertical & longitudinal?
100
These are the 4 forces of flight
What are lift, weight, thrust & drag
100
This states that the higher velocity a fluid moves the lower the pressure
What is Bernoulli's Principle?
100
You should begin practicing spin recovery on your own at this point in your training....
NEVER!!!
200
This is the only flight instrument that relies on both the pitot-tube and the static port
What is the airspeed indicator?
200
This refers to a one time reaction when a plane's equilibrium is disturbed
What is Static Stability?
200
This happens to longitudinal stability when you increase throttle/power
What is the nose will raise?
200
This is the imaginary line between the leading edge of the wing and the trailing edge
What is the Chord?
200
This causes a spin...
What is an Uncoordinated Stall?
Or
What is one wing stalls before/more than the other?
300
This memory device can be used when adjusting for an error due to accelerating or decelerating?
What is ANDS
300
The graph represents this type of stability
What is Negative Dynamic Stability?
300
Low wing planes have a greater dihedral because of this...
What is a lower center of gravity?
300
This is ultimately what creates a stall where the wing no longer produces lift
What is the Critical Angle of Attack?
300
Compass errors that result from acceleration, deceleration or a turn from a north or south heading are generally referred to as this...
What is Compass Dip Errors?
400
When traveling north and make a turn to the east, your compass will likely do this….
What is indicate an initial turn to the west before catching up?
Or what is lag behind?
400
This axis is involved with longitudinal stability
What is the lateral axis?
400
This is designed into the aircraft so that the angle of incidence at the wing root is greater than the angle of incidence at the wing tip
What is wing twist?
400
This refers to the amount of curvature on the top of the wing that helps produce lift
What is Camber?
400
Identify the 3 forms of drag & give an example of each
What is Total drag, Induced drag & Parasite drag
500
This type of turn is indicated...
What is a Skid?
500
This diagram represents this type of stability
What is Positive Longitudinal Stability?
500
This provides a balancing force when an aircraft is dynamically positive so the nose doesn't drop
What is a tail down force?
500
Flaps increase lift by doing these 2 things...
What is increasing camber and increasing angle of attack
500
Name the 3 types of spins & how to recover
What is Erect, Spiral & Inverted
What is reduce Power, level Ailerons, counter the spin with the Rudder and level the wings with the Elevator
