AERODYNAMICS + FLIGHT CONTROLS
The four forces of flight
What is lift, thrust, weight and drag?
VFR and IFR unabbreviated
Duration of a third class medical if under the age of 40
What is 60 calendar months? 5 years is also an adequate answer.
A way to find your pressure altitude
What is set your altimeter to 29.92 and read indicated altitude, use the formula, use the E6B, or use the chart?
Maximum takeoff weight of N1433F
What is 2300lbs?
The three axes about which an airplane rotates
What is the Vertical, Longitudinal, and Lateral axis?
Three classes of controlled airspace
What is class A,B,C,D, and/or E?
While taking your friend on a fun flight, they become euphoric and have tingling in their extremities (fingers or toes). What is the cause?
Temperature and pressure on a standard day at sea level
What is 15 degrees Celsius or 59 degrees Fahrenheit, and 29.92 inches of mercury or 1013.2 millibars?
Center of gravity defined
What is the point at which if the plane were hung from an imaginary rope it would balance?
Also acceptable:
What is the total moment divided by the total weight?
Name three of the four left-turning tendencies
What is P-factor, Spiral Slipstream, Torque, and/or Gyroscopic Precession?
The way class D airspace is depicted on a VFR sectional chart
What is blue, dashed lines?
IMSAFE checklist unabbreviated
What is Illness, Medication, Sleep, Alcohol, Fatigue, and Emotion?
Three conditions that directly affect air density
What is atmospheric pressure (PA), temperature, and humidity?
The two W&B categories of N1433F, AND their ranges. Notes allowed
What is
Normal 3.8 to -1.52 Gs
Utility 4.4 to -1.76 Gs
Where induced drag and parasitic drag meet
What is L/D max? also acceptable: Glide speed
Class B requirements concerning, clearance, equipment, and pilot certification
What is a specific clearance required '1433F cleared through Bravo via...', Mode C transponder and ADS-B out, and a private pilot or seeking private pilot (student pilot properly endorsed)?
Certifications required on board, concerning the aircraft
What is SPARROW
Supplements, Placards, Airworthiness certificate, Registration certificate, Radio operators license (international), pilot's Operating handbook (POH or AFM), Weight and balance?
Three ways a high density altitude negatively affects our performance
What is less air to push with the propeller, less allowable fuel in the cylinders due to less air density, and a reduction in lift from the wings?
The preferred balance of an airliner. The preferred balance for us
What is AFT C.G for an airliner and FWD C.G for us?
During cruise flight you encounter a pocket of upwards turbulence. Without any input, the pilot notices that the plane eventually corrects back to straight and level flight. These design characteristics can be determined. Notes are allowed
What is positive static and dynamic stability?
Three depictions of class E airspace
What are magenta dashed lines (SFC), magenta faded lines (700' AGL), blue faded lines (1,200' AGL), and/or blue zipper (as depicted)?
Upon your preflight inspection, you notice your fuel gauge, attitude indicator, and airspeed indicator were inoperative. Which of these instruments, if any, are you allowed to fly without? What must be done before flying with inoperative equipment that is not necessary to the safety of the flight?
What is the attitude indicator? 'Allowable' inoperative equipment must be deactivated, marked 'INOP' and a maintenance entry must be made before flight.
Using the formula ONLY, determine the Pressure Altitude and Density Altitude. Notes are allowed.
Field elevation: 8000' MSL
Current altimeter setting: 30.14
Outside air temperature: 9 degrees Celsius
What is
PA = 7780'
DA = 8980'
Weight changes our maneuvering speed. How?
What is the heavier we are the higher angle of attack we need for a given airspeed. Therefore, the heavier we are the closer we are to our critical angle of attack, or the closer we are to stalling. Since the purpose of maneuvering speed is to cause the airplane to stall before any structural damage can occur due to excessive Gs, the heavier airplane will be allowed to have a higher maneuvering speed. The lighter plane will have a lower maneuvering speed because a slower speed prevents structural damage, which is especially important when the lighter plane has more 'play' before it stalls with its lower AoA.
