100

This force pulls the aircraft toward the Earth.

This wind-related effect occurs when wind speed increases as it flows over hills or ridges, causing?

200

The force that acts opposite to thrust and slows the aircraft down.

 Drag.

What is the maximum flap setting in degrees on a Cessna 152.

30 Degrees
300

Before flying, you check the weather by looking at this type of report.

This law explains that an object will stay at rest or keep moving in a straight line unless acted on by a force.

Newtons first law of motion.

300

What is the wingspan of the Cessna 152

400

When the dew point and air temperature are close together, you might expect this to form.

Fog.

400

When flying VFR, pilots must obey instructions given by this authority in controlled airspace.

 ATC (Air Traffic Control

400

This term describes the weather conditions that allow a pilot to fly under VFR.

Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC)

400

As air moves faster over the top of a wing, the pressure drops. This is explained by this principle.

Bernoulli’s Principle.

400

How is the airspeed of the Cessna 152 determined

The pitot tube

500

These high-altitude clouds often appear thin and wispy and are made of ice crystals.

Cirrus clouds

500

What is the Minimum Visibility required for a VFR flight

5 kilometers
500

What is a jet stream and how are they used

Jet streams are high speed winds that go in a certain direction that airliners use to travel faster and longer.

500

How does Rain typically affect Lift

According to the Coanda Effect; A fluid stream tends to follow the contour of a curved surface. Air sticks to the curved upper surface of the wing and is deflected downward, contributing to lift. (newtons version)

500

What is the name of the system that diverts warm air into the engine

carburetor.
