falsetrueTrue or False30s - Q7
The purpose of flaps is to....
increase gravity
increase thrust
Increase drag
decrease drag
30s - Q8
The purpose of the tail of the airplane is...
provide drag
To provide stability
provide lift
to help in landing
30s - Q9
The ailerons are located on the
inner wing
fuselage
outer wing
Horizontal stabilizer
30s - Q10
__________ is made for faster and longer distances.
planes
Propellers
jet engines
30s - Q11
What is a stall?
When the wings of the aircraft are not able to create enough lift to counteract the weight of the aircraft
When the centre of gravity and the centre of pressure are equal
When the boundary layer of air becomes turbulent
When the aircraft engine quits
30s - Q12
Why is it important for a pilot to do a weight and balance check before flying?
all of the other answers
A forward Center of Gravity can cause a higher stall speed
The pilot is responsible for the safe loading of an aircraft
An overloaded aircraft can cause a longer take-off roll and reduced climb performance
30s - Q13

induction, refraction, combustion, exhaust
induction, compression, combustion, exhaust
induction, compression, explosion, expression
suction, compression, explosion, exhaust
