Operating an aircraft knowing that It has a flat battery:

is not recommended, as the alternator may not fully charge the battery during normal operations.

is a normal practice, as the battery is not required during normal operations.

is normal practice, because the alternator will charge the battery during fligh

The movement of an aeroplane about its normal (vertical) axis is known as:

rolling.

yawing.

side slipping.

All aircraft have prescribed positive and negative 'G' load limits which form part of the Certificate of Airworthiness. If it is suspected that the positive 'G' load limit has been exceeded if only for a short period and by a small amount:

no action is necessary as the maximum certificated loading limits are by design 20% below the value of structural failure.

primary structural damage or failure could have occurred and the aircraft must not be flown again until inspected by a qualified engineer.

the aircraft commander should carry out a walk round inspection on landing and if satisfied with the structural integrity of the aircraft, take no further action

Minor aircraft maintenance which a private pilot is legally permitted to carry out:

is not required to be recorded.

must be entered in a log book and certified by the pilot concerned.

must be entered in a log book and certified by a licensed engineer.

The speed at which a particular aircraft stalls whilst in straight and level flight is 60kt. The approximate stalling speed of the same aircraft in a 60° bank turn would be:

84kt.

75kt.

90kt.

When compared with perfectly dry air at the same temperature and pressure, air which contains a maximum amount of water vapour will have a

lower density

similar density

greater density

An aircraft piston engine designed with a dry sump lubricating system:

employs a scavenge pump that returns the oil from the sump to a storage tank.

does not employ a storage tank.

employs a pressure pump that tops up the oil in the sump from the storage tank.

The variable physical properties of the atmosphere that affect aircraft performance are:

pressure, humidity and oxygen content

temperature, pressure and humidity.

temperature, pressure, density and humidity.

An aeroplane wing will stall at a give

angle of incidence

angle of attack

angle of lift

100 amp/hour battery will, in theory , supply 20 amps for up to:

5 hours.

3 hours.

4 hours.

The reason for 'washout' being designed into an aeroplane wing is to:

decrease the effectiveness, of the ailerons.

cause the outboard section, of the wing to stall first.

cause the inboard section of the wing to stall first.

Induced Drag:

is not a factor of airspeed.

is reduced as airspeed increases

is increased as airspeed increases
