1. What is the temperature lapse rate for aircraft flying below 36,000 feet altitude? a. 1C per 1000 feet. b. 3C per 1000 feet. c.2C per 1000 feet.

2. At higher altitudes as altitude increases, pressure: a. decreases at constant rate. b. increases exponentially. c. decreases exponentially.

3. The ISA defines as a. an assumed conditions for atmosphere. b. conditions prevailing at 45 degrees latitude. c. conditions prevailing at 45N.

What is Boundary Layer? a. Separated layer of air forming a boundary at the leading edge b. Turbulent air moving from the leading edge to trailing edge c. Sluggish low energy air that sticks to the wing surface and gradually gets faster until it joins the free stream flow of air.

Wing load is all up a\c weight: a. divided by wing area. b. times by the wing load. c. divided with wing density.

10.On a straight wing aircraft, stall commences at the a.Root on a high thickness ratio wing. b.Tip on a high thickness ratio wing. c. tip on a low thickness ratio wing.

On a high wing aircraft in a turn a.The up-going wing loses lift causing a de-stabilising effect b. the down-going wing gains lift causing a stabilizing effect c.The down-going wing loses lift causing a de-stabilizing effect.

At high altitude to maintain the true speed, the power required is: a. higher than the power required at low altitude. b. lower than the power required at low altitude. c. same.

8. If the airspeed reduced by halved ,and other factors remain the same, the lift will: a. reduced by 4. b. remain constant. c. reduced by halved.

9. At a stalled aerodynamic angle of incidence the L/D ratio of an airfoil is: a. Lower than the most efficient AOA. b. Zero. c. Higher than the most efficient AOA

13. When the lift is before COG, an increase in lift will:

a. unstable pitching, lift increase. b. stable pitching, lift decreases. c. unstable pitching, lift decreases.

15. pitch-up is known as: a. ground effect b. high drag cause compressible effect. c. longitudinal instability.

To convert from 75 knots to mph: a. multiple by 0.86 b. divide by 0.86. c. divide by 1.15.

If gauge pressure on a standard day at sea level is 25 PSI, the absolute pressure is a. 10.3 PSI. b. 43.8 PSI. c. 39.7 PSI.

7. The rigging angle of incidence of an elevator is a. the angle between the mean chord line and the horizontal in the rigging position b. the angle between the bottom surface of the elevator and the horizontal in the position c. the angle between the bottom surface of the elevator and the longitudinal datum rigging

If you increased the angle of a banked turn without increasing airspeed or angle of attack, what will the aircraft do? a. It will remain at the same height

b. It will sideslip with attendant loss of height c. It will slip out.

If the C of G is aft of the Centre of Pressure a. changes in lift produce a pitching moment which acts to increase the change in lift b. when the aircraft sideslips, the C of G causes the nose to turn into the sideslip thus applying a restoring moment c. when the aircraft yaws the aerodynamic forces acting forward of the Centre of Pressure.

4. The relationship between induced drag and airspeed is, induced drag is a. directly proportional to the square of the speed b. inversely proportional to the square of the speed c. directly proportional to speed.

19. Stability about normal axis will be maintained by a. longitudinal dihedral. b. keel surface area. c. lateral dihedral.

20. The normal axis of an aircraft passes through a. the center of gravity . b .a point at the center of the wings. c. at the center of pressure.
