The difference between IAS and t a s will be

Decrease with increasing altitude

which of the following methods can be used in the event of hydraulic failure in a
power assisted flying control system
Balanced tabs
Mass balance
Variable incidence tailplane
hOrn balance

Take off from in a field with the low density altitude will result in
a longer take off run
a higher than standard IAS before lift

Where is Vle greater than Vlo on the majority of larger Jet transport aircrafts
Vlo is used when the aircraft is taking off and landing when the IAS is low
Extending the gear at too high an air speed would cause excessive parasite drag
Flying at too high an airspeed with the gear down would prevent retraction of the
forward retracting nose gear
Vlo is a lower IAS because the undercarriage doors are vulnerable to aerodynamic
loads when the gear is in transit

Total drag
Induced drag
profile drag

Total moments will decrease
total moments will remain the same
total moments will increase

The phenomenon of flutter is described as

Rapid oscillatory motion involving only rotation of the control surfaces associated
with the shock waves produced around the control surfaces
Oscillatory motion of part or parts of the aircraft relative to the remainder of
the structure
Rapid moment of the airframe caused by vibration from the engines
Reversal of the ailerons cause by wing torsional flexibility

Control a mass balanced in order to

Eliminate control flutter
Aerodynamically assist the pilot in moving the controls
Provide equal control forces on all three controls
Return the control surface to neutral when it controls are released

If any craft weight is reduced by 15% v a will

Not change

V l o is defined as
Maximum Landing gear operating speed

If flutter is experienced during flight the preferable action would be

Immediately increase speed beyond VMo/Mmo by sacrificing altitude if necessary
Immediately close the throttles deploy the speed brakes and Bank the aircraft
Rapidly pitch up to slow the aircraft as quickly as possible
Reduce speed immediately my closing the throttles but avoid Rapid changes in
altitude or configuraton

Torsional flutter is a condition during which

The wing twists in rapidly alternating direction at high IAS because of the
attachment of poorly balanced wing surfaces
Control surfaces flutter but not the wings to which they are attached
The aircraft in stalled resulting in the Rapid longitudinal Movement in the centre
of pressure

After an airCraft has been exposed to severe weather

Snow should be removed but smooth ice maybe left
All snow and ice should be removed
Loose snow may be left but ice must be removed
Providing the contamination is not to thick it may be left in place

Icing conditions may be encountered in the atmosphere when

Relative humidity is low and temperature rises
Pressure is high and humidity Falls
Relative humidity is high and temperature is low
Relative pressure is high and temperature is high

Flap deployed in turbulence cause

Reduction in stall speed and increase in load
Increasing stalling speed and decreasing load
Increasing stalling angle
Decreasing stalling angle

If it is suspected that ice may have formed on the tailplane and longitudinal
control difficulties are experienced following flap selection prudent action to be
taken would be
Flap should increase
Flaps should decrease
Airspeed is increased
Airspeed should be decreased

Weight increases what happens to take off run

Increased roll with same power setting and lift off on same air speed
Increased roll with more power and liftoff on decreased airspeed
Increased roll with same power and lift off on more airspeed

The boundary layer of a body in a moving airstream is

A thin layer of air over the surface where the air is stationary
A layer of separated flow where the air is turbulent
A layer of air over the surface where the air speed is changing from the free
stream speed to 0 speed
The layer between transition and separation point

The boundary layer of a body in a moving a stream is

Perpendicular distance from surface of the wing to where speed of the airflow
become stationary
It's a layer in which velocity of airflow is constant
Perpendicular distance from surface skin ti where speed of the airflow reaches 99%
of free stream flow

In the event of weathering of the propeller is not possible and engine failed the
propeller blades hould be set to
