    Which is not one of the four forces at work on an aircraft in flight?

    • Lift.

    • Thrust.

    • Gravity.

    • Deceleration.

    Correct Answer
    A. Deceleration.
    Explanation
    Deceleration is not one of the four forces at work on an aircraft in flight. The four forces are lift, thrust, gravity, and drag. Lift is the force that opposes gravity and allows the aircraft to stay airborne. Thrust is the force that propels the aircraft forward. Gravity is the force that pulls the aircraft towards the ground. Drag is the force that opposes the motion of the aircraft through the air. Deceleration refers to the act of slowing down or reducing speed, but it is not considered a separate force acting on the aircraft.

    When is the thru-flight inspection performed?

    • Between flights.

    • After the last flight of the day.

    • Before the aircraft goes on alert.

    • After a specific number of flying hours has elapsed.

    Correct Answer
    A. Between flights.
    Explanation
    The thru-flight inspection is performed between flights. This means that it is conducted after a flight has landed and before the next flight takes off. This inspection is important to ensure that the aircraft is in proper working condition, all systems are functioning correctly, and any necessary maintenance or repairs can be addressed before the next flight. Performing the thru-flight inspection between flights helps to maintain the safety and efficiency of the aircraft operations.
