- 16.If the airspeed is increased from 90 knots to 135 knots during a level 60° banked turn, the load factor will:
- A.
Increase as well as the stall speed
- B.
Decrease and the stall speed will increase
- C.
Remain the same but the radius of turn will increase
- 17.Baggage weighing 90 pounds is placed in a normal category airplane’s baggage compartment which is placarded at 100 pounds. If this airplane is subjected to a positive load factor of 3.5 Gs, the total load of the baggage would be:
