Ex. 12 - Stalls explores critical flight concepts such as the mechanics of stalling, aircraft design features like washout, and the impact of various factors on stall characteristics. This quiz is crucial for understanding safe aircraft operation and enhancing piloting skills.
True
False
Rate this question:
Apply left rudder
Turn yoke to the left
Pull the yoke all the way back to increase control effectiveness
Rate this question:
Engine roughness due to overheating because of insufficient cooling at high angles of attack
Aileron flutter
Turbulent airflow over the wings due to an increase in the angle of attack
Elevator oscillations due to insufficient air flow
Rate this question:
Immediately pull nose up
Add power (and turn carb heat off, if your plane has it!)
Lower flaps
Maintain best glide speed
Rate this question:
As far down as it can go, to build up the airspeed faster
Well below the horizon, to build up the airspeed faster
Just sufficiently to unstall the wing (typically close to cruise attitude)
Barely a degree or two
Rate this question:
It is a tapering of the wing towards the trailing edge to ensure smooth airflow
It is a built-in increase in the angle of incidence as you go towards the wingtips to ensure they stall first while the rest of the wing is still flying normally
It is the a shallow bowl-shaped dip at the top of each wing, to "trap" turbulent air and delay a stall
It is the difference in the angle of incidence between the wing root and the wing tip, used to increase aileron effectiveness in stalls
Rate this question:
A power-on stall will be "gentler" than a power-off stall, but it is dangerous because the engine noise may make it difficult to hear the stall horn
A power-on stall will occur at a higher airspeed than a power-off stall, but will be less dramatic and easier to recover from
A power-on stall will occur at a lower airspeed than a power-off stall, but will be more "aggressive" and is more likely to result in a wing drop
Power has no noticeable difference on stall characteristics
Rate this question:
Forward centre of gravity
Aft centre of gravity
Higher weight
Lower weight
Steep bank angles
Power
Flaps
Rate this question:
In steep turns, because the plane will stall at much higher airspeed than normal
In severe icing conditions, because the plane will stall at a much higher angle of attack than normal
In any stalling situation which occurs above published stall speeds (turns, high-G manoeuvres etc.)
A properly functioning stall warning horn will always sound just before a stall since it detects the increase in airflow turbulence over the wing which occurs before every stall
