Permits the pilot to select and maintain a desired cruising speed.
- B.
Permits the pilot to select the blade angle for the most efficient performance.
- C.
Provides a smoother operation with stable RPM and eliminates vibrations.

- B.
A study of arrival procedures at airports/ heliports of intended use.
- C.
An alternate course of action if the flight cannot be completed as planned.
- 15.Select the four flight fundamentals involved in maneuvering an aircraft.
- A.
Aircraft power, pitch, bank, and trim.
- B.
Starting, taxiing, takeoff, and landing.
- C.
Straight-and-level flight, turns, climbs, and descents.
- 16.With respect to the certification of aircraft, which is a class of aircraft?

Center of gravity moves forward.
- B.
Elevator trim is adjusted nosedown.
- C.
Center of gravity moves aft.
- 18.Which is true regarding the use of flaps during level turns?
- A.
The lowering of flaps increases the stall speed.
- B.
The raising of flaps increases the stall speed.
- C.
Raising flaps will require added forward pressure on the yoke or stick.

Vertical axis.
- B.
Lateral axis.
- C.
Longitudinal axis.
- 20.What is one purpose of wing flaps?
- A.
To enable the pilot to make steeper approaches to a landing without increasing the airspeed.
- B.
To relieve the pilot of maintaining continuous pressure on the controls.
- C.
To decrease wing area to vary the lift.
- 21.One of the main functions of flaps during approach and landing is to:
