80. VA - Maneuvering Speed - 1950 lbs

Explanation

The correct answer is 89 KIAS. Maneuvering speed is the maximum speed at which full control deflections can be applied without causing structural damage to the aircraft. It is important to stay below this speed during aggressive maneuvers or turbulence. In this case, the maneuvering speed for an aircraft weighing 1950 lbs is 89 KIAS.

Submit
81. VY - Best Rate of Climb

Explanation

The given answer indicates that the best rate of climb for VY (best rate of climb speed) is 78 KTS (knots) indicated airspeed and 68 KTS true airspeed at 10,000 feet altitude. This means that at this specific altitude, the aircraft will achieve the maximum climb performance in terms of altitude gained per unit of time by maintaining an indicated airspeed of 78 KTS and a true airspeed of 68 KTS.

Submit
82. Maximum useful weight 

Explanation

The maximum useful weight is 950 lbs because it is the highest weight listed among the options provided.

Submit
83. Steep climb angle

Explanation

The correct answer is 58 kts, flaps retracted (takeoff obstacle). This is because a steep climb angle is required to clear obstacles during takeoff. The higher the speed, the more lift the aircraft generates, allowing it to climb at a steeper angle. Therefore, the highest speed listed (58 kts) would provide the best performance for clearing obstacles during takeoff with the flaps retracted.

Submit
84. VA - Maneuvering Speed - 2300 lbs

Explanation

The correct answer is 97 KIAS. Maneuvering speed is the maximum speed at which full control deflection can be applied without causing structural damage to the aircraft. In this case, the maneuvering speed for an aircraft weighing 2300 lbs is 97 KIAS, indicating that the aircraft can safely perform maneuvers at this speed without risking structural integrity.

Submit
85. VA - Maneuvering Speed - 1600 lbs

Explanation

Maneuvering speed is the maximum speed at which an aircraft can be safely maneuvered without exceeding its structural limits. It is important to stay within this speed to prevent excessive stress on the aircraft's structure, especially during abrupt maneuvers. In this case, the correct answer is 80 KIAS, indicating that the aircraft's maneuvering speed is 80 knots indicated airspeed.

Submit
