Forces of Flight / Primary Flight Controls

This mechanism for creating lift involves the creation of a pressure gradient:

• Bernoulli's Principle

• Newton's Third Law

• Hooke's Law

• Archimedes' Principle

When air flows over a wing, it creates an area of relatively ____ pressure above the wing.

• high

• low

• equal

• neutral

To actuate the wheel brakes and come to a stop while taxiing straight forward, we

• push the brake button next to the power lever

• push on the brake pedal (the left pedal)

• push in our heels on the bottom of both pedals

• push down our toes on the top of both pedals

When we pull back on the yoke,

• the elevator will rotate upward, pushing the tail down and the nose up

• the elevator will rotate downward, pushing the tail up and the nose down

• the elevator will rotate upward, pushing the tail up and the nose down

• the elevator will rotate downward, pushing the tail down and the nose up

When we turn the yoke to the left,

• the left aileron will go down, rolling us into a turn to the right

• the left aileron will go up, yawing the aircraft to the left

• the left aileron will go up, rolling us into a turn to the left

• the left aileron will go down, rolling us into a turn to the left

The section of the aircraft shown in the image is the

• fuselage

• empennage

• powerplant

• landing gear

In straight and level unaccelerated flight,

• lift equals drag, and thrust equals weight

• lift equals thrust, and drag equals weight

• lift is equal to weight, but thrust and drag might be different

• lift equals weight, and thrust equals drag

Match each of the following flight controls with the type of rotation they cause:

• pitch

• ailerons

• yaw

• elevator

• roll

• rudders
