What is the term for the direction an aircraft is pointing?

• Track
• Heading
• Path
• Bearing

Which of the following represents the direction of flight over the ground?

• Bearing
• Heading
• Track
• Path

What time standard is used universally in aviation?

• Local Time
• Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
• Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
• Pacific Standard Time (PST)

How is local time converted to UTC?

• By adding the local time offset to UTC
• By subtracting the local time offset from UTC
• By adding the UTC offset to local time
• By subtracting the UTC offset from local time

What unit is used for measuring altitude in aviation?

• Metres
• Feet
• Kilometres
• Miles

How is horizontal distance measured in aviation?

• Metres
• Kilometres
• Nautical Miles
• Statute Miles

Which of the following is an example of potential energy?

• An aircraft flying at a constant altitude
• An aircraft at rest on the runway
• An aircraft accelerating during takeoff
• Fuel in the aircraft's tanks

What is kinetic energy dependent on?

• Mass and height
• Speed and height
• Mass and speed
• Speed and gravity

The centre of gravity (CoG) is important for:

• Ensuring the aircraft's stability
• Maximising the aircraft's speed
• Minimising the aircraft's weight
• Reducing the drag on the aircraft

What happens if the centre of gravity is too far forward?

• The aircraft becomes nose-heavy and difficult to control
• The aircraft becomes tail-heavy and difficult to control
• The aircraft stalls more easily
• The aircraft cannot generate lift
