Aircraft Systems: Section 1

On an aircraft that utilizes flight spoilers, rotating the control wheel to the right will cause

• the spoiler on the right wing to extend

• the spoiler on the left wing to extend

• an increased amount of adverse yaw towards the left

• an increased amount of adverse yaw to the right

An antiservo tab is

• a secondary flight control designed to decrease the effect of pilot control pressures

• a primary flight control designed to decrease the effect of pilot control pressures

• a secondary flight control designed to increase the effect of pilot control pressures

• a primary flight control designed to increase the effect of pilot control pressures

For straight and level flight, an aircraft with additional weight

• weight has negligible effect on angle of attack

• will not need as much angle of attack

• will require additional angle of attack

The "G" letter in the GUMP-CC or GUMPS checklist is used to describe which component?

• Gear

• Generator

• Gauges

• Gas

Adverse yaw is caused by

• parasite drag

• induced drag

• a lack of longitudinal stability

Stabilators are typically

• used for longitudinal control

• located behind a fixed vertical stabilizer

• used for lateral control

• located behind a fixed horizontal stabilizer

An aft cg aircraft can have

• decreased longitudinal stability

• cg location has negligible effect on longitudinal stability

• increased longitudinal stability

During a side slip, the airplane moves sideways towards the

• high wing

• low wing

• deflected ball inclinometer

Which statement is most correct for an adjustable trim tab located on the trailing edge of an elevator - When the tab is deflected upward,

• the elevator moves downward and produces a nose up condition

• the elevator moves upward and produces a nose down condition

• the elevator moves downward and produces a nose down condition

• the elevator moves upward and produces a nose down condition

A frize type of design would typically be utilized on which flight control?

• Aileron

• flap

• elevator

• rudder

• stabilator
