Front 3

Where may an aircraft's operating limitations be found in the aircraft has an Experimental or Special light-sport airworthiness certificate?

Back 3

Attached to the Airworthiness Certificate

Front 4

Excessively high temperatures will

Back 4

cause loss of power, excessive oil consumption, and possible permanent internal engine damage.

Front 5

If the engine oil temperature and cylinder head temperature gauges have exceeded their normal operating range, the pilot may have been operating with--->

Back 5

too much power and with mixture set too lean...

Front 6

One purpose of the dual ignition system is to provide for

Back 6

improved engine performance.

Front 7

On aircraft equipped with fuel pumps, when is the auxiliary electric driven pump used?

Back 7

In the event engine-driven fuel pump fails.

Front 8

The operating principle of float-type carburetors is based on the

Back 8

difference in air pressure at the venturi throat and the air inlet.

Front 9

The basic purpose of adjusting the fuel/air mixture at altitude is to--->

Back 9

decrease the fuel flow in order to compensate for decreased air density.

Front 10

With regard to carburetor ice, float-type carburetor systems in comparison to fuel injection systems are generally considered to be

Back 19

more susceptible to icing.

Front 21

detonation occurs in a reciprocating aircraft engine when--->

Back 21

the unburned charge in the cylinders explodes instead of burning normally.

Front 22

If a pilot suspects that the engine (with a fixed-pitch propeller) is detonating during climb-out after takeoff, the initial corrective action to take would be--->

Back 22

lower the nose slightly to increase airspeed.

Front 23

What should be the first action after starting an aircraft engine?

Back 34

Adjust for proper RPM and check for desired indications on the engine gauges.

Front 35

Back 35

be at the controls of the cockpit.

Excessively high temperatures, either in the air or on the ground, will--->

Back 36

cause loss of power, excessive oil consumption, and possible permanent internal engine damage.

---BEGIN CHAPTER 3---

The four forces of flight are

Back 93

lift weight thrust and drag.

Front 94

When are the four forces that act on an airplane in equilibrium?

Back 94

during unaccelerated flight.

Front 95

The acute angle which is composed of the chord line and the relative wind is the

Back 95

angle of attack.

Front 96

The term "angle of attack" is defined as the angle

Back 96

between the wing chord and the relative wind

Front 97

What is the relationship of lift,drag, thrust and weight when the airplane is in straight and level flight?

Back 97

Lift = weight and thrust = drag.

Front 98

One of the main functions of flaps during approach and landing is to

increase the angle of descent without increasing the airspeed.

Front 99

What is the purpose of wing flaps?

Back 99

To enable the pilot to make steeper approaches to a landing without increasing airspeed.

Front 100

Back 111

to control yaw.
