PPL – PRINCIPLES OF FLIGHT
1. As altitude increases, the indicated airspeed at which a given airplane stalls

in a particular configuration will:
remain the same regardless of altitude.

decrease as the true airspeed decreases.
decrease as the airspeed increases.
P26 # 10
2. An airplane will stall at the same:
angle of attack regardless of the altitude with relation to the horizon

airspeed regardless of the altitude with relation to the horizon
angle of attack and altitude with relation to the horizon
3. A turn coordinator provides an indicator of the:
Angle of bank up to but not exceeding 30°.

Attitude of the aircraft with reference to the longitudinal axis.
Movement of the aircraft about the yaw and roll axes.
4. How should a pilot determine the direction of bank from an attitude indicator
as the one illustrated?
By the direction of deflection of the banking scale (A).

By the relationship of the miniature airplane © to the deflected horizon
bar (B)
By the direction of deflection of the horizon bar (B).
5. The most important rule to remember in the event of a power failure after
becoming airborne is to:
quickly check the fuel supply for possible fuel exhaustion.

determine the wind direction to plan for the forced landing
immediately establish the proper gliding attitude and airspeed.
6. What force makes an airplane turn?
The vertical component of lift.

Centrifugal force.
The horizontal component of lift.
7. What does P-factor cause the airplane to yaw to the left?
When at high angles of attack.

When at low angles of attack.
When at high airspeeds.
8. Which basic flight maneuver increases the load factor on an airplane as

compared to straight-and-level flight?
Turns
Climbs
Stalls
9. One of the main functions of flaps during approach and landing is to:
decrease the angle of descent without increasing the airspeed.

increase the angle of descent without increasing the airspeed.
permit a touchdown at a higher indicated airspeed.
10. The wind condition that requires maximum caution when avoiding wake
turbulence on landing is a:
light, quartering headwind.

light, quartering tailwind.
strong headwind.
11. When landing behind a large aircraft, the pilot should avoid wake turbulence
by staying?
Above the large aircraft’s final approach path and landing beyond
the large aircraft’s touchdown point.
Below the large aircraft’s final approach path and landing before aircraft’s
touchdown point.
Above the large aircraft’s final approach path and landing before the large
aircraft’s touchdown point.
P27# 12
12. The stalling speed of an airplane is most affected by:
changes in air density

variations in flight altitude
variations in airplane loading
P29 # 21
13. During the Transition from straight-and-level flight to a climb, the angle of
attack is increased and lift:
is momentarily decreased
remains the same
is momentarily increased
P29 # 24
14. In theory, if the airspeed of an airplane is doubled while in level flight,
parasite drag will become:
twice as great
half as great
four times greater
P26 # 09
15. Stall speed is affected by:
weight, load factor, and power

load factor, angle of attack, and power
angle of attack, weight, and air density
P36 # 56
16. Airplane wing load during a level coordinated turn in smooth air depends
upon the:
rate of turn
angle of bank
true airspeed
P33 # 38
17. To produce the same lift while in ground effect as when out of ground effect,
the airplane requires:
a lower angle of attack

the same angle of attack
a greater angle of attack
P34 # 45
18. If airspeed is increased during a level turn, what action would be necessary
to maintain altitude? The angle of attack:
and angle of bank must be decreased

must be increased or angle of bank decreased
must be decreased or angle of bank increased
P34# 46
19. If a standard rate turn is maintained, how long would it take to turn 360°?
1 minute
2 minutes
3minutes
P35 # 48
20. To increase the rate of turn at the same time decrease the radius, a pilot
should:
maintain the bank and decreased airspeed

increase the bank and increase airspeed
increase the bank and decrease airspeed
