1. What are the four forces which act on an aircraft flying in level flight at a constant airspeed? Answer : Lift, weight, thrust and drag. 2. On a cross section of an airplane wing, the line connecting the leading edge with the trailing edge is called the: Answer : Chord line. 3. The angle between the wing's chord and its path through the air is called the: Answer : Angle of attack. 4. Total lift created by an airfoil acts: Answer : perpendicular to the airfoil. 5. As the horizontal distance between the center of lift and the center of gravity increases, the airplane becomes more: Answer : Stable. 6. The roll axis of an airplane is controlled by the pilot exercising control on the: Answer : Ailerons. 7. The purpose of the wing flaps is to increase: Answer : Lift at slow speeds. 8. Which of the following affect the density altitude (DA)? Answer : All the answers are correct. 9. Which of these is very important to the performance and controllability of an airplane? Answer : Total weight of the airplane. 10. Ground effect is best defined as a: Answer : Positive effect which allows the airplane to fly near the ground with less power than at required at high altitude. 3. Jet blast from a large turbine-engine powered airplane, using takoff power, can cause winds: Answer : Up to 100 knots within 200 feet behind the airplane. 6. A medical crewmember should never activate a fire extinguisher in an airplane cockpit while in flight. Answer : TRUE, unless authorized to do so by the pilot in command Which is/are (a) correct statement(s) regarding the propeller guard on an airplane whose propellers are turning while loading or unloading a patient? All the answers are correct. The Propeller Guard’s responsibility is to assure that nobody approaches the propeller area. For rear-mounted engines, the Guard will position himself between the loading door and the engine until all personnel are clear or safely inside the aircraft. The Propeller Guard is not to be involved in loading or unloading while the propellers are turning.
