Question 1

Which axis of an aircraft does 'pitch' movement occur around?

Accepted Answer

Lateral axis (wingtip to wingtip)

Answer

Longitudinal axis (nose to tail)

Answer

Vertical axis (top to bottom)

Answer

Diagonal axis between wingtip and tail

Question 2

If an aircraft cockpit view shows the left wing visibly lower than the right wing, the aircraft is:

Accepted Answer

Turning left (banking left)

Answer

Turning right (banking right)

Answer

Climbing with wings level

Answer

Descending with wings level

Question 3

The rotation of an aircraft around its vertical axis (top to bottom) is called:

Accepted Answer

Yaw

Answer

Roll

Answer

Pitch

Answer

Slip

Question 4

In the ASTB-E SAT, you are shown a cockpit view and must select which of four exterior diagrams matches the aircraft's attitude. What information do you use from the cockpit image?

Accepted Answer

Position of the horizon and visible terrain or water relative to the aircraft

Answer

Instrument panel readings only

Answer

The color of the sky to determine time of day

Answer

Presence of clouds to estimate altitude

Question 5

Which of the following best describes a 'wings-level' attitude in an aircraft?

Accepted Answer

Both wings are at equal elevation with zero bank angle

Answer

One wing is noticeably higher than the other

Answer

The nose is pointed directly at the ground

Answer

The aircraft is in an inverted position

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Diving nose-low with wings level

Answer

Flying straight and level

Answer

Climbing nose-high with wings level

Answer

Banking steeply to one side
