What causes an aircraft to stall?
Correct!
Wrong!
A stall occurs when the angle of attack exceeds the critical angle, disrupting smooth airflow over the wing and causing lift to decrease rapidly.
What is the primary function of the elevator on an aircraft?
Correct!
Wrong!
The elevator controls the pitch of the aircraft, allowing the nose to move up or down.
What does the pitot-static system measure?
Correct!
Wrong!
The pitot-static system measures airspeed, altitude, and vertical speed using dynamic and static pressure.
Which flight instrument is affected if the pitot tube is blocked but the static port is clear?
Correct!
Wrong!
If the pitot tube is blocked, the airspeed indicator will provide incorrect readings while the altimeter and VSI remain unaffected.
What does Bernoulli’s Principle explain in relation to flight?
Correct!
Wrong!
Bernoulli’s Principle explains how pressure decreases as the speed of a fluid (like air) increases, contributing to lift on the wing's curved surface.
Why is it important to monitor oil pressure in an aircraft engine?
Correct!
Wrong!
Oil pressure ensures proper lubrication of engine parts. A drop in oil pressure can indicate a serious engine malfunction.
