ASTB Aviation Knowledge Top Questions and answers, 100% Accurate.

Document Content and Description Below

Bernoulli's Principle - ✔✔-the curvature of the wing causes air to pass faster above the wing than underneath causing high pressure underneath producing lift Four forces of flight - ✔✔-lift ... , weight, thrust, and drag Bernoulli's principle (fluids) - ✔✔-fluids moving at a high speed have lower pressure then fluids moving at a slow speed Angle of attack - ✔✔-The angle between the direction of airflow against the wing and the chord Chord - ✔✔-reference line that extends from leading edge to trailing edge within the wing Induced drag - ✔✔-At the back of the wing, air flowing fast across the top meets air flowing slow underneath creating a vortex What will result in induced drag? - ✔✔-An increase in AOA, lift, or airspeed Longitudinal axis - ✔✔-roll, runs from nose to tail Lateral axis - ✔✔-pitch, wingtip to wingtip Vertical axis - ✔✔-perpendicular to the wings at the center of the aircraft Roll - ✔✔-controlled by ailerons Ailerons - ✔✔-located on trailing edges of wings, control roll Pitch - ✔✔-controlled by elevators Elevators - ✔✔-located on horizontal tail, control pitch Yaw - ✔✔-controlled by rudder Rudder - ✔✔-located on rear vertical tail, controls yaw What axis is pitch? - ✔✔-lateral What axis is roll? - ✔✔-longitudinal what axis is yaw? - ✔✔-vertical Pressure altimeter calibration? - ✔✔-29.92 inches of mercury How does air density affect aircraft performance? - ✔✔-high air density increases engine performance fuselage - ✔✔-main body Camber line - ✔✔-amount of curvature of the wing Powerplant - ✔✔-engines, propellers, induction, exhaust, electrical, cooling, lubrication, and fuel systems Thrust Horsepower Equation - ✔✔-(thrust x aircraft speed)/ 375 Tail wheel - ✔✔-good for landing on non-paved runways tricycle - ✔✔-includes nose and main portions, helps support the aircrafts weight since the center of gravity is forward of the main landing gear tandem - ✔✔-positioned along the longitudinal axis of an aircraft Empennage - ✔✔-the tail assembly of an aircraft. Vertical tail structure - ✔✔-rudder and vertical stabilizer vertical stabilizer - ✔✔-Prevents the aircraft from yawing back and forth horizontal tail structure - ✔✔-elevators and horizontal stabilizer Horizontal Stabilizer - ✔✔-Prevents the aircraft from pitching up and down Trim tabs - ✔✔-reduce control pressures and decrease the pilot's workload. Primary Flight Controls - ✔✔-Ailerons, Rudder, Elevator Secondary Flight Controls - ✔✔-Flaps, leading edge devices, spoilers and trim devices Throttle - ✔✔-Increases and decreases power joystick - ✔✔-directs aircraft left, right, nose up, nose down Pedals - ✔✔-shift the rudder, moves aircraft left and right 4 fundamental flight maneuvers - ✔✔-straight and level flight, turns, climbs, and descents Straight and level flight - ✔✔-cruising mode when all forces of flight are in balance Turns - ✔✔-ailerons banks in direction of turn [Show More]
