It has no effect. C. The rudder shifts to the left. D. The rudder shifts to the right. - ✔✔-B. It has no effect The cyclic does not control the rudder. Which aircraft component(s) affect roll? A. the ailerons B. the ailerons and the spoilers C. the elevators D. the rudder - ✔✔-B. The ailerons and the spoilers Both the ailerons and the spoilers affect the roll of an aircraft, so this is the best answer. Which type of climb is made with the maximum power available? A. a best angle of climb B. a best rate of climb C. a medium climb D. a normal climb - ✔✔-B. A best rate of climb This climb is used to reach the greatest altitude over a given amount of time, requiring maximum power. What type of helicopter design uses a ducted fan in place of a tail rotor to cancel torque effect? A. the coaxial rotor system B. the NOTAR C. the tandem rotor system D. the semi-monocoque - ✔✔-B. The NOTAR The NOTAR design uses a ducted fan to vector air out of the tail to cancel torque effect. When an aircraft is approaching to land, the leading and trailing edges of its flaps are extended to create the following force(s). A. a decrease in drag B. a decrease in lift C. an increase in airspeed and drag D. maximum lift and high drag - ✔✔-D. Maximum lift and high drag Since airspeed is decreased, maximum lift is required plus high drag to slow the aircraft. When flying a helicopter, what response should be taken if the rpm is low and the manifold pressure is high?When flying a helicopter, what response should be taken if the rpm is low and the manifold pressure is high? A. increase the throttle B. lower the collective pitch C. move the cyclic forward D. raise the collective pitch - ✔✔-B. Lower the collective pitch This decreases the manifold pressure, which in turn increases rpm. Which aerodynamic force(s) must a rotary-wing aircraft balance in order to hover? A. weight, lift, thrust, and drag B. translational lift C. dissymmetry of lift D. gyroscopic precession - ✔✔-A. Weight, lift, thrust, and drag Weight, lift, thrust, and drag must be in balance in order to hover. If the ball on the turn and slip indicator is to the left or right, which flight control will return it to the center? A. the cyclic or control wheel B. the foot pedals C. the pitot tube D. resetting the altimeter - ✔✔-B. The foot pedals The foot pedals control the rudder, which moves the aircraft left or right. Empennage refers to the A. fuselage B. landing gear section C. propellers or rotor blades D. tail section - ✔✔-D. Tail section The tail section is known as the empennage. What part of the aircraft structure supports the tail rotor? A. the teeter hinge B. the swashplate C. the ducted fan D. the tail boom - ✔✔-D. Tail boom
