Private and Recreational Pilot Groundschool Manual Page 34Langley Flying School, Inc.QUESTIONS1) A heavier-than-air machine which derives its liftin flight from an aerodynamic reaction of the airon fixed surfaces is referred to as a(n):a) aircraft.b) plane.c) fixed-wind aircraft.d) aeroplane.2) Left and right movements on the control columna) affect the lateral movement of the rudder.b) create a change in the lift characteristics ofthe wing.c) create left and right movement in the flapsurfaces.d) control yaw.3) For the purpose of ensuring safety whenencountering extreme turbulence, a pilot mustknowa) the “never exceed speed” of the aircraft.b) the load limitations associated with theaircraft’s flight category.c) V ad) the speed at which, given the operationalweight of the aircraft, a stall will occur.4) When an aircraft type manufacturing is approvedby Transport Canada as meeting establishedstandards, the pilot will be aware of this by theappearance of a in the aircraftdocuments.a) type airworthiness approvalb) approved airworthiness equipment listc) certificate of airworthiness conformityd) standard certificate of airworthiness5) Unlike a Cessna 172, a Piper Cherokee hasa) cantilever wings.b) a monocoque tail.c) truss wings.d) utility and normal category operations.6) Split axle undercarriage design is found on thea) Piper PA-28b) Aeroncac) Championd) Piper PA-227) Load factor denotesa) the weight category at which the pilotchooses to operate an aircraft.b) should be calculated prior to each flight inrelation to turbulence risk.c) the ratio of dead to live load.d) the structural protection in utility and normalcategory operations.8) During an accelerating descent,a) the pilot must be cautious to maintainairspeed above manoeuvre airspeed.b) normal category load factor would beexcessive.c) the load factor could be 1.3g.d) the load factor could be .8g.9) During a level 60° banked turn, a 200 lb. pilotweighsa) 150 lbs.b) 200 lbs.c) 300 lbs.d) 400 lbs.10) During a level 60° banked turn the weight of theaircrafta) remains unchanged owing to the balancedlift forces of flight.b) decreases.c) increases.d) doubles.11) With respect to aircraft design, there are twotypes of fuselage construction, truss andmonocoque. Which of the following constitutestruss construction?a) longerons and formersb) formers and stressed skinc) bulkheads and beamsd) longerons and beams12) The main structural and load-bearingcomponents of the wing is the spar. Someaircraft have monospar wings, while others mayhave multispar wings. Which of the following istrue concerning spars?a) spars span from wing tip to wing rootb) spars produce lift in association aircraftpitch changesc) spars span from the wing leading edge to thewing trailing edged) spars give the shape to wing known ascamber13) To create a nose-down attitude, the trim tab onan aircraft equipped with an elevatora) is deflected upward.b) is deflected downward.c) is placed in the neutral position.d) is retracted from the flow of air.14) To create a nose-down attitude, the anti-servo tabon an aircraft equipped with a stabilatora) is deflected upward.b) is deflected downward.c) is placed in the neutral position.d) is retracted from the flow of air.15) According to Canadian Aviation Regulation625.85 (Appendix A), a pilot of a noncommercialaircraft cana) lubricate the aileron hinges, but cannot© 2012 David L.

A pre-flight inspectionindicates that the landing light does not work,and the last maintenance performed on theaircraft was an annual inspection entered ninemonths ago, with the aircraft flying 300 hourssince this maintenance. Faced with thisprospect, the pilota) should not go. A defective landing lightmakes the Certificate of Airworthinessinvalid and scheduled maintenance isoverdue.b) should not go. Although a defective landinglight does not make the Certificate ofAirworthiness invalid, scheduledmaintenance is overdue.c) should go. Provided the aircraft is notcarrying passengers at night, the Certificateof Airworthiness is valid as long as thedefective light is properly recorded in theJourney Log. With respect to the scheduledmaintenance, private aircraft only require aninspection every 12 months, so maintenanceis not overdue.d) should go, but only if an AME signs thebook stating that the aircraft is airworthy.© 2012 David L.
