thrust
The crawling is located
near the engine
Airport taxiways are identified
... [Show More] at night by omnidirectional edge lights in what color
blue
If the aircraft ammeter is indicating a minus value, this means the
the generator or alternator output is inadequate
Angle of Attack
The angle formed by the wing chord of an airfoil and the direction of the relative wind.
In a level turn, the acceleration experienced by the aircraft and its pilot in the directions perpendicular to the wing is softly determined by
Bank angle
The flight enveloped of an aircraft is
the region of altitude and airspeed in which it can be operated
The locus of points equidistant from the upper and lower surface of an airfoil is called the
mean camber line
The straight line joining the ends of the mean camber line is called the
wing chord
A ______ is the point at which the airflow over the wings ceases to be a smooth flow and the wing stats to lose lift
aerodynamic stall
A the two basic types of drag are
parasitic and induced
An airfoils efficiency, either a wing or a rotor blade, is _____ at high altitudes by the ______ air density
decrease, lesser
The degree of movement of an aircraft around its lateral axis is known as
pitch
when the flaps are extended, the chamber of the wing is
increased
A helicopters cyclic control is a mechanical linkage used to change the pitch of the main rotor blades
at a selected point in its circular pathway
Causes the body of the helicopter to have a tendency to turn in a counterclockwise direction
torque
Pulling back on he control column or joystick of a fixed-wing aircraft will cause the aircraft to
pitch up
The abbreviation VTOL, applied to aircraft other than helicopter, means
vertical take off and landing
Delta wing aircraft have a wing in the form of a triangle, named after the Greek uppercase letter delta and no
horizontal stabilizers
A system of lights to guide the pilot during runway approach. ___ lights are used to indicate the upper limits of the guide path and ____ lights for the lower limits
red; white

two wings arranged one above the other
A coordinated turn includes both _____ of the plane
roll and yaw
_____ is induced by use of a movable rubber called by _____ in the cockpit
yaw; rubber pedals
Moving the control column or joystick to the left or right affects the ______ rather than indicating the:
rate of roll, angle to which the aircraft will roll [Show Less]
