On what part of the plane is the rudder located?
Vertical Stabilizer
If the rudder tilts left, where does the nose go?
Left
If the
... [Show More] elevator tilts up, where does the nose go?
Up
What do flaps do?
Increase lift and drag
If the right aileron goes down, and the left aileron goes up, which wing will go up?
The right wing
If you increase the curvature of the wing, what will increase?
Lift, drag, and weight
What is the color of plane fuel?
Light blue
What letter(s) indicates that a plane is made in the USA?
N
Where does the fuel go in the Cessna-172?
The wing
What part of the plane must be used to slow the plane down before landing?
The flaps
What part of the plane controls the plane on the roll axis?
Ailerons
What part of the plane controls the plane on the pitch axis?
Elevator
What part(s) can be located on the tail of the plane?
Vertical stabilizers
What will happen if the wings of a plane become frozen?
The ice will obstruct the airflow above and below the wing, causing the plane to have a difficult time generating lift and the pilot will have to use a provided mechanism to break/melt the ice.
What kinds of things might be found in or on the wings of a plane?
Engines, fuel, ailerons, and flaps
You must grease the propellers of the plane before flying.
False
Both the rudder and ailerons are located on the wings of a plane.
False
You must check the tires on the landing gear of a plane before flying.
True
For the wings to generate lift the pressure on the top has to be lower than the pressure on the bottom.
True
Ailerons are small controlled hinged sections on a plane that control altitude.
False
Propellers are a set of wings connected to the turbine which spins, creating thrust.
True
When landing, you increase the speed of the aircraft.
False
The propeller is the only part on the Cessna-172 that produces thrust.
True
If the wings are angled to break the airflow on the top and the bottom of the wing, the plane will roll.
False
Plane fuel and car fuel can be used in a Cessna-172
False
Ailerons work in place of wing warping.
True
The two fixed parts of the tail are the horizontal stabilizers and the elevator.
False
Knots are the only way to measure a plane's speed.
False
The engine completely stops in a stall.
False
The engines of some planes are attached to the wings.
True
What is a wing stall?
Stalls in fixed-wing flight are often experienced as a sudden reduction in lift as the pilot increases the wing's angle of attack and exceeds its critical angle of attack (which may be due to slowing down below stall speed in level flight).
Which aileron must be up to cause a turn to the right?
The right aileron up [Show Less]
