As the angle of attack increases, the stagnation point on the wing's profile moves
downwards.
The stagnation point is always situated on the chordline, the centre of pressure is
not.
The centre of pressure is the point on the wing's leading edge where the airflow
splits up.
The stagnation point is another name for centre of pressure.

Will increase with increased load factor, icing conditions and more flaps
May increase during turbulence and will always increase when banking in a turn
Will increase during turn, increased mass and an aft c.g. location
Will decrease with a forward c.g. location, lower altitude and due to the slip stream
from a propeller on an engine located forward of the wing

73 Which of the following statements about dihedral is correct?
Dihedral is necessary for the execution of slip-free turns.
Effective dihedral is the angle between the 1/4-chord line and the lateral axis of the
aeroplane.
The "effective dihedral" of an aeroplane component means the contribution of that

component to the static lateral stability.
Dihedral contributes to dynamic but not to static lateral stability.

74 Static lateral stability should not be too large, because:
constant aileron deflection would be required during cruise in case of crosswind.
the roll trim sensitivity would increase sharply.
too much rudder deflection would be required in a crosswind landing.
too much aileron deflection would be required in a crosswind landing.

83 In general transport aeroplanes with power assisted flight controls are fitted with an
adjustable stabilizer instead of trim tabs on the elevator. This is because:
the pilot does not feel the stick forces at all
trim tab deflection increases Mcrit
effectiveness of trim tabs is insufficient for those aeroplanes
mechanical adjustment of trim tabs creates too many problems

84 Which statement about a jet transport aeroplane is correct during take-off with the cg at the
forward limit and the trimmable horizontal stabiliser (THS) positioned at the maximum
allowable aeroplane nose down position?
The rotation will require extra stick force.
If the THS position is just within the limits of the green band, the take off warning
system will be activated.
Early nose wheel raising will take place.
Rotation will be normal.

85 Which statement in respect of a trimmable horizontal stabiliser is correct?
At the forward centre of gravity limit , stabiliser trim is adjusted fully nose down to
obtain maximum elevator authority at rotation during take-off.
An aeroplane with a forward centre of gravity requires the stabiliser leading edge
to be lower than for one with an aft centre of gravity in the same trimmed
condition.
Because take-off speeds do not vary with centre of gravity location, the need for
stabiliser adjustment is dependant on flap position only.
An aeroplane with a forward centre of gravity requires the stabiliser leading edge
to be higher than for one with an aft centre of gravity in the same trimmed
condition.
