13 Which statement is correct?

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.

As the angle of attack increases, the stagnation point on the wing's profile moves
downwards.

The stagnation point is another name for centre of pressure.

15 Which statement about induced drag and tip vortices is correct?

The wing tip vortices and the induced drag decrease at increasing angle of attack.

The flow direction at the upper side of the wing has a component in wing root
direction, the flow at the underside of the wing in wing tip direction.

The flow direction at the upper and under side of the wing, both deviate in wing tip
direction.

Tip vortices can be diminished by vortex generators.

58 When an aeroplane with the centre of gravity forward of the centre of pressure of the
combined wing / fuselage is in straight and level flight, the vertical load on the tailplane will
be:

downwards.

zero because in steady flight all loads are in equilibrium.

downwards because it is always negative regardless of the position of the centre

of gravity.

upwards.

60 The airload on the horizontal tailplane (tailload) of an aeroplane in straight and level flight:

is in general directed upwards and will increase when c.g. is moved forward.

will in principle be zero on transport aeroplanes without an electronic flight control

system (Fly-by-Wire) due to the trim system.

is in general directed downwards and will become less negative when the c.g.
moves aft.

is in general directed downwards and will always become less negative in a linear
fashion with increasing airspeed.

64 How does positive camber of an aerofoil affect static longitudinal stability ? It has

negative effect, because the lift vector rotates forward at increasing angle of
attack.

no effect, because camber of the aerofoil produces a constant pitch down moment
coefficient, independent of angle of attack.

positive effect, because the centre of pressure shifts rearward at increasing angle
of attack.

positive effect, because the lift vector rotates backward at increasing angle of
attack.

65 The centre of gravity of an aeroplane is in a fixed position forward of the neutral point.
Speed changes cause a departure from the trimmed position. Which of the following
statements about the stick force stability is correct?

Increase of speed generates pull forces.

Aeroplane nose up trim decreases the stick force stability.

An increase of 10kt from the trimmed position at low speed has more effect on the
stick force than an increase of 10kt from the trimmed position at high speed.

Stick force stability is not affected by trim.

67 Which statement about stick force per g is correct?

The stick force per g must have both an upper and lower limit in order to ensure
acceptable control characteristics.

The stick force per g can only be corrected by means of electronic devices
(stability augmentation) in case of an unacceptable value.

The stick force per g increases, when centre of gravity is moved aft.

If the slope of the Fe-n line becomes negative, generally speaking this is not a
problem for control of an aeroplane.

83 What is the position of the elevator in relation to the trimmable horizontal stabiliser of a
power assisted aeroplane that is in trim?

The elevator deflection (compared to the stabilizer position) is always zero.

The elevator is always deflected slightly downwards in order to have sufficient

remaining flare capability.

The position depends on speed, the position of slats and flaps and the position of
the centre of gravity.

At a forward CG the elevator is deflected upward and at an aft CG the elevator is

deflected downward.

86 Which of the following statements is true?

By increasing the flap setting in severe turbulence at constant speed the stall
speed will be reduced and the risk for exceeding the structural limits will be
decreased

Flap extension in severe turbulence at constant speed moves the centre of

pressure aft, which increases the structural limitation margins

Flight in severe turbulence may lead to a stall and/or structural limitations being
exceeded

Flap extension in severe turbulence at constant speed increases both the stall
speed and the structural limitation margins

87 Which definition of propeller parameters is correct?

Critical tip velocity is the propeller speed at which flow separation first occurs at
some part of the blade.

Geometric pitch is the theoretical distance a propeller blade element would travel
in a forward direction during one revolution.

Angle of attack is the angle between the blade chord line and the propeller vertical
plane.

Blade angle is the angle between the blade chord line and the propeller axis.

88 Constant-speed propellers provide a better performance than fixed-pitch propellers

because they:

have more blade surface area than a fixed-pitch propeller.

have a higher maximum efficiency than a fixed-pitch propeller.

produce a greater maximum thrust than a fixed-pitch propeller.

produce an almost maximum efficiency over a wider speed range.

91 For a fixed-pitch propeller designed for cruise, the angle of attack of each blade, measured
at the reference section:

is optimum when the aircraft is in a stabilized cruising flight.

decreases when the aircraft speed decreases (with identical engine RPM).

is always positive during idling descent.

is lower in ground run than in flight (with identical engine RPM).

VMCA may not be lower than VMCL

The nose wheel steering control may used to determine VMCG.

Crosswind is taken into account to determine VMCG.

VMCA depends on the airport density altitude, and the location of the engine on the
aeroplane (aft fuselage or wing).
