Aviation Concepts and Calculations Quiz

An abnormal high engine oil temperature indication may be caused by?

How should the pilot make a VOR receiver check when the aircraft is located on the designated checkpoint on the airport surface?

Why is it necessary to increase back elevator pressure to maintain altitude during a turn?

An airplane leaving ground effect will?

While maintaining a constant heading, a relative bearing of 10 degrees doubles in 5 minutes. If the true airspeed is 105 knots, the time and distance to the station being used is approximately?

When should pilots decline a 'land and hold short' (LAHSO) clearance?

SIGMET's are issued as a warning of weather conditions which are hazardous?

Given the conditions: Temperature 85°F, Pressure altitude 6,000 ft, Weight 2,800 lbs, Headwind 14 kts, determine the approximate ground roll.

The conditions necessary for the formation of stratiform clouds are a lifting action and?

Which of the following is the final step of the DECIDE model for effective risk management and Aeronautical Decision Making?

When flying low over hilly terrain, ridges, or mountain ranges, the greatest potential danger from turbulent air currents will usually be encountered on the?

Engine Oil Temperature

An abnormal high engine oil temperature indication may be caused by low oil levels, operating with an excessively rich mixture, or a defective bearing.

VOR Receiver Check

When on the designated checkpoint on the airport surface, set the OBS on the designated radial. The CDI must center within plus or minus 4 degrees of that radial with a FROM indication.

Elevator Pressure in a Turn

Increasing back elevator pressure is necessary to maintain altitude during a turn to compensate for the loss of the horizontal component of lift and the increase in centrifugal force.

Ground Effect and Drag

An airplane leaving ground effect will experience an increase in induced drag and require more thrust.

Relative Bearing and Time/Distance

A relative bearing that doubles in 5 minutes with a true airspeed of 105 knots indicates a time and distance to the station being used is approximately 10 minutes and 17 miles.

Land and Hold Short (LAHSO) Clearance

Pilots should decline a LAHSO clearance if it will compromise safety, for example, if the runway surface is contaminated.

SIGMETs and Weather Warnings

SIGMETs are issued as warnings of hazardous weather conditions for all aircraft.

Ground Roll Calculation

Ground roll can be determined by considering factors such as temperature, pressure altitude, weight, and headwind.

Stratiform Cloud Formation

Stratiform clouds form when stable, moist air undergoes a lifting action.

DECIDE Model

The final step of the DECIDE model for effective risk management and Aeronautical Decision Making is Evaluate.

Turbulent Air Currents Around Terrain

When flying low over hilly terrain, ridges, or mountain ranges, the greatest potential danger from turbulent air currents is usually encountered on the leeward side of the terrain.

This quiz covers various aviation concepts including engine oil temperature, VOR receiver checks, and the dynamics of elevator pressure during turns. Test your knowledge on how aircraft operate under different conditions and the calculations involved in navigation.
