The correct answer is A. As your propeller turns one direction, the entire plane tries to rotate in the opposite direction. If a pilot doesn't use the control wheel to correct the problem your plane will try to roll to one side during takeoff Advanced Flight Training Test #2 The Oxford has hydraulic power for its control surfaces. This means the pilot must be much more careful when applying pressure to the control wheel. One particular problem is the Oxford's tendency to do a "ground loop" on landing. As the plane lands, its nose pulls up suddenly and the plane flips on its back. "Ground loops" rarely hurt the aircrew - if they are strapped in properly, but they do damage the aircraft and they really look embarrassing. What causes "ground loops" while landing?A. The pilot deploys too much "flap". This gives the wing extra lift and raises the nose of the plane too much B. The pilot pulls back on the throttle and increases engine rpms at the wrong time. The engines roar to life and begin to pull the plane back up into the sky C. The pilot applied too much back pressure on the control wheel. This engaged the elevators too much, pushing the nose of the plane higher. D. The pilot applied the ground brakes while the plane was still travelling too quickly. This caused the plane to flip over |
