SFTS Test#3

Let's see how well you use your new knowledge in some flying situations.
Were you paying attention or do you have to do it all over again?

A. For the first time you are flying airplanes with two engines. Your instructor repeatedly
emphasizes that you always need to match propeller and engine rpms and propeller blade
pitches between the two engines. Why is this?
1. If one engine gives out more power than the other it will burn out faster
2. If one engine gives out more power than the other the plane will continually "yaw" to
that side, making the plane more difficult to handle
3. If one engine gives out more power than the other, its fuel supply will run out faster.

B.These planes are equipped with "flaps" - hinged sections at the back of each wing.
When flaps are deployed, these sections lower, causing more air resistance. This helps
slow a plane down, while increasing lift on the wing. In which of these situations should
a pilot use a plane's flaps?
1. During take-off to make it easier for the plane to become airborne
2. During landings to allow the plane to lower its speed without stalling
3. As a brake while diving, to prevent the plane from going so fast that
it might suffer structural damage
4. All three are correct uses of flaps.

C. You are flying level at 5,000 feet. Your compass heading is 270 degrees
( almost due west). Your base controller instructs you to change course to Angels 12,
with an 80 degree turn to Port. How has your course changed?
1. Your plane is now headed almost due South at 17,000 feet altitude
2. Your plane is now headed almost due North at 12,000 altitude
3. . Your plane is now headed Northwest at 17,000 altitude
