Test: Aircraft Flight Controls
20 questions
Question 1: The primary function of the horizontal stabilizer is to move the airplane about the longitudinal axis.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: The study materials state that the primary flight control system moves the airplane about the longitudinal axis, and its components are ailerons, elevators, and the rudder. The horizontal stabilizer is listed as a component of the secondary flight control system, which improves the lift and handling properties of the airplane, but it is not specified to move the airplane about the longitudinal axis.
Question 2: The flight controls keep the airplane at the necessary attitude during flight.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: The study materials state, "The flight controls keep the airplane at the necessary attitude during flight."
Question 3: Does the abbreviation LE, as listed in the flight controls introduction, refer to 'lower elevation'?
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: The abbreviations and acronyms section explicitly states that LE stands for 'leading edge'.
Question 4: Is 'sys' an abbreviation for 'switch'?
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: The study materials indicate that 'sys' is an abbreviation for 'system'. The abbreviation for 'switch' is 'sw'.
Question 5: The secondary flight control system includes the horizontal stabilizer as one of its components.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: The study materials state under 'Secondary Flight Controls' that 'The secondary flight control system has these components: • Leading edge devices (12) • Trailing edge flaps (4) • Spoilers and speedbrakes (12) • Horizontal stabilizer.'
