You are off of your designated altitude by 100 feet. What pitch angle should you use to climb back to the desired altitude?
Definition
2 degrees
Term
What is the purpose of trim?
Definition
To balance the aerodynamic forces on the aircraft so the pilot will not need to physically hold the control surfaces in the desired position.
Term
You notice the ball is slightly moved to the right of center on the turn and bank indicator. What should you do?
Definition
Apply right rudder to center the ball, then trim to relieve the control pressures.
Term
You should trim in the ________ of the control stick to relieve pressures.
Definition
direction.
Term
What is the proper order to trim an aircraft?
Definition
Rudder
Elevator
Aileron
Term
Turns involve coordination of what control inputs?
Definition
Aileron, Rudder, and Elevator
Term
You need more power in a level turn because of what?
Definition
You must generate more lift to maintain level flight. Lift equates to more drag.
Term
An increase in bank angle will result in an increase (in reference to g forces)?
Definition
Increased g-forces/load factor
Term
To achieve a smooth roll out, use ________ of your _______.
Definition
1/3, bank angle
Term
You will need to reduce _______ during the roll out of a turn in order to prevent ballooning.
Definition
power
Term
During a turn, you need to increase ________ to overcome increased drag.
Definition
power

Constant Rate
Term
For a constant airspeed descent, ___________ and ___________ are normally fixed.
Definition
Airspeed and power
Term
In a constant rate descent, you will maintain constant ___________ and desired __________ ___________ by varying _________ and ___________.

Trim
Term
To climb for strait and level, add __________ and increase __________ simultaneously, then trim off the back pressure and cross check your _________.
Definition

Term
For constant speed climbing turns, your _______ _________ will be lower than during a strait climb.
Definition
pitch attitude
Term
During a climbing turn, your pitch is lower because of what?
Definition
The amount of lift produced for an airspeed is fixed, so a increase in bank angle will reduce the vertical component of lift.
