The answers to this weeks five questions will be posted on the 28 April 2000.

1 In order to maintain altitude while decreasing airspeed

a) increase angle of attack to compensate for decreasing lift

b) increase angle of attack to produce more lift than drag

c) decrease angle of attack to compensate for increasing drag

2 In coordinated flight for any specific bank, the faster the speed the

a) greater the radius and the faster the rate of turn

b) smaller the radius and the faster the rate of turn

c) greater the radius and the slower the rate of turn

3 To increase the rate of turn and at the same time decrease the radius

a) steepen the bank and increase airspeed

b) shallow the bank and increase airspeed

c) steepen the bank and decrease airspeed

4 One of the main functions of flaps during the approach and landing is to

a) permit a touchdown at a higher indicated airspeed

b) increase the angle of descent without increasing airspeed

c) decrease lift, thus enabling a steeper than normal approach to be made

5 One advantage of fuel injection systems over carburetor systems is

a) elimination of vapour locks during ground operations

b) a reduction in the probability of evaporative icing

c) easier starting of a hot engine
