1 Lift on a wing is most properly defined as the

a) differential pressure acting perpendicular to the chord of the wing
b) force produced perpendicular to the relative airflow
c) reduced pressure resulting from a smooth flow of air over a curved surface

2 To generate the same amount of lift as altitude is increased, an aircraft must be flown at

a) A lower true airspeed for any given angle of attack
b) A lower true airspeed for a greater angle of attack
c) A higher true airspeed for any given angle of attack

3 To maintain altitude during a turn, the angle of attack must be increased to compensate for the increase in the

a) wing loading
b) horizontal component of lift
c) vertical component of lift

4 If the outside air temperature at a given altitude is warmer than standard, the density altitude is

a) lower than pressure altitude but approximately equal to the true altitude
b) higher than true altitude, but lower than pressure altitude
c) higher than the pressure altitude

5 An abnormally high engine oil temperature indication may be caused by

a) The oil level being too low
b) The oil level being too high
c) Operating with an excessively rich mixture
