1. Engine oil level
   Engine heat
2. Engine RPMS

The tachometer measures the engine's RPMS. This refers to revolutions per minute.

1. True
2. False

It is true that air density affects the airplane's capability. Less dense air reduces power, thrust, and lift.

1. Torque
   Lift
2. Brevity

Lift is the force necessary to overcome gravitational force to keep the plane flying. Without lift, you couldn't be a pilot, my friend.

1. It can speed up faster
   It can roll more easily
2. It requires less effort to control

The main benefit of an inherently stable airplane is that it's easier to control. That doesn't mean you can relax and put your feet up, though!

1. You're going too fast
   Generator output is inadequate
2. Thrust is too high

When the aircraft ammeter is indicating a minus value, it means that the generator output is not adequate. It also means that the alternator output is inadequate.

1. Meters/hour
   Feet/minute
2. Miles/hour

Vertical velocity measures the feet/minute. This applies to climbing and diving.

1. Exhaust
   Battery power
2. Horsepower

The ammeter is used to measure battery power. Electric currents are measured in amperes (A), and that's where the name comes from.

1. NO
   X X X
2. - - -

On an airfield diagram, a closed runway will be marked as X X X. You seriously don't want to land on that runway.

1. Landing
   Turbulence
2. Climbing

When climbing, the pilot always advances the throttle. You're going to have a hard time climbing if you don't.

1. Propellers
   Ammeters
2. Elevators

The elevators control the pitch--or the movement of a plane up and down. The rudder controls movement from side to side.

1. Cool
   Heat
2. Accelerate

The cowl flaps are designed to cool the engine.

1. Torque
   Thrust
2. Lift

The propeller is designed to provide thrust. We all know that a plane with no thrust is SOL.

1. Up and down
   Left and right
2. Forward and back

The rudder is designed to move the airplane nose left and right. The elevators move the nose up and down.

1. Flaps
   Leading edge devices
2. Spoilers
   All of the above

All of these are examples of secondary flight controls. The list also includes trim devices.

1. Wings
   Wheels
2. Main body

The fuselage is the main body of the aircraft. The aircraft structure is also composed of wings, empennage and landing gear.

1. Create balance
   Produce thrust
2. Increase torque

Propeller blades are curved on one side and flat on the other in order to produce thrust. Without thrust, you're not going to have much luck on your aircraft.

1. In the tail
   In the nose
2. The outer edge of the wings

Ailerons are located on the outer edge of the wings. Ailerons usually work in opposition of one another.

1. The wings
   The engine
2. The propeller

Cowling is located around the engine. The cowling is a kind of removable cover.

1. Up and down
   Side to side
2. Around in circles

Pitch makes an airplane go up and down. Bank makes the airplane roll or turn.

1. 3
   5
2. 10

There are three axes of flight. These are pitch, roll and yaw.

1. Chord of an airfoil
   Direction of relative wind
2. Both

The angle of attack is formed by the chord of an airfoil and the direction of relative wind. The phrase does not literally mean that you're going to attack anyone.

1. Weight
   Thrust
2. Drag
   Wind

Drag is the aerodynamic motion opposing a plane's movement through the air.

1. Land at another airport
   Clear to land
2. Continue circling

When you see that steady red light up in the air, it means that you need to keep circling. It doesn't necessarily mean that there is any danger on land.

1. Engine
   Propeller
2. Both

The engine and the propellers are the two components of the power plant. The engine is, of course, made up of cylinders, pistons and fans.

1. Constant force creates acceleration
   A body at rest stays at rest
2. One body exerts force on another

Newton's first law of motion states that a body at rest stays at rest, and a body in motion stays in motion. Anyone sitting on the couch knows that.

1. Lift
   Speed
2. Thrust

Thrust opposes the rearward retarding force of airplane drag. Think of it like checks and balances.

1. Elemental thrust of engine
   Horizontal component of lift
2. Vertical elevation of drag

The horizontal component of lift is what makes an airplane turn. There is no vertical elevation of drag, but it sounds cool.

1. Landing the plane
   Rolling the plane
2. Slowing the plane

Ailerons are used for controlling roll.

1. Engine
   Wing
2. Cockpit

A tachometer is an engine instrument. So is an ammeter and altitude in MSL.

1. Green
   Red
2. Blue

At night, airport taxiways are illuminated by blue omnidirectional edge lights. And they look pretty from overhead.

1. True
2. False

It's false that all the parts of the empennage are fixed. There are both stable and moving parts.

1. The plane dips
   The nose goes up
2. The plane accelerates

The nose goes up on a plane when the elevator trim tabs are lowered. This is important for takeoff.

1. Greater lift
   More drag
2. Both

When wingflaps are in the down position, or extended, they provide greater lift and more drag. Sometimes, you just need a little more lift and drag, y'all.

1. Clear to land
   Clear to taxi
2. Danger ahead

The flashing green light from air traffic control means that a pilot is cleared to taxi. Make sure the light is flashing!

1. Airspeed indicator
   Altimeter
2. Ongenator

Yep, there is no such thing as an ongenator. There are airspeed indicators, altimeters, altitude indicators and velocity indicators.
