2: A stall occurs when the smooth airflow over the unmanned airplane’s wing is disrupted and the lift degenerates rapidly. Correct answer: C Operations The final category of test questions covers all the remaining topics, from radio procedures to aeronautical decision-making. Correct answer: B Example question No.

Icing: Ice buildup can reduce lift and increase drag. Unless managed, this makes the aircraft harder to control. Turbulence: Rough air can make flying uncomfortable or even hazardous if severe. Remember that no one is immune to hazardous attitudes, and external pressures can make them even worse.

Not Recognizing the Need for a Go-Around Choosing when to go around is one of the most important decisions a pilot can make. It’s an extension of good aeronautical decision-making (ADM). It makes the pilot work much harder, increasing mental and physical fatigue.

And the finest example of a Cirrus SR22 is not going to want to lift a full load out of a backcountry strip on a warm afternoon with a density altitude reading five digits. On Deciding Aeronautical decision-making, or ADM, is a fashionable buzz phrase that is, in reality, as old as flight itself.

When you bank, with all other factors constant, the total lift doesn’t change. However, the direction in which the lift acts does. The lift splits into a horizontal and vertical component. The former allows you to make the turn. To arrest this descent, you need to generate more lift.
