Center of Gravity Graphs and Tables Weight and balance questions are a test of a pilot’s ability to load their aircraft correctly. Density Altitude Questions about density altitude range from computing the effects of changes in air temperature to evaluating the best response in a given flight scenario.

This happens regardless of weight, bank angle, temperature, density altitude, or center of gravity. An airplane will, however, always stall at the same angle of attack, called the critical angle of attack. An angle of attack (AOA) indicator can determine the aerodynamic health of the airfoil (wing).

2: What effect does high density altitude have on the efficiency of a UA propeller? Density altitude does not affect propeller efficiency. You should expect to see questions that show you understand what happens when you change an aircraft’s balance, stability, and center of gravity.
