trim tab

Answer 12

usually located on elevator,

help minimize workload on flight controls

Question 13

anti-servo tab

Answer 13

provides a control feel, also functions as a trim tab

Question 14

landing gear

Answer 14

supports plane while on ground, normally three wheels

Question 15

conventional landing gear

Answer 15

tailwheel planes, two wheels in front one on tail

Question 16

nose wheel/ tricycle gear

Answer 16

one wheel at the nose, two at the back

steer airplane using rudder pedal

Question 17

fixed gear

Answer 17

always remains extended, low cost

Question 18

retractable gear

Answer 18

stows the landing gear inside the airplane

for high performance aircraft

Question 19

landing gear struts

Answer 19

act as a shock that are attached to the wheels

Question 20

oleo strut

Answer 20

uses a piston enclosed in a cylinder with oil and compressed air to absorb the bumps and jolts

Question 21

disc brakes

Answer 21

can apply brakes by pressing on each rudder pedal

for a straight line press down on both simultaneously

Question 22

differential braking

Answer 22

helps steer the plane while taxiing

Question 23

powerplant

Answer 23

includes the engine and the propeller

Question 24

engine

Answer 24

primary function is for power to the propeller, and heat to the cabin

Question 25

firewall

Answer 25

located between the engine compartment and the cockpit serves as a mounting point protects occupants

Question 26

cowling

Answer 26

increases engine cooling effectiveness by ducting air around the cylinder, encloses the engine compartment

Question 27

propeller

Answer 27

mounted on front of the engine | translates the rotational force of the engine into thrust

Answer 33

Transponder | altimeter and static system

Question 34

100 hour inspections

Answer 34

aircraft used for flight instruction for hire and provided by flight instructor aircraft that carry any person, other than a crew member, for hire may overfly by 10 hours inspection due before 100 hours of flight
