29. While maintaining a stabilized approach, what control input should the
pilot use to correct for airspeed deviations, change the pitch or change
the power?
30. Define “aiming point” according to the airplane flying handbook.
31. While maintaining a stabilized approach, what control input should the
pilot use to correct for the aiming point moving up in the windshield,
change the pitch or change the power?
32. If the aiming point is moving up in the windshield, is the airplane moving
lower or higher reference the constant angle glidepath?
33. What does it mean if a pilot flying in level flight has to physically keep the
airplane from climbing by applying forward pressure on the yoke?
34. What does it mean if a pilot flying in level flight has to physically keep the
airplane from descending by applying aft pressure on the yoke?
35. According to Cessna, what is the best flap setting for a normal landing a
C172?
36. How should the approach speed be adjusted for gusty winds?
37. Calculate the correct approach speed until short final given the following
conditions.
• Flaps 20˚
• Winds 240 @ 8, gusting to 18
38. Why is correctly adjusting the seat position before each flight important?
39. When should the pilot get ATIS, brief the approach, and complete the
Approach Checklist?
40. Are the power settings listed on the landing profiles exact or approximate?
41. Is the aiming point also the touchdown point? If not, what is the difference?
