484. Upon which factor does wing loading during a level coordinated turn in smooth air
depend?
 A. Rate of turn.
 B. Angle of bank.
 C. True airspeed.
Load factor is independent of airspeed and dependent on angle of bank; therefore,
with a constant bank angle, load factor is not affected. There is no change in
centrifugal force for any given bank - the load factor remains the same.
Answer (A) is incorrect because in a coordinated turn, the rate of turn does not have
any impact on the load factor - it is determined wholly by the angle of bank. Answer
(C) is incorrect because true airspeed has no impact on the load factor.
485. Which direction from the primary control surface does an anti-servo tab move?
 A. Same direction.
 B. Opposite direction.
 C. Remains fixed for all positions.
Anti-servo tabs move in the same direction as the primary control surface.
Answer (B) is incorrect because a servo tab moves in the opposite direction from the
primary control surface. Answer (C) is incorrect because trim tabs remain fixed during
control inputs.
486. Which of the following is considered a primary flight control?
 A. Slats.
 B. Elevator.
 C. Dorsal fin.
The primary group of flight control surfaces consists of ailerons, elevators, and
rudders.
Answer (A) is incorrect because slats are high-lift devices, not a flight control device.
Answer (C) is incorrect because a dorsal fin is not a primary flight control, but is used
to provide directional stability.
487. What is one disadvantage of a sweptwing design?
 A. The wing root stalls prior to the wingtip section.
 B. The wingtip section stalls prior to the wing root.
 C. Severe pitchdown moment when the center of pressure shifts forward.
When sweepback is combined with taper there is an extremely powerful tendency for
the wing tip to stall first.
488. Which is a purpose of ground spoilers?
