Tire Damage Quiz

First Last

True / False

Taxi speed should be controlled with brakes first and then reduction of power, only if required.*

True
False

An airplane, such as the Cessna 172, DA20, DA40 or SR20, is more prone to skid the tires when only the front row seats are occupied.*

True
False

Deceleration has little or no effect of the "weight on main tires" if the airplane is loaded within it's center of gravity limitations.*

True
False

Just as with your automobile, the anti-skid system on light airplanes will prevent tire damage due excessive braking.*

True
False

Landing with the flaps deployed, allows a slower approach speed, which will always increase the weight on the tires during landing.*

True
False

Heavy braking for deceleration while exiting the runway is acceptable, since the load on both tires is greater while turning.*

True
False

Pilots are prone to skid tires if the approach speed is too fast and the brakes are used to decelerate.*

True
False

A pilot should use "aerodynamic braking", holding the airplane in a nose high attitude to help decelerate, minimizing the need to apply brakes during rollout.*

True
False

Upon landing, pilots must always exit at the first available runway exit, especially if the tower instructions include "if able".*

True
False

Good pilots are always able to make the first "turn off" during landing rollout.*

True
False

Decelerating during the landing rollout, the pilot should assure that the throttle has been brought to full idle.*

True
False

During take-off and landing, pilots should keep their toes (balls of feet) on the lowest portion of the rudder pedals.*

True
False

Fill in the blank

Each additional five knots of approach speed will add approximately ____ percent to the landing rollout.*

The correct RPM to taxi under normal conditions is between _____ and ____ RPM.*

While practicing Short Field landings, rather than using the brakes, the pilot in training will say "_____________" and "____________" simulated.*

A tower controller instructs the pilot to exit the runway at "Bravo", but the pilot believes he is still rolling too fast. He should simply announce "___________" and continue to the next exit.*
