TRIKE QUIZ

T F = True or False

T F 1) If a trike experiences an engine failure during flight, the first thing the pilot should do, if the trike is equipped with electric start, is to try and restart the engine.

T F 2) A trike can inadvertently stall if the pilot is not managing the throttle properly.

T F 3) Holding the throttle steady is the key to maintaining a particular airspeed.

T F 4) While landing a trike, it is important never to bank the wing, especially at low altitude during the flare.

T F 5) While on short approach for landing, at 75 feet AGL., if the pilot is experiencing excessive sink, the pilot should add power and push the control bar forward to slow the descent towards the ground.

T F 6) To gain as much height as possible before the end of the runway, VX (best angle of climb) should be initiated immediately after lift off.

T F 7) For maximum control of the trike wing, the pilot should keep his/her back securely pressed to the seat back during the landing.

T F 8) While taking off with a crosswind, the wing should be banked as the trike lifts off the ground to compensate for the crosswind.

T F 9) When landing with a crosswind, it is imperative to pull the control bar in immediately after the rear wheels touchdown.

T F 10) If a trike that is taxiing starts to flip over due to an unexpected wind gust, the pilot should apply the brakes and stop the trike immediately.
