o C) Tail rotor (antitorque rotor)
o D) Stabilizer bar
5. Yaw in helicopters is equivalent to which motion in airplanes?
o A) Pitch
o B) Roll
o C) Yaw
o D) Lift
6. Pushing the left antitorque pedal increases:

o B) Tail rotor thrust, nose yaw right
o C) Nose yaw forward
o D) Main rotor RPM
7. Pushing the right antitorque pedal decreases:

o C) Main rotor torque
o D) Collective pitch
8. In neutral pedal position, the tail rotor pitch angle is:
o A) Negative
o B) Zero
o C) Medium positive
o D) Maximum positive
9. A vertical fin on helicopters helps with:

o B) Torque reduction
o C) Directional stability
o D) Increasing RPM
10. If the vertical fin is too large, heading control becomes difficult at:
o A) High speeds
o B) Low speeds or hover in wind
o C) During autorotation
o D) During climb
11. Hovering turns in helicopters are commonly referred to as:
o A) Cyclic turns
o B) Collective turns

o D) Fin turns
12. Dissymmetry of lift occurs when:

o B) Rotor blades advance and retreat in forward flight
o C) Tail rotor thrust is zero
o D) Vertical fin is too small
13. Blade tip stall is most likely to occur:
o A) At low RPM
o B) During autorotation
