flight operationsFAA-published sample question (AGI, Aug 2021)
If poor aircraft controllability is experienced during an emergency go-around with full flaps, the cause is most probably due to
A
excessive airspeed with full flaps extended.
B
the high-power, low-airspeed situation with the airplane trimmed for a full-flap configuration.✓ Correct Answer
C
a reduction in the angle of attack with full flaps to the point where the aircraft control is greatly impaired.
Explanation
During a go-around the airplane is slow, trimmed nose-up for the full-flap approach, and suddenly given takeoff power; the Airplane Flying Handbook notes that this combination produces strong pitch-up and left-turning tendencies that can make control difficult. Airspeed is low, not excessive, and flaps do not reduce angle of attack to the point of losing control.
