Let's see what you know!

1. 1) Which phase of a spin is associated with the stabilization of rotation and airspeed?

   The fully developed phase is classified as the part of the spin where rotation and airspeed stabilize.

   Induced drag is drag associated with the production of lift, so, adding flaps and increasing the angle of attack would increase lift but also increase induced drag.

3. 3) What two speeds come to mind when you hear "maximum excess thrust" and "maximum excess power"?

   Maximum excess thrust is Vx and maximum excess power is Vy.

4. 4) Ground effect is associated with a ________ in performance due to reduced _________. This causes drag to _______ and vertical lift to _______.
   

   When entering ground effect, you get an overall increase in performance due to the reduction in downwash/wingtip vortices which causes induced drag to decrease and vertical lift to increase.
