CPL Aerodynamics · Practice

During an abrupt pull-up manoeuvre, the angle of attack of the wing:

• A.Increases rapidly as back pressure raises the nose while inertia keeps the flight path momentarily unchanged
• B.is unchanged because the manoeuvre is entirely within the pitch axis and AoA is unaffected
• C.decreases because the higher airspeed achieved during the pull-up reduces the required CL
• D.decreases to compensate for the increased load factor generated during the pull-up
