Slow Flight Flashcards
1
Q
How is altitude maintained during low airpseeds?
A
The angle of attack must be increasedq
2
Q
What happens to induced drag as speed decreases?
A
Induced drag increases
3
Q
What happens to parasite drag as speed decreases?
A
Parasite drag decreases
4
Q
What is the point of “airspeed for maximum endurance”?
A
The airspeed the corresponds to the lowest possible drag
5
Q
What is the area between the “maximum endurance airspeed” and “stall airspeed”?
A
Region of reversed command
6
Q
What happens in the region of reversed command if you increase power?
A
Altitude is maintained and speed is slower
7
Q
At what airspeed should slow flight occur?
A
Between 5-10 knots of stall speed
