flying Flashcards
How do you reduce airspeed
P. Reduce power
A attitude raise nose to maintain level flight
T. Trim
How do you Increase air speed
P . Increase power
A . Attitude lower nose to maintain level flight
T . Trim
What is LIFE
L location where are we
I instruments engine temp, pressures checked
F fuel contents how much used
E elapsed time, compare fuel
What is VX
Airspeed for the best angle of climb (takes you on a steeper path)
What is VY
Airspeed for best rate of climb ( gets you there quicker)
How do you level off
A attitude lower nose to level attitude hold until desired airspeed
P power reduce power to cruise RpM balance with rudder
T trim
Enter a descent from level flight
A attitude
P power
T trim
Level out or enter climb from desent
P&A power & attitude together
T trim
What is ASI
Air speed indicator
What’s the indications of the incipient stall
Aerodynamic buffet (shaking) Severe nose heaviness Lateral instability (wing drop)
Recovery from slow flight and incipient stall
Stick forward , increase power if wing drops opposite rudder once air speed is in safe margin raise nose
What is HASELL
H hight min 1000 A airframe (flaps etc) S security seatbelt L location clear of airspace L lookout
When does stall happen
The stall occurs whenever the critical angle of attack is exceeded
Characteristics of the fully developed stall
An increase of lift An increase of drag Aerodynamic buffet Nose drop Posable wing drop Height lose
Pitch only recovery from a stall
Stick forward
As soon as safe airspeed is achieved raise the nose
