Aerodynamics

Question 1

Slow Flight

Answer 1

Impending Stall

Effects:- Airspeed decreases (5-10 knots above stall speed)- “Mushy” controls- Flying at the backside of the curve

Importance:
✔To recognize characteristics of flight at a very low airspeed
✔Perform configurations appropriate for takeoffs, climbs, descents, approaches, landing and go-arounds

Question 2

Aerodynamic Stall

Answer 2

An aerodynamic loss of lift caused by exceeding the critical angle of attack.

Question 3

Stall Recognition:

Answer 3

▪ High Angle of Attack
▪ Low Airspeed
▪ Buffeting or shaking
▪ Unusual yoke position
▪ Stall warning horn

Question 4

Stall Recovery

Answer 4

✔Reduce the angle of attack
✔Add power to increase thrust
✔Climb to recover altitude loss

Question 5

Spins

Answer 5

an aggravated stall that results in an airplane descending in a helical, or corkscrew path
