Ch 21 - Turning Flashcards
1
Q
Centripetal Force
A
Acts towards the centre of the circle
Lift produces the centripetal force, the horizontal component in the turn
2
Q
Centrifugal Force
A
Tries to throw you out of the circle
3
Q
Load Factor
A
L/W
The load factor is more than 1 in a turn
LF = 1/Cos theta
More AoB = More Load
4
Q
Forces in the horizontal
A
Tan (AoB) = V squared / gravity x radius
r = v^2/g tan (AoB)
5
Q
Rate of Turn
A
Circumference = Pie r^2
Time = Pie r^2 / V
Rate 1 turn = 3` per second
RoT = TAS / radius (Radians)
RoT = TAS / radius X 60 (Degrees)
6
Q
AoB for a rate one turn
A
= SPD(kts) / 10 +7
