Question 9

What Newton and Bernoulli Discover?

Answer 9

Newton: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

Bernoulli: If the velocity of air is increased at a particular point, the static pressure of the air is decreased at that point.

Question 10

Four Forces of flight?

Answer 10

Lift
Gravity
Thrust
Drag

Question 11

When does the Centrifugal Force occur?

Answer 11

Only occurs only when the airplane is turning or changing directions.

Question 12

What are the four factors that contribute to yawing tendency?

Answer 12

1. Torque reaction to the engine and propeller
2. Propeller’s gyroscopic effect
3. Corkscrewing effect (propeller slipstream)
4. Asymmetric loading of the propeller (P-factor)

Question 13

What is Torque Reaction?

Answer 13

The aircraft rotates opposite to the propeller creating a rolling tendency left which yaws the aircraft right

Question 14

What does P.A.T. stand for?

Answer 14

Power
Attitude
Trim

Question 15

What order do you trim?

Answer 15

Rudder
Elevator
Ailerons

Question 19

Four Sight Limitations

Answer 19

Visual Accommodation- (2-3 sec to focus)
Empty Field Myopia-Nothing to focus on in view
Binocular Vision-minds tends ignore things that both eyes don’t see
Narrow Field of Vision-you can only focus and classify objects in a 15 degree area. (Tunnel Vision)

Question 20

You scan 60 degrees left and right of center and 10 degrees up and down of the horizon

Question 21

Types of scan patterns

Answer 21

Front to side

Side to side

Question 22

Types of Hydroplaning

Answer 22

Dynamic - Water
Viscous - Film of oil or other foreign material
Rubber - layer steam generated from burning rubber

Question 23

Primary purpose of high lift devices?

Answer 23

Increase the coefficient of lift and reduce stall speed

Question 24

What is adverse yaw?

Answer 24

Downward deflected aileron produces more lift and drag, while the other aileron produce less lift and drag resulting in a veering movement toward up going wing.

Answer 34

Turning into the wind at an angle to produce a desired ground track. 1 degree of crab per 3 knots of crosswind Twice as much crab on downwind then on upwind

Question 35

What is the primary factor which affects an airplane's ability to climb?

Answer 35

Excess power available

Question 36

Climbing Turn Factors

Answer 36

Decrease in effective lift relative to climbs and turns Degree of bank should be neither too steep or to shallow A constant airspeed,rate of turn and AOB must be stress Greater tendency towards nose heaviness Attention should be diverted from the airplanes nose and divided among all references equally
