Manuvering Flashcards
(11 cards)
What are the 4 left turn tendencies
torque, gyro precession, asymmetrical thrust, spiral slipstream
What is Decending turn
use weight component as the lost of thrust component in the direction of flight path
When is the Best Glide Speed
When Lift/Drag ratio max the plane will glide the longest
What are the factor affecting the glide
Config and Wing (Airplane Weight affect speed)
Load Factor formula
Lift/Weight = 1/cos(θ)
If Wing Load is 2G what angle is the plane turning
2 = 1/cos(θ)
What are the factors of Rate and Radius of Turn
speed and bank angle
If the plane has less speed will the radius of turn bigger or smaller
smaller
What gives the greatest alt. gain in the shortest hoizontal distance
(Vx) Best angle-of-climb airspeed
What gives the greatest alt. gain in the shortest time
(Vy) Best rate of climb airspeed
If an airplane is overweight what can we do?
Could not operate in all condition
