Performance Part 2

Question 1

When the rate of turn is too high for the amount of bank -

Answer 1

a skidding turn will occur

Question 2

when the bank the bank is too steep for the rate or turn -

Answer 2

a slipping turn will occur

Question 3

Will flaps reduce the turn radius?

Answer 3

yes, provided that excess thrust is available for the added drag

Question 4

Climb angle decreases with -

Answer 4

increasing Weight, altitude and temperature.

Question 5

Maximum distance in a glide can be achieved when the aircraft is flown Maximum distance in a glide can be achieved when the aircraft is flown at -

effect of weight on L/D ratio -

effect of weight on glide endurance -

effect of configuration on L/D radio -

Answer 5

L/D MAX (VMD).

Weight will change the L/D ratio, and thus the gliding distance. But, the Vmd will be at a higher speed.

Will reduce the endurance

Will spoil the lift/drag ratio
