Q

Where is ground effect greatest

20
Q

What will flaps do to CL MAX and AOA

A

CL MAX: increase
AOA: reduce

21
Q

What will leading edge devices do to AOA and CL MAX

A

Increase both

22
Q

What is the relationship between temp and LSS

23
Q

Above the tropopause what happens to TAS

A

Remains constant

24
Q

What happens when an aircraft accelerates into the transonic speed

A

AOA decrease due to compressability

25
What happens in a climb above the tropopause
IAS decrease
26
What happens in a descent below the tropopause
TAS constant
27
What does LSS equation
38.95 x square root temp kelvin
28
To avoid exceeding MMO you must:
Stop flying IAS and fly mach
29
To avoid exceeding VMO you must:
Stop flying Mach and use IAS
30
Climb below tropopause what happens to CL
Increase
31
What does VB VC VD equal
VB= 66ft/sec VC= 50ft/sec VD= 25ft/sec
32
How to calculate load factor
Change in Cl x change in AOA= y Y+old Cl= new Cl New Cl/old Cl= n
33
What is Pitch angle
Longitudinal and horizon
34
What is bank angle
Lateral and horizontal
35
What is path angle
Speed vector and horizon
36
Where is AOA
Speed vector and longitudinal
37
What tendency will a cambered aerofoil have
Pitch down
38
When you have a trimmed aircraft with a forward CG, what will the controls feel like
Normal
39
What is stick force per g proportional to?
Altitude
40
What does a higher mass do to Mcrit
Lower Mcrit because of a greater AOA to maintain level flight
41
What does perpendicular link to
Cosine
42
If flying at a normal speed and you feel rumbling in the rudder what does it mean
Slack control links
43
What is load factor not affected by
Weight
44
Load factors of a aerobatic plane
+6, -3
45
Load factors of a utility plane
+4.4, -1.76
46
Load factors of a normal plane
+3.8, -1.52
47
Load factors of a transport plane
