Significant Weather Prognostic Charts
Depicts Weather Phenomena, Weather Rules, turbulence, and freezing levels. Issued four times a day
Convective Outlook Chart
depicts areas forecast to have the potential for severe and non severe convection and specific weather threats during a 3 day forecast
Constant Pressure Analysis Chart
Shows air temp, wind, temp/dew point spread. Issued twice daily.
Angle of Incidence Defined
The angle formed by the longitudinal axis of the airplane and the chord of the wing. Fixed Angle cannot be changed
What factors affect lift and drag
Wing area, shape of airfoil, angle of attack, velocity of air, air density
What effect does torque reaction have on an airplane on the ground and in flight
In Flight - Torque reaction is acting around the longitudinal axis, tends to make aircraft roll
on the Ground - Torque reaction is acting on the vertical axis, tends to make aircraft yaw
What are the Four Left turning tendencies
Torque
P-Factor
Spiraling Slipstream
Gyroscopic Precession
Centrifugal Force Aviation Defined
Equal and Opposite reaction of lift component in a turn
Load Factor Defined
The ratio of a given load to the pull of gravity
Load Factor risks
Increases load on aircraft structure
Increases stall speed
