11.9 Stall Warning Flashcards
what can an aircraft computer do when it comes to stalling?
calculate when an aircraft is near stall condition
what other stall prevention techniques are there?
stick shaker that provides a violent shaking motion
what is pitch attitude?
the angle between the longitudinal axis and the horizon
where can you see the pitch attitude?
on the attitude indicator or the artificial horizon
how does the aircraft computer work out the planes angle of attack (AOA)?
by using the angle of attack vanes mounted on the side of the fuselage
what angle is the maximum angle of attack?
14 degrees
how does AOA and lift interchange?
as the angle of attack increases up to a certain point, the lift also increases
What happens if you exceed the maximum AOA?
if the angle of attack becomes too large, an airflow separation occurs, and the aircraft stalls
what AOA function has priority over all protection functions?
high angle of attack protects against stalling
