17 Ground Effects Flashcards
1
Q
Entering ground effects
A
- Induced drag decreases
- Lift increases
- Stalling AOA decreases
- Nose pitches down
- IAS under reads
2
Q
Leaving ground effect
A
- Induced drag increases
- Lift decreases
- Stalling AOA increases
- Nose pitches up
- IAS will read normal
3
Q
Ballooning is:
A
When entering ground effect, downwash is decrease so the effective AOA is increased. This boosts Lift.
4
Q
Float is:
A
When entering ground effect, downwash is decreased so the induced AOA is decreased which reduces induced drag. Therefore speed increases.
