21 Turning

Question 1

What is the Load Factor in a turn?

Answer 1

LF = L/W = 1 / Cos(Phy)

Question 2

The equation for Centripetal Force

Answer 2

CF = (m x V^2) / r

Question 3

Equation for the radius in a turn:

Answer 3

r = V^2 / (g x tan(Phy))

Question 4

What is a rate 1 turn?

Answer 4

3 degrees a second

Question 5

Equation for Rate of Turn:

Answer 5

Rate of turn = (TAS (m/s) / r) * 60

Question 6

What happens to Rate of Turn as speed increases?

Answer 6

RoT decreases as Spd increases or radius decreases.

Because r = V^2 / g x Tan(Phy)

So if TAS x 2 then r x 4 and RoT = TAS / r

Question 7

Equation for the AoB required for a rate 1 turn:

Answer 7

AoB = (TAS (kts) / 10) + 7
