27. Steep Turns

Question 1

Steep turns are flown with a bank of:

Answer 1

at least 45 degrees.

Question 2

Stress on an airplane’s structure will occur:

Answer 2

When any force applied to the airplane deflects it from straight flight.

Question 3

Airplane design incorporates the load factors experienced in three categories:

Answer 3

1. Normal
2. Utility
3. Acrobatic.

Question 4

The load factor on any airplane during a constant altitude turn is determined by:

Answer 4

Bank alone.

Question 5

The load factor in a level, coordinated turn with 60 degrees of bank is:

Answer 5

2.00 Gs.

Question 6

A heavier airplane, due to increased load factor, will stall at:

Answer 6

A higher speed.

Question 7

A reliable indicator of load factor is:

Answer 7

Seat-of-the-pants flying.

Question 8

What is design maneuvering speed?

Answer 8

The “rough air” speed and the maximum speed for abrupt maneuvers to minimize stress on the airplane.

Question 9

Fly steep turns at (how many feet)?

Answer 9

No less than 1,500 feet AGL.
