AE104 Flashcards
Maximum range is defined as?
maximum distance an aircraft can fly on a given amount of fuel
Critical Mach number is defined as?
Mach number that produces the first evidence of local supersonic flow
Flying at what speed will give you the most distance for the airplane’s altitude if the engine fails?
Best glide speed (125 knots)
A headwind will do what to maximum glide range?
Decrease it
Landing roll is decreased by what?
Decreased weight Increased density Decreased altitude Decreased temperature Increased camber Headwind
P-factor is caused by what?
one propeller blade creating more thrust than its opposing blade
If the propeller rotates clockwise, torque is…?
torque is opposite or counterclockwise
Turn rate and radius are based on what factors?
Velocity, bank angle
In a skid, the balance ball of the turn and bank indicator is where?
Deflected in the opposite direction of the turn
Thrust must increase in a turn due to the increase in what?
Drag
Load factor is the ratio of what?
Load/weight
Limit load factor is defined as?
the greatest load factor an airplane can sustain without risk of permanent deformation or damage
Asymmetric G limits are lower than symmetric, why?
Because the lift on the up-going wing is experiencing more G than what is read on the accelerometer
The G force required to maintain a 60° bank level turn is?
2 G
What is Positive static stability?
the initial tendency of an object to return to its original equilibrium
What is neutral dynamic stability?
It is where oscillations never dampen but remain at a constant amplitude
Which definition of stability is this:
After a disturbance that rolls the airplane, “…it generates forces that reduce the bank angle and returns it to wings-level”
lateral stability
Cross-coupling causes what?
Spiral and directional divergence
A PIO in the pitch axis is the result of what?
the pilot and the inherent longitudinal stability of the airplane simultaneously trying to correct for
the same oscillations
Max range is defined as?
the farthest distance an airplane can travel on a given amount of fuel
Max endurance is what?
the maximum time that an airplane can remain airborne on a given amount of fuel
Max glide range (flown at Best Glide Speed) is obtained how?
By flying at L/DMAX airspeed
Gaining the most altitude in a given amount of time is obtained how?
By climbing at Max Rate of Climb
When is slipstream swirl most noticeable?
at high power settings and low airspeed
Ultimate load factor for the T-6A is defined as what?
the maximum load factor that the airplane can withstand without structural failure
Turn radius is measured as what?
Amount of degrees per second
Critical Mach is defined as ?
the Mach number that produces the first evidence of local supersonic flow
Sideslip angle is what?
the difference between the flightpath and the longitudinal axis
When flying at maximum endurance airspeed in the T-6A, increasing AOA to maintain level flight
will result in what (airspeed and power)?
slower airspeed requiring more power
How can takeoff distance be reduced?
Decrease weight Increase headwind Increase density Decrease temperature Decrease altitude Increase camber
