Q

What is the connection between ground affect and static source? How does it affect the airborne speed.

A

ground effect
causes an increase in the local pressure at the static source and produces a lower indication of airspeed and altitude.
Thus, an aircraft may be airborne at an indicated airspeed less than that normally required.

18
Q

What are the two types of flight controls?

A

Primary and Secondary/auxiliary

19
Q

What is the main purpose of primary flight controls?

A

The primary flight controls maneuver the aircraft about the pitch, roll, and yaw axes.

20
Q

What are the primary flight controls?

A

ailerons, elevator, and rudder.

21
Q

What are the Secondary or auxiliary flight controls

A

tabs, leading edge flaps, trailing edge

flaps, spoilers, and slats.

22
Q

what is cruise control means?

A

optimum airspeed,

altitude, and power setting to maintain the 99 percent maximum specific range condition

23
Q

Calibrated airspeed is best described as indicated airspeed Corrected for

A

installation and instrument erros

24
Q

why Runway slope increases takeoff distance?

A

engine’s

power is being used to climb the slope as opposed to accelerate

25
The maximum speed at which an aircraft may be stalled safely is
"design maneuvering speed" {VA)
26
What is a Mach Number?
In highspeed | flight and/or high-altitude flight, the measurement of speed is expressed in terms of a "Mach number"
27
How to calculate the Mach number?
the ratio | of the true airspeed of the aircraft to the speed of sound in the same atmospheric conditions.
28
-An aircraft traveling at the speed of sound is traveling at Mach _____
-An aircraft traveling at the speed of sound is traveling at Mach 1.0.
29
What is the sound speed at 15 C at sea level?
661 knots
30
______ is termed "critical Mach number
Mach 1.0
31
Exceeding critical Mach may result in the onset of compressibility effects such as
by buffet and aircraft control difficulties can occur.
32
Accelera ting past crit ical Mach may result in the onset of compressibility effects such as
stability difficulties.
33
what is point of "drag divergence" when you pass Mach 1.0
At speeds 5- 10 percent above the critical Mach number, compressibility effects begin. Drag begins to rise sharply. Associated with the "drag rise" are buffet, trim and stability changes, and a decrease in control surface effectiveness.
34
What does pitch setting mean?
the propeller blade setting determined by the blade angle specified by the instruction manual for the propeller.
35
Transonic airflow typically occurs between airspeed regimes of Mach
0. 75 to 1.20
36
Subsonic
Mach numbers below 0.75
37
Supersonic
Mach numbers from 1.20 to 5.00
38
Hypersonic
Mach numbers above 5.00
39
What range is normal for civilian jet aircraft
Mach 0.7 to Mach 0.90.
40
military aircraft flights in what airspeed regimes?
transonic and supersonic
