Avail to all
Bernoulli principle
Speed of fluid increases pressure decreases
Angle of attack
Angle of chord line and relative wind
Why do propeller planes tendency to turn left
Torque
Spiral slipstream
P factor
Most notable high power high angle of attack and low airspeed
CG
Point aircraft would be balanced
Total moment divided by total weight
Moment
Result of weight multiplied by arm
Arm
Distance from reference datum to CG
Lift
Result of differential pressure between upper and lower wing.
Adverse yaw
Outside wing moves faster creating more drag and pulls nose to it. Use rudder
Steady Red light gun
Stop or give way and continue circling
Coriolis force
Theory that everything deflects right in northern hemisphere
Class B airspace
Transponder 2 way radio comm Clear of clouds 3 miles vis ATC permission
Class C airspace
Transponder VFR cloud clearances 2 way radio Surface to 4000 out to 5 miles 1200 to 4000 5-10 miles (shelf) Vary
Class D airspace
Surface to 2500
5 mile radius
True airspeed
Indicated corrected for temp and pressure
P factor
Tendency to yaw left due to descending propeller blade on right side producing more thrust
Class E airspace
1200- 17999
4 miles either sideofcenterline
