Basic Flashcards
What is the relationship between centrifugal force and the horizontal lift component in a coordinated turn?
Horizontal lift and centrifugal force are equal.
CF & HO: =
What force causes an airplane to turn?
Horizontal lift component.
Force Turn: Ho
During a constant bank level turn, what effect would an increase in airspeed have on the rate and radius of turn?
Rate would decrease, and radius would increase.
BANK: Rate D
Conditions that determine the pitch attitude required to maintain level flight are
airspeed, air density, wing design, and angle of attack.
Bitch: Air Air
Once characteristic that a properly functioning gyro depends upon for operation is the
Resistance to deflection of the spinning wheel or disc.
Gyro: Resistance
When airspeed is increased in a turn, what must be done to maintain a constant altitude?
Increase the angle of bank and/or decrease the pitch attitude.
Turn-Constant: N &/ D
The primary reason the pitch attitude must be increased, to maintain a constant altitude during a coordinated turn, is because the
Vertical component of lift has decrease as the result of the bank.
Constant-Turn: Vertical component
If you are performing a standard rate turn, and want to increase airspeed while maintaining turn rate, you must
increase angle of bank.
Maintain Turn: N Bank
The instruments for pitch are the
Attitude indicator, airspeed indicator, and VSI.
Pitch: AAV
