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: =
1213
What force causes an airplane to turn?
Horizontal lift component.
Force Turn: Ho
1215
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.
Increase SPD, Decrease Rate
- Rate is time; it would decrease if we’re faster
- Radius would increase
1216
Conditions that determine the pitch attitude required to maintain level flight are
airspeed, air density, wing design, and angle of attack.
1249
Once characteristic that a properly functioning gyro depends upon for operation is the
Resistance to deflection of the spinning wheel or disc.
1342
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
1343
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.
2632
If you are performing a standard rate turn, and want to increase airspeed while maintaining turn rate, you must
increase angle of bank.
Increase SPD, Increase Bank

The instruments for pitch are the
Attitude indicator, airspeed indicator, and VSI.
