Basic flight maneuvers Flashcards
What is integrated flight instruction
The use of outside references in flight instruments to establish maintained desired flight attitudes in airplane performance
What is the order of trim in an aircraft with multiple trim axes
Rudder then elevator and then aileron trim
What is a shallow turn
Bank angle is approximately 20° or less
What is a medium turn
Degree of bank between approximately 20° in 45°
What is a steep turn
Degree of bank of approximately 45° or more
During a skid which way does the pilot feel the sideways force
Pilot feels sideways forced to the outside of the turn
During a slip which way does pilot feel the sideways force
But it feels the sideways forced to the inside of the turn
What is the rule of thumb for the amount of lead required to roll out on the desired heading
Lead by 1/2 the angle of bank so if it’s 30° angle bank need to roll out by 15°
What is class a airspace
Between 18,000 and 60,000 feet above sea level
Where do flight levels begin
Class a airspace about 18,000 feet is where are start reporting flight levels
What is requirement to enter class a airspace
Plane has to be IFR capable and pilots have to be IFR capable
What do you do with the altimeter for class a airspace
Set it to standard pressure 29. 92
What is class bravo airspace
Surface to 10,000 feet upside down wedding cake around the 27 busiest airports in the United States
What is required to enter class bravo airspace
You need explicit permission to enter and you need reporting equipment for altitude on the aircraft
What is class Charlie airspace look like
Also upside down wedding cake inner ring is 5 miles surface to 4000 feet outer ring is 10 miles 1200 to 4000 feet
What do you need to enter clash Charlie airspace
Two-way communications with ATC and they need to say your tail number and your aircraft needs to be trackable likely ADSB
What does class Delta air space look like
4 to 7 nautical miles in diameter and from the surface to 2500 feet
What do you need to enter class Delta air space
To way communications
What is class echo airspace
Any air space that is not alpha bravo Charlie delta
in most places it extends down to 1200 feet AGL
in some places it extends down to 700 feet AGL
and then in some places it extends all the way down to the surface
and then it can extend up to 17,999 feet and above 60,000 feet
What are the requirements for class echo airspace
There are no requirements
What is class golf airspace
Any air space that is not alpha, bravo ,Charlie ,delta ,echo
usually around non towered airport surface to 700 feet at an airport
Surface to 1200 feet AGL everywhere else
Class bravo airspace VFR weather minimums
Three statute miles Visibility and clear of clouds
What are the VFR weather minimums for class Charlie and class delta air space
Three statute miles Visibility and 1000 feet above the clouds 500 feet below the clouds and 2000 feet laterally
Best rate of climb Vy
Produces most altitude gained over given amount of time
What is best angle of climb Vx
Produces most altitude gain over a given horizontal distance
What is absolute ceiling of an aircraft
Where best angle of climb and best rate of climb lines intersect
What is P factor
The asymmetric condition resulting from the center of thrust of the propeller moving to the right due to increasing AOA of descending blade
When to start leveling off
10% of the rate of climb so if rate of climb is 500 ft./min. start leveling off 50 feet prior
What is partial power descent
Also called cruise or email route descent . Airspeed and pitch for prolonged descent should be used. 500 Fpm
What is descent at minimum safe airspeed
Nose high poser assisted decent condition principally used for clearing obstacles during approach to Short runways
your speed is normally no greater than 1.3 VSO
What is glide ratio
Distance airplane travels in relation to the altitude of this
What is best glide air speed
Speed where plane travels greatest distance forward for given altitude loss
Also highest lift to drag Point
What is minimum sink speed
Maximize the time in airplane remains in flight and is usually a lower airspeed than the best glide speed
What is the cardinal rule of airplane flying with regards to glide
A pilot should never attempt to stretch a glide by applying back elevator pressure in reducing the airspeed below the best glide speed
Describe the biggest hazard in a low level gliding turn
If the rudder is excessively deflected in the direction of the Bank and the pilot is increasing elevator back pressure in an attempt to retain altitude the situation can turn into an recoverable spin
What is a cross control condition in a gliding airplane
Pilot depressing rudder pedal with excessive pressure that causes plane to bank in direction of rudder deflection and then pilot applies opposite aileron to prevent bank from increasing while applying elevator back pressure will almost certainly result in rapid and unrecoverable spin
What are class echo VFR weather mins
Below 10k ft
3 sm vis 1000 ft above 500 below 2 k ft lateral
Above 10 k ft
5 sm vis 1k ft above 1k ft below 1 sm lateral
Class golf airspace VFR weather mins
1sm vis
Clear of clouds or
1k ft above 500 ft below 2k ft lateral depending on altitude
At night 3sm vis
Is flying airplane an open or closed energy system
Open
What is power available
Rate of energy gain due to max available engine thrust equal to T times V expressed in HP
What is power required
Rate of energy loss due to total drag at a given airspeed usually measured in horsepower
What is specific excess power piece (Ps)
Rate of energy change measured in feet per minute
How do you Calculate Specific excess power (Ps)
Take the difference between power available and power required and divide by the airplanes weight
What is energy height or total specific energy (Es)
Airplanes total energy per unit weight which is found by inviting the sum of potential energy in kinetic energy by the airplanes weight
What is LOC-I
Loss of control in flight
