WHAT AUTHORIZATION MUST YOU HAVE IN “CONTROLLED” AIRSPACE?
ATC AUTHORIZATION
VLOS
VUSUAL LINE OF SIGHT (MUST BE MAINTAINED)
REMAIN CLEAR OF
MANNED AIRCRAFTS
AVOID:
TRAFFIC PATTERNS
APPROACHES
RUNWAYS
TAXIWAYS

LIFT FACTOR
PULLS AIRCRAFT UP
WEIGHT FACTOR
PULLS AIRCRAFT DOWN
VECTOR
A FORCE IN A DIRECTION
THRUST
FORWARD PULLING FORCE CREATED BY PROPELLOR
DRAG
FORCE THAT TRIES TO HOLD AIRCRAFT BACK
2 TYPES OF DRAG
PARASITE & INDUCED
FOUR FORCES OF FLIGHT
LIFT, THRUST, WEIGHT, DRAG
LIFT EQUALS ____ THRUST EQUALS ____ IN ___________ FLIGHT
WEIGHT, DRAG, UNACCELERATED
THREE AXES OF CONTROL
LONGITUDINAL AXIS, LATERAL AXIS, VERTICAL AXIS
LONGITUDINAL AXIS MOTION ____
ROLL ______
ROLL, AILERONS
LATERAL AXIS MOTION ____
CONTROL _____
PITCH, ELEVATOR (OR STABILATOR)
VERTICAL AXIS rotational MOTION_____
CONTROL _____
YAW, RUDDER
AIRFOIL
AN OBJECT THAT PRODUCES AN AERODYNAMIC FORCE WHEN MOVED THROUGH A FLUID
AIRFOIL IS USED TO PRODUCE
LIFT
AIRFOIL IS DEFINIED BY
LEADING EDGE, TRAILING EDGE, AND CAMBER
LINE FROM LEADING EDGE AND TRAILING EDGE
CHORD
DIRECTION OF FLIGHT IS OPPOSED BY
RELATIVE WIND
RELATIVE WIND IS ALWAYS
OPPOSITE OF THE DIRECTION OF FLIGHT
HOW IS LIFT PRODUCED?
AIRFLOW UNDER AND OVER THE WING
WEIGHT IS
CONSTANT
ANGLE OF ATTACK
THE ANGLE FORMED BY THE WING’S CHORD LINE AND THE RELATIVE WIND
POSITIVE ANGLE OF ATTACK IS REQUIRED TO PRODUCE
LIFT
ATTACHED AIRFLOW
ATTACHED AIRFLOW
AIR FOLLOWS THE SURFACE OF THE AIRFOIL UNDER AND OVER AND LIFT IS PRODUCED
IN CRUISE FLIGHT THERE IS
RELATIVELY LOW ANGLE OF ATTACK
INCREASING ANGLE OF ATTACK INCREASES
LIFT
CRITICAL ANGLE OF ATTACK
THE FARTHEST THE ANGLE OF ATTACK CAN GO BEFORE IT STALLS
STALL
ABRUPT LOSS OF LIFT. OCCURS WHEN THE CRITICAL ANGLE OF ATTACK IS EXCEEDED
ANGLE OF ATTACK
THE ANGLE DESCRIBED BY THE RELATIVE WIND AND THE WING’S CHORD LINE
BERNOULLI’S PRINCIPLE
WHEN THE SPEED OF A FLUID IS INCREASES ITS PRESSURE DECREASES
AS A DENSITY OF A FLUID DECREASES (IT’S THINNING OUT)
SO DOES IT’S PRESSURE
AIRFLOW MOLECULES GO FASTER OVER THE CAMBER, WHICH PRODUCES A ___ ____ _____
LOW AIR PRESSURE
UNDER THE WING, THERE IS A _____ AIR PRESSURE
HIGHER
FLUIDS MOVE FROM AREA’S OF ____ PRESSURE TO AREAS OF _____ PRESSURE
HIGH, LOW
NEWTONS THIRD LAW OF MOTION
FORCES BETWEEN TWO OBJECTS EXIST IN EQUAL MAGNITUDE AND IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS (EVERY ACTION HAS AN EQUAL AN OPPOSITE REACTION)
AIR MOLECULES FLOWING UNDER THE WING ARE DEFLECTED DOWN, AND
PUSH UP THE WING BECAUSE OF NEWTONS LAW
PROPELLER EQUALS
AIRFOIL
LOAD FACTOR
AMOUNT OF FORCE IMPOSED ON AN AIRCRAFT STRUCTURE BASED ON THE amount of LIFT BEING PRODUCED. MEASURED IN G’s
LOAD FACTOR MAY INCREASE
ANYTIME THE AIRCRAFT IS SUBJECTED TO MANEUVERS OTHER THAN STRAIGHT AND LEVEL FLIGHT
IN STRAIGHT AND LEVEL, UNNACELERATED FLIGHT, THE LOAD FACTOR IS
1
TO MAINTAIN A LOAD FACTOR OF 1 IN A 30 DEGREE BANK, THE AIRCRAFT MUST BE….
DESCENDING
WHICH BASIC FLIGHT MANEUVER INCREASES THE LOAD FACTOR ON AN AIRPLANE AS COMPARED TO STRAIGHT AND LEVEL FLIGHT
TURNS
THE AMOUNT OF EXCESS LOAD THAT CAN BE IMPOSED ON THE WING OF AN AIRPLANE DEPENDS UPON THE
SPEED OF THE AIRCRAFT
WHEN LOAD FACTOR INCREASES
STALL SPEED INCREASES
WHEN ARE THE FOUR FORCES THAT ACT ON AN AIRPLANE IN EQUILIBRIUM?
DURING UNACCELERATED FLIGHT
WHEN ARE THE FOUR FORCES THAT ACT ON AN AIRPLANE IN EQUILIBRIUM?
DURING UNACCELERATED FLIGHT
WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP OF LIFT, DRAG, THRUST, AND WEIGHT WHEN THE AIRPLANE IS IN STRAIGHT AND LEVEL FLIGHT?
LIFT EQUALS WEIGHT, THRUST EQUALS DRAG
