Chapter 27 - Asymmetric Flight Flashcards
Engine failure causes a loss in thrust, the aircraft will
increase drag on dead engine and yaw into it
In flight an engine failure causes
decreased cruise speed and altitude
unable to climb
Factors effecting yawing moments are
Engines thrust
How far the engines are away from the CofG
How much drag is created
How to control asymmetric in flight when yaw becomes uncontrollable
reduce speed
Wing level and banking method used on which a/c
large ac wings level
small ac banking method
What equals the total moment asymmetric
thrust + drag
The secondary effect is roll, why is it rolling
live engine wing will move faster and create more lift
On a jet Vmd will become with an engine failure and why
slightly less
more parasite drag - moves up and left
On a prop Vx will be
slightly increased
clockwise propeller will move the thrust line right why?
increased AOA on the down going prop (p factor)
on a counter rotating twin prop which is the critical engine
Neither
Vmca is
Minimum control speed when 1 engine has failed
Max force on rudder to achieve control
150 lb without reducing thrust on engines
Minimum control speeds are measured in
CAS
Vmcl is
Minimum control speed for landing and approach
