Chapter 2.7 - Exam Review Flashcards
A medium turn is made at a bank angle of (30°/45°)?
30°.
In a level turn, Lift is (greater than/less than) Weight?
Greater than.
In a level turn, Airspeed is kept constant with the (Elevators/Throttle)?
Throttle.
In a balanced turn, the ball in the Turn Coordinator is (out to the right/centred/out to the left?
Centred.
In steep climbing turns, (more/less) power is required?
More.
True or False. One very good reason why steep turns should be avoided close to the ground is that the higher Stall IAS in steep turns produces an increased risk of a Stall with insufficient height for recovery?
True.
One reason for avoiding steep turns on a glide approach is that without power, there is no way to control the increased (Airspeed/rate of descent)?
Rate of descent.
One reason for not making steep turns shortly after takeoff is that the (rate of climb/Stall speed) decreases in a climbing turn?
Rate of climb.
When flying (downwind/upwind) close to the ground, the groundspeed is increased?
Downwind.
When an Aircraft turns downwind from upwind close to the ground, the change in groundspeed appears as a change in Airspeed. Briefly explain why this illusion can be dangerous when turning downwind?
Groundspeed is highest when turning downwind, a Pilot may be deceived into allowing the Airspeed to reduce to the Stall speed.
Near the ground, when turning crosswind from downwind, what is the cause of the Aircraft appearing to slip or skid even though it may be perfectly balanced in the turn?
The presence of Drift.
Why should the use of Rudder to correct the apparent slip and skid be avoided, when turning up from downwind to crosswind?
The slip and skid are only illusions. Using large Rudder corrections may cause a Spin.
In a right skidding turn, the ball moves out to the (left/right)?
Left.
In a right slipping turn, the ball moves out to the (left/right)?
Right.
What is the ratio between the actual Weight of an Aircraft and the ‘apparent Weight’ called?
The load factor.
