Chapter 30 - Limitation Flashcards
How do we get ultimate load
Load limit x safety factor
Safety factor for normal aviation is
1.5
Load limit does not account for mass so always use
heaviest
Give Load factor for C25 in +VE and -VE
+VE 2.5
-VE -1.0
Give Load factor for C23 (utility) +VE
4.4
Give Load factor for C23 in +VE and -VE
+VE 6.0
-VE -3.0
Va is
Highest speed you can give full elevator up deflection and not bend the ac
If you are below Va / slower speeds what will happen before the a/c bends
stall
Vb is
Design speed for Gusts / turbulence
Vra
Used as recommended turbulence airspeed
which is fast enough to avoid stalling + slow enough to avoid structural damage
Vc is
design cruise speed
no less than Vb x 1.32
no more than 80% of Vd
Vmo
Max operating Velocity
Mmo
Max Mach operating number
Vne
never exceed
Vle
max land gear extended
Vlo
Max landing gear operating speed
Vfe
Max flap extension speed
Gust loads are
the extra load factor caused sudden gust of vertical or horizontal winds
For gust loads think of the bad things about a?
glider apart from slow speeds
