Q

What is the “Ground Effect”?

A

Wing tip vortices hit the ground at low altitude and create a cushion in between the wing terrain. This may cause the air craft to “float” very close to the ground.

Q

parasite drag

A

caused by friction between the air and the aircraft surface, aerials, landing gear, etc.

17
Q

induced drag

A

an inevitable consequence of lift and is produced by the passage of an aerofoil (e.g. wing or tailplane) through the air.

18
Q

Longitudinal Stability

A

is the stability around the Lateral Axis .
Depends On : -position of CG
-position of CL

19
Q

Lateral Stability

A

Is the ability around the Longitudinal Axis. Also Defined as the ability of the aircraft to return to the level wing flight if one of the wings Drop.

20
Q

Directional Stability

A

Is the stability around the vertical Axis. Also is one the easiest to obtain.

21
Q

Load factor

A

The amount of Stress applied to an aircraft when it Deflects its flight path from a straight Line. INCREASED LOAD FACOTR WILL RESULT IN A HIGHER STALL SPEED.

22
Q

VA ?
VS ?
VSO?

A

VA = maneuvering speed
VS = Stall speed with NO flaps
VSO = Stall speed with flaps

23
Q

Change OF angle OF Incidence

A

TO compensate for different speeds of rotation the propeller is twisted so thats its angle of attack is highest near the Centre and its forward tips

24
Q

The amount of excess load that can be imposed on the wing of an airplane depends upon the?

A

Speed of the airplane.

25
Q

Which V-speed represents maximum flap extended speed?

A

VFE

26
Q

What causes an airplane (except a T-tail) to pitch nosedown when power is reduced and controls are not adjusted?

A

The downwash on the elevators from the propeller slipstream is reduced and elevator effectiveness is reduced.

27
Q

One of the main functions of flaps during approach and landing is to

A

Increase the angle of descent without increasing the airspeed.

28
Q

The left turning tendency of an airplane caused by P-factor is the result of the?

A

Propeller blade descending on the right, producing more thrust than the ascending blade on the left.

29
Q

POWER OF STALL

A
  1. Power to Idle
  2. Stimulate to decent
  3. Wings level, Right Rudder===> Pitch Smoothly To Stall.
30
Q

SLOW FLIGHT

A
  1. Carburettor Heat on
  2. Power to 1700 RPM

3.Hold to Pitch

31
Q

ENGINE QUITS

A

A. Air Speed to 60
B. Best Place To land
C. Check List (try to start engine)
D. Declare
E. Execute
