Level Flight, Climbing, Descending And Turning - Ch 3 Flashcards
1
Q
Climbing
A
Lift = w cos theta LF < 1
Sin Gamma = T - D / W
2
Q
Descending
A
D = T + W sin Gamma
Sin Gamma = D - T / W
In an emergency; idle, steep AOA, speedbrakes
3
Q
Turning
A
LF = 1/Cos Thi
Radius = TAS^2/gTan Thi
RoT = TAS/Radius x 60
Rate 1 = TAS/10 + 7
4
Q
Height
A
Vertical distance above ground
5
Q
Pressure Altitude
A
Vertical distance above 1013.25 pressure surface
6
Q
Density Altitude
A
Pressure altitude corrected for non-standard Temps
Determines engine performance
Corrected by entering pressure alt + temp/ISA Dev
