Maneuvres

Question 1

Centripetal force required to turn a helicopter is provided by (power, total rotor thrust) provided it is ——- in the direction of the turn.

Answer 1

Tilted

Question 2

During a standard rate turn the nose passes the horizontal at ( 3, 6) degrees per (second, minute)

Answer 2

3
Second

Question 3

If a helicopter maintains a certain radius but flies faster, the rate of turn will (increase, decrease) and the angle of bank required must be (shallower, steeper)

Answer 3

Increase
Steeper

Question 4

The angle of bank required to carry out a standard rate turn at an airspeed of 50 kts is —— degrees.

Answer 4

60 , take away the zero and add 7 = 13 degrees.

Question 5

When two identical helicopters at a similar gross weight but different airspeed carry out a turn at the same rate of turn, the slower helicopter must bank (more, less) and the slower helicopter travels on the ( same, a larger, a smaller) radius.

Answer 5

Less
Smaller

Question 6

When two identical helicopters at similar gross weight but different speed carry pout a turn on the same radius, the faster helicopter must bank ( steeper, shallower, the same) and the faster helicopter will have a ( greater, smaller, similar) rate of turn

Answer 6

Steeper
Greater

Question 7

The load factor in a level turn is directly proportional to (weight, total rotor thrust) and(increases, decreases) with an increased in angle of bank.

Answer 7

Total rotor thrust
Increases

Question 8

When turning level at an angle of bank of 60 degrees the load factor is ——- times ( greater, smaller) than ( total rotor thrust, weight)

Answer 8

2
Greater
Weight

Question 9

The steeper the angle of bank in a level turn the ( greater, less than) the requirement for —— to overcome increased (profile, induced) drag.

Answer 9

Greater
Power
Induced

Question 10

Assuming a constant airspeed, when in a climbing turn, the rate of climb will be ——- than when in a straight climb and the angle of climb will be (steeper, shallower)

Answer 10

Less
Shallower

Question 11

Two helicopters are identical but one carries more weight than the other and both fly at the same airspeed. When turning on the same radius, the heavier helicopter must bank (more, less, the same) as the light one and its rate of turn will be (greater, the same, less)

Answer 11

The same
The same

Question 12

To turn your helicopter at a constant radius around a ground feature in a wind, the angle of bank must be steepest when the wind is on the (nose, tail, left, right) of the aircraft and shallowest when the wind is on the (nose, tail, left, right)

Answer 12

Tail
Nose
