Memory Terms Flashcards
Turns Around a Point
To teach the student how to keep a constant radius around a point while correcting for wind using inside and outside references
S-turns
To teach a student how to fly a series of S-turns across a linear ground feature , with semi-circles of equal size and shape, accounting for wind effects while maintaining constant altitude and airspeed
Rectangular course
To teach the student how to fly a ground track equidistant from all sides of a rectangular area on the ground, accounting for wind effects while maintaining constant altitude and airspeed while using inside and outside references
Steep turns
To teach the student how to fly in a steel bank, maximum performance turn while using inside and outside references
Slow flight
To teach the student positive aircraft control at the speed in which any increase in angle of attack, increase in load factor or reduction in power would result in a stall warning or aerodynamic buffet
Power off stall
To teach the student how to recognize and recover from a stall in the landing configuration
Power on stall
To teach the student how to recognize and recover from a stall in the takeoff or departure configuration
Accelerated stall demonstration
To demonstrate to the student that the aircraft will stall at a higher airspeed under increased load factor
Vmc Demo
To teach the student how to recognize and recover from a loss of directional control
Drag demo
To demonstrate to the student the effects on aircraft performance under various configurations
Vmc
Is the calibrates airspeed at which directional control can be maintained with the critical engine inoperative
Critical engine
Is the engine that, when it fails, has the most adverse effect on directional control of the airplane
“Middle name”
(Idk why the sheet says this- I need to figure out what actually goes here. Maybe “during demo”?
I know I have lost directional control when I have full rudder deflection into the operating engine and the aircraft begins to yaw toward the inoperative engine. To recover I will simultaneously reduce the power on the operating engine (as needed) and reduce the angle of attack to regain directional control and then will smoothly re-apply full power on the operating engine
Maneuvering speed
Is the maximum airspeed at which full, abrupt control inputs can be made without structural damage to the aircraft.
At airspeeds below maneuvering speed, the aircraft will stall before exceeding the design limit load factor.
At airspeeds above maneuvering speed, the design limit load factor will be exceeded before the aircraft stalls.
Stabilized approach
Is an approach in which the pilot establishes and maintains a constant angle glide path towards a predetermined point on the landing runway. It is based on the pilot’s judgement on certain visual cues, and depends on a constant final descent airspeed configuration.
