Q

Where is ground effect greatest

A

Wing tip

20
Q

What will flaps do to CL MAX and AOA

A

CL MAX: increase
AOA: reduce

21
Q

What will leading edge devices do to AOA and CL MAX

A

Increase both

22
Q

What is the relationship between temp and LSS

A

Proportional

23
Q

Above the tropopause what happens to TAS

A

Remains constant

24
Q

What happens when an aircraft accelerates into the transonic speed

A

AOA decrease due to compressability

25
Q

What happens in a climb above the tropopause

A

IAS decrease

26
Q

What happens in a descent below the tropopause

A

TAS constant

27
Q

What does LSS equation

A

38.95 x square root temp kelvin

28
Q

To avoid exceeding MMO you must:

A

Stop flying IAS and fly mach

29
Q

To avoid exceeding VMO you must:

A

Stop flying Mach and use IAS

30
Q

Climb below tropopause what happens to CL

A

Increase

31
Q

What does VB VC VD equal

A

VB= 66ft/sec
VC= 50ft/sec
VD= 25ft/sec

32
Q

How to calculate load factor

A

Change in Cl x change in AOA= y
Y+old Cl= new Cl
New Cl/old Cl= n

33
Q

What is Pitch angle

A

Longitudinal and horizon

34
Q

What is bank angle

A

Lateral and horizontal

35
Q

What is path angle

A

Speed vector and horizon

36
Q

Where is AOA

A

Speed vector and longitudinal

37
Q

What tendency will a cambered aerofoil have

A

Pitch down

38
Q

When you have a trimmed aircraft with a forward CG, what will the controls feel like

A

Normal

39
Q

What is stick force per g proportional to?

A

Altitude

40
Q

What does a higher mass do to Mcrit

A

Lower Mcrit because of a greater AOA to maintain level flight

41
Q

What does perpendicular link to

A

Cosine

42
Q

If flying at a normal speed and you feel rumbling in the rudder what does it mean

A

Slack control links

43
Q

What is load factor not affected by

A

Weight

44
