PoF New

Question 1

CLmax =

Answer 1

1/Vs sq

Question 2

Load factor =

Answer 2

Lift/weight

Question 3

Wing loading =

Answer 3

Weight/wing area

Question 4

Cdi =

Answer 4

(Cl^2/AR)K

Wing platform/aspect ratio

Question 5

Lift in a balanced climb/descent =

Answer 5

Weight x Cos gamma (gamma = climb/descent angle)

Question 6

Load factor in a climb/descent =

Answer 6

cos gamma (climb/descent angle)

Question 7

Climb angle (assuming lift = weight) sin gamma=

Answer 7

T-D/W

Or

T/W - Cl/Cd

Question 8

Turning

Load factor in a turn =

Answer 8

1/cos bank angle

Question 9

Radius of turn (m)=

Answer 9

TAS^2/g X bank angle (knots x 0.514 = m/s)

Question 10

Rate of turn =

Answer 10

TAS/turn radius

Or

G x tan bank angle / TAS

Question 11

Stalling

New Vs when masses known =

Answer 11

New Vs = old Vs x sqrt new mass/old mass

Question 12

Stalling

New Vs when LF known =

Answer 12

Old Vs x sqrt load factor

Question 13

LF for given G with a speed change =

Answer 13

((Max g-1) x (new speed/old speed))+ 1

If new speed less than 1.3vs likely to stall first so call for new stall speed:
new stall speed = old x sqrt LF
LF = Vs^2

Question 14

Aspect ratio =

Answer 14

Span/mean chord

Span^2/area

Question 15

Pressure =

Answer 15

Density x temp

Question 16

Limiting load factors

Answer 16

Jet 2.5
Light ac 3.8
Utility 4.4
Aero 6

Question 17

Stick force gradient =

Answer 17

1 lb per 6 knots

Question 18

Stick force per G

Answer 18

3lbs/g one hand

4 two hand

Question 19

LSS

Answer 19

38.94 x sqrt T

C + 273 = K
