POF Q26 - Turning Flashcards
An aircraft in steady horizontal flight enters a turn. What can we say about the Load factor on the aircraft?
a.Only when inverted the Load Factor will be equal to 1
b.The Load Factor will be greater than 1
c.The Load Factor will be less than 1
d.The Load Factor will be equal to 1
b.The Load Factor will be greater than 1
Consider an object traveling at constant speed around an arc. If the centripetal force acting on it decreases the radius increases.
Select one:
True
False
True
When an aircraft is banked the forces are no longer equal. In order to maintain level flight at constant speed what actions must the pilot take?
a.Increase power
b.Increase speed to overcome the deficiency in Lift
c.Pull back on the control column
d.Pull back on the control column and increase power
d.Pull back on the control column and increase power
Which of the following statement is true considering an aircraft in a coordinated level turn?
a.The Weight force is completely vertical
b.The Lift force which is equal and opposite to weight acts perpendicularly to the aircrafts longitudinal axis.
c.The Load Factor will be equal to 1
d.The Thrust force is inclined to act at 90º to the aircrafts longitudinal axis
a.The Weight force is completely vertical
You are following an approach plate into an airport from the South to land on runway 09. To the North of the airfield is a mountainous area and a marshland to the East. The approach plate specifies a maximum speed of 160kts, however, the crew actually flew the approach at 200kts. What is the main threat to the aircraft having not flown the published speed?
a.Depending on the weather this is ok. It is approved to fly faster on an approach in bad weather.
b.The approach speed is too fast which could result in a runway excursion
c.The turn radius of the aircraft has increased which could lead to unsafe separation from terrain.
d.If the aircraft is lighter than expected this should have no affect.
c.The turn radius of the aircraft has increased which could lead to unsafe separation from terrain.
A rate 1 turn is a turn which is
a.6º per second
b.90º per minute
c.360º per minute
d.3º per second
d.3º per second
For some procedures, there is a reliance on the rate of turn of an aircraft. The most common rate of turn used is a [ ] . Rate of turn is measured in degrees of heading change per second and it is called [ ] velocity.
[rate 1 turn] [angular]
An aircraft is flying at FL360 at an IAS of 270kts at 20ºAoB with a radius of 16km. Imagine the aircraft is now flying at sea level with the same IAS and AoB, what is true about the radius of the turn?
a.The radius of the turn will reduce by a significant amount
b.As the speed the of the aircraft is remaining constant, the radius will remain constant.
c.The radius of the turn will increase by a significant amount
d.Altitude has no effect on the radius of the turn. Only the Angle of Bank used will affect this.
a.The radius of the turn will reduce by a significant amount
An aircraft is in an uncoordinated turn to the left and is skidding. Which of the below statements is correct?
a.The aircraft has too little bank and right rudder needs to be applied
b.The aircraft has too much bank and right rudder need to be applied
c.The aircraft has too little bank and left rudder needs to be applied.
d.The aircraft has too little bank and left rudder needs to be applied
a.The aircraft has too little bank and right rudder needs to be applied
