Theory Of flight

Question 1

In addition to providing thrust, propellers create a few side effects that the pilot needs to be aware of including the following four:

Answer 1

Torque
Slipstream
Gyroscopic precession
Asymmetric thrust or P-factor

Question 2

How do flaps work?

Answer 2

Increase lift and drag by increasing the camber of the wing (and in some planes: increase wing area).

Question 3

What 3 benefits are there to flying with flaps?

Answer 3

Steeper approach angle without increasing air speed

Reduce the stall speed

Increase in forward visibility
