Turning Flashcards
A medium level turn will have a bank angle of -
30° or less
State all the turn types which are tested and practised:
- Medium Level turn(30° or less)
- Climbing turn
- Descending turn
- Rate 1 turn(a rate of turn to achieve 360° in 2 minutes)
- Steep turns(45° or more)
Total lift² =
Vertical Component of lift² + Horizontal Component of lift²
Vertical component of lift during a turn will be -
Thus, horizontal component of lift need to be -
This is achieved by increasing the -
reduced
increased
angle of attack
Vs increases with -
Because -
The formula is -
increasing bank angle
load factor increases
New stall speed = Old stall speed x square root of the load factor
The first three lines on the AH will be in increments of -
10°
Wings to the right, ball to left. Skidding or slipping turn?
Skidding turn
Wings to the right ball to the right. Skidding or slipping turn?
Slipping turn
if in a rate one turn, heading will change how many degrees per second?
360 / 120s = 3°/s
To find the required bank angle to conduct a rate one turn given airspeed:
airspeed / 10 + 7
What to do before commencing a turn?
- First trim the aircraft
2. Lookout for traffic
During a turn:
If gaining height, either the -
Actions to be taken?
bank angle is too shallow or the angle of attack is too great
Reduce angle of attack or increase bank angle
During a turn:
If losing height, either the -
Actions to be taken?
bank angle is too steep or the angle of attack is too small
increase angle of attack or decrease bank angle
The steeper the bank angle during a climbing turn, the poorer the -
rate of climb
To retain a reasonable ROC during climbing turns, the bank angle should be restricted to -
15° - 20°
