Turning Flashcards
Whats the horizontal component between lift and vertical component of lift?
Centripetal force
What the angle between lift and the vertical component of lift?
Phi
How do you calculate the vertical component of lift in a turn?
Lift x cos PHI
How do you calculate centripetal force in a turn?
Lift x sin PHI
How do you calculate weight in a turn?
Lift x cos PHI
How do you calculate n using phi?
n = 1/cosPHI
How do you calculate the radius of of a turn?
Radius = v^2 / g tan PHI
The degrees per second = what?
Rate of turn.
Rate 1 turn = blank degrees per second
3 degrees per second
Angle of bank for a rate 1 turn =
TAS/10. + 7
Rate of turn is proportional to blank.
1/ radius
On a climbing turn the outer/inner wing stalls first.
Outer.
On a decending turn the outer/inner wing stalls first.
Inner
In a co-ordinated horizontal turn, the magnitude of the centripetal force at 45 degrees of bank: is equal to the blank of the aircraft
Weight
In a steady co-ordinated horizontal turn, lift is greater than in straight and level flight, because it must balance the blank and generate the blank
Weight - centripetal force
During a straight steady vertical descent (dive): drag is equal to the sum of blank and blank
Thrust and weight
Two identical aeroplanes A and B, with the same mass, are flying steady level coordinated 20 degree bank turns. If the TAS of A is 130 kt and the TAS of B is 200 kt: the blank of A and B is the same
Load factor
In a turn the blank axis forms a tangent to the curve path.
Longitudinal
In a skid turn there is too much blank and not enough blank.
Rudder - bank
In a slip, you have used to much blank or too little blank.
Bank - rudder.
How do you create a strong slip?
Opposite bank and rudder.
Using a turn indicator, what occurs in a skid?
Needle and ball opposite.
Using a turn indicator, what occurs in a slip?
Needle + ball in the same direction.
How do you fix a skid?
More bank or less rudder
