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
