Turning Flashcards
Force required to sustain a turn
Centripetal force
CPF Equation
MV2/r
Radius formula
R=v2/gTanø
Which means if speed doubles, radius increases by 4
Angle of bank depends on
Speed of turn and turn radius
Effect of mass in radius
No effect
Steps to find time taken to complete a turn
Find radius using radius formula
Find circumference us 2piR
Now use distance/speed
To get the time
2000kts in m/s
1000 squared m/s
Rate of turn formula
TAS/Radius x 60 = degrees/s
If speed increases what happens to rate of turn
Decreases
If speed is doubled, ROT is reduced by a half
Rate 1 turn
3*/s
Angle of bank formula
TAs/10 + 7degrees
Climbing turn
A/c tends to overbank
Descending turn
A/c tends to underbank
Load factor in a turn
Greater than 1
My must AoA be increased in a turn
To compensate for the reduction in the vertical component of lift
