Turns in level flight
What angle of bank is used in level flight turns VFR?
In normal turns, level flight, VFR we use a 30º bank angle.
Explain how you enter a turn in level flight.
Enter a turn in level flight:
- CHECK FOR TRAFFIC
- Ailerons
- Rudder
- Backpressure
- Opposite ailerons
- Ease the rudder
What is the first thing that you need to do when entering a turn?
The first thing that you need to do when entering a turn is to check for traffic!
The term “skid” means that you have too ___ rudder compared to the ____.
The term “skid” means that you have too much rudder compared to the bank.
Explain adverse yaw.
Adverse yaw is phenomena that creates a yawing motion opposite the turn. The down going aileron creates more lift which also means more induced drag. This drag created on of the wings acts as a brake causing the yaw. This is why we need to use rudder in a turn.
Why do we need to apply back pressure on the yoke in a turn?
Some of the lift is used to turn the aircraft, to compensate for the vertical lift vector we need higher total lift.
Explain how you exit a turn in level flight.
Exit a turn in level flight.
- CHECK FOR TRAFFIC
- Ailerons towards level flight
- Top rudder
- Release backpressure
- Centre the controls
When established in a level flight turn to the right what is your control inputs?
In a right turn the control input would be:
Back pressure on the yoke, right rudder and some ailerons to the left keeping the aircraft at 30º of bank.
Due to a phenomena called ___ we need to use rudder in the ___ direction as the turn.
Due to a phenomena called adverse yaw we need to use rudder in the same direction as the turn.
The term “slip” means that you have too ___ rudder compared to the ____
The term “slip” means that you have too little rudder compared to the bank.
