What angle of bank is used during a climbing turn?
20º of bank is used during a climbing turn.
What should you do when entering a climbing/descending turn to maintain correct speed?
When entering a climbing/descending turn you need to pitch slightly down initially to maintain correct speed.
In a climbing turn to the left almost no rudder is needed to fly coordinated, why?
In a climb we have the slipstream effect that is causing a yaw to the left, when turning to the left the adverse yaw causes a yaw to the right. Since the forces counteract each other no rudder is needed. (Some times even a little rudder to the right is needed).
Explain how to enter a climbing turn.
How to enter a climbing turn:
- CHECK TRAFFIC
- Pitch down
- Ailerons (20´)
- Rudder
- Backpressure
- Opposite rudder
- Ease the rudder
Explain how exit a climbing turn
How to exit a climbing turn:
- CHECK TRAFFIC
- Ailerons
- Top rudder
- Release backpressure
- Pitch up (to maintain speed)
What angle of bank is used during a turn in power off descent?
In a power off descent we turn with 30º of bank.
Explain how to enter a descending turn.
How to enter a descending turn:
- CHECK TRAFFIC
- Pitch down
- Ailerons
- Rudder
- Backpressure
- Ailerons opposite the turn
- Ease the rudder
Explain how to exit a descending turn.
How to exit a descending turn:
- CHECK TRAFFIC
- Ailerons
- Top rudder
- Release backpressure
- Pitch up
explain why a lot of rudder is needed when turning in power off descent.
A lot off rudder is needed when turning in power off descent because of the low airspeed. In lower speeds all the aircraft control surfaces becomes more inefficient and larger control inputs are needed.
Why do we pitch slightly down when entering a climbing/descending turn?
We need to pitch slightly down when entering a climbing/descendnig turn to maintain correct speed. The turn is causing more drag and if we dont counteract this by lowering the nose our speed will decrease.
