POF - Turning

The turning force acting on the aircraft is called:

• Centrifugal Force

• Centripetal Drag

• Centrifugal Drag

• Centripetal Force

How does a pilot create the turning force

• Increase speed

• Ease back on the elevator

• Incline the lift vector

• Decline the lift vector

Load factor is:

• An increase in weight

• An increase in apparent speed

• An increase in apparent weight

• A decrease in apparent weight

Load factor is equal to:

• Lift x weight

• Weight/Lift

• Lift/Weight²

• Lift/Weight

Load factor:

• Increases with an increase in AoB²

• Increases linearly with an increase in AoB

• Increases with an increase in AoB

• Decreases with an increase in AoB

Load factor in a turn can be found using:

• 1/Cos AoB²

• 1/Cos AoB

• 1/Sin AoB²

• 1/Sin AoB

Stall speed in a turn increases by the:

• Load factor²

• √Load factor

• √g²

• √weight/lift

Select all the factors that effect radius and rate of turn:

• AoB

• Airspeed

• Weight

• Power setting

To make a maximum rate/minimum radius turn the aircraft should be flown at:

• AoA for CLmax and at VS1

• AoA for CLmax and at normal cruis speed

• AoA for CLmin and VS1

• AoA for CLmax and at Va

If an aircraft performs a constant AoB turn with a 30 knot northerly the radius will remain constant about a certain point on the ground.

• True

• False
