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
LiftWeight
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
To maintain a constant radius about a point on the ground. (Assume there is wind)
AoB must not change
AoB will have to vary throughout the turn
IAS will have to vary throughout the turn
TAS will have to vary throughout the turn
A rate 1 turn is:
3° per/min
180° per/second
360° per/minutes
3° per/second
An aircraft in a climbing turn will:
(select all that apply)
Over bank due to the inner wing having a greater AoA
Have a reduced rate of climb
Under bank due to the inner wing having a greater AoA
Over bank due to the out wing having a greater AoA
For a given AoB an aircraft in a descending turn will:
(Select all the apply)
Have a decreased rate of descent
Have an increased rate of descent
Over bank because the outer wing is traveling faster
Under back because the inner wing has a higher AoA
To perform a perfectly circular loop a constant acceleration must be provided toward the centre of the loop:
True
False
To provide a constant '2g' acceleration throughout the loop how much acceleration must be provided at the top of the loop by the wings. (Assume weight = 1)
1g
2g
3g
4g
Define Va
Designed maneuvering speed. If exceeded structural damage could occur
Designed maneuvering speed. If exceeded structural damage will rarely occur
Designed maneuvering speed. Best speed for turbulent conditions
Designed maneuvering speed. Stall speed at full flap
What does the line labeled 'A' represent?
Vn

Vne
What is does the red area represent?
Flight conditions that may lead to a stall
Vne
Va
Flight conditions that may cause structural damage
Vne is the __________ and is represented by __
