|
|
In a constant airspeed and power climb, how will your attitude in a climbing turn compare to a wings-level climb?
|
It will be lower because the turn results in a loss of lift and a resultant decrease in climb rate.

|
Lead level - off altitude by 10% of the vertical velocity
|
|
|
When accelerating how wil the aircraft tend to react?
|
It will seek the trimmed airspeed by climbing. If power is added, right rudder and trim will also be needed to compensate for propeller effects. The Trim Aid Device will also provide some assistance.
