|
Define Lift
|
Higher velocity and lower pressure on top of air foil while there is low velocity and higher pressure under the air foil |
|
|
Define weight
|
created by the downward pull of gravity |
|
|
Define thrust
|
power produced by the power plant (engine) to overcome drag and propel the aircraft through the air |
|
|
Angle of attack
|
The angular difference between the chord line and the relative head wind |
|
|
what is a stall
|
when the plane exceeds the angle of attack |
|
|
What is a spin |
Spin is a low velocity and high angle of attack maneuver One wing is stalled more than the other |
|
|
adverse yaw |
The higher wing creates more lift and drag hence making the plane want to move to the outside of the turn
|
|
|
P-factor
|
Created by the downward propeller slicing through the air creating more thrust on the right side of the airplane |
|
|
Two types of drag
|
induced (created by production of lift) and parasitic |
|
|
List the different types of parasitic drag
|
form (caused by airflow around the structure), skin (roughness of the aircraft surfaces, rivets, bugs, dirt, etc) and interference (adding extra things onto the aircraft where the currents will mix together) |
|
|
what type of flaps does the DA20 have?
|
slotted |
|
|
Stability |
Aft CG - tend to flat spins |
|
|
Load factor as it relates to stall speed
|
Greater LF will cause plane to stall at higher speeds |
|
|
What are the 4 turning tendencies
|
torque, p-factor, gyroscopic procession and spiral slipstream |
|
|
Three C's for lost procedures
|
Climb, conserve and confess |
|
|
What is wind shear
|
Bad during a landing situation because it could cause you to stall |
|
|
