What are the legs of a traffic pattern?

  1. departure leg

  2. Crosswind leg

  3. Downwind leg

  4. Base leg

  5. Final leg

2

what is the equation for pressure altitude?

PA = (29.92 - CA)1000 + FE

New cards
3

How do you fing CA(current altimiter)?

It is accessed through the atis

New cards
4

What is the Pressure Altitude used for?

PA is used for finding Density altitude

New cards
5

What is Standard Lapse Rate?

-2 degrees per 1000 ft

New cards
6

Vr

60(rotation speed)

New cards
7

Vy

76(best rate of climb)

New cards
8

Vx

64(best angle of climb)

New cards
9

Va

89-113(maneuvering speed)

New cards
10

Vs

55(clean stall)

New cards
11

Vso

49(dirty stall)

New cards
12

Vfe

102(max speed with flaps extended)

New cards
13

Vno

125(normal operating speed)

New cards
14

Vne

154(never exceed speed)

New cards
15

Vcross

17(max crosswind)

New cards
16

76(best glide speed)

New cards
17

what are the four fundemntal forces of flight

Lift, weight, drag, thrust

New cards
18

what is the contesting force to weight?

Lift

New cards
19

what is the contesting force for drag?

Thrust

New cards
20

what is angle of attack

the chord line in relation to the relative wind

New cards
21

What is Dihedral

The angle of the wings

New cards
22

What is the purpose of dihedral

To improve stability

New cards
23

What are the two ways the plane can produce lift?

  1. Bernoulli’s principle

  2. newtons 3rd Law

New cards
24

What is bernoulli’s principle?

Because of the airfoil shape, there is less pressure on the top of the wing than on the bottom therefore, the plane goes up(lift).

New cards
25

How does Newtons 3rd law allow for flight?

Because the air molecules are being pushed down, the wing must be pushed up.

New cards
26

what are the two types of drag

Parasitic and induced

New cards
27

What is induced drag

drag that is crated by the production of lift and disruption of air; causes wingtip vortices

New cards
28

What is parasitic Drag

drag created by the product of airflow over the plane

New cards
29

Where does best glide slope come from

LD Max/least amount of total drag

New cards
30

Which drag increases as speed increases

Parasitic

New cards
31

Which drag increases as speed decreases

induced

New cards
32

What is ground effect

When the wingtip vertices are intercepted by the the ground

New cards
33

What is wake turbulence

rough air that is created by wingtip vertices

New cards
34

What are ways to avoid wake turbulence

Fly over the Wingtip vertices using Vx

New cards
35

what are the three left turning tendencies

P-Factor, Torque Effect, and Spiraling Slipstream.

New cards
36

What is tourque effect?

because of the props spinning direction, the plane wants to yaw left

New cards
37

What is spiraling slipstream

When the air created from the prop twists around and hits the rudder causing the plane to want to yaw left

New cards
38

What is P factor

based on the AoA, some parts of the prop will grab more air than others, causing the plane to want to yaw left

New cards
39

how do you counteract the left turning tendencies

RIGHT RUDDER

New cards
40

where is the field elevation on a airport diagram

below the name

New cards
41

What is the equation for density altitude?

120(OAT-ISA) + PA

New cards
42

What is density altitude used for

It is used to see how the aircraft will preform

New cards
43

What is N6919J’s empty weight

1500 lbs

New cards
44

What is N6919J’s CG/arm

86.25

New cards
45

What is N6919J’s moment?

129377.7
