Congested: 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 2,000 feet

⁃ Non-Congested: 500 feet over surface, and 500 feet away from person, vessel, vehicle, and structure

What is the correct departure procedure at a non-towered airport?!!

FAA departure procedure for that airport

Rapid acceleration can create what illusion?

nose up attitude (elevator)

The illusion that the aircraft is at a higher altitude than it actually is, is giving what illusion?

Up-sloping runway, terrain

whats AOA and angle of incidence

The angle of attack is the acute angle between the chord line of the wing and the direction of the relative wind.

The acute angle between the chord line of the wing and the longitudinal axis of the aircraft is the angle of incidence.

The resistance or skin friction of the viscosity of the air has is passed over the wing is called what?

Profile Drag

The force which imparts a change in the velocity of a mass is called

Thrust

The rate of climb depends on what?

Excess power

During a steady climb the angle of climb depends on what?

Excess thrust

The three axis intersection is called what?

The Center of Gravity

Which statement relates to Bernoullis principle

Air traveling faster over the curved upper surface of an airfoil causes lower pressure on the top surface

An aircraft’s wing is designed to produce lift from what?

Positive air pressure below the wings surface and negative air pressure above the wings surface

Adverse yaw during a turn entry is caused by what?

Decreased induced drag on the lowered wing and increased induced drag on the raised wing

What are the types of stability for an aircraft?!!

An aircraft has positive static stability if there is an initial tendency for it to return to its original state of equilibrium after being disturbed.

⁃ Neutral static stability is the initial tendency for an aircraft to remain in a new condition after its equilibrium has been disturbed

⁃ Negative static stability is an inherent quality of an aircraft that causes it to deviate further from a condition of steady flight once it is disturbed from such a condition

Stability???!!

Stability is the inherent quality of an aircraft to correct for conditions that may disturb its equilibrium, and to return to or continue on the original flight path.

What happens when you have negative, dynamic, and positive stability will cause your plane to do what?

Divergent Oscillation

What’s the purpose of a dihedral on an aircraft’s wing?

Increase lateral stability

Figure 19.) angle of attack vs lift

L/D(max): Any angle of attack other than that for L/D(max) increases total drag for a given airplanes lift

Figure 19.) Lift drag

16.5° the angle of attack

Figure 19.) Which angle of attack allows the aircraft to travel the most distance per foot?

6°.

Figure 17.)

C to E: positive limit load factor
