What does the takeoff distance equation demonstrate

Weight is the greatest factor in takeoff distance

Maximum range is defined as the

maximum distance an aircraft can fly on a given amount of fuel

Critical Mach Number is defined as the

mach number that produces the first evidence of local supersonic flow

Flying ___ will give you the most distance for the airplanes altitude if the engine fails

best glide speed

a headwind will ____ maximum glide range

decrease

Landing roll is decreased by

a headwind

P-factor is caused by

one propeller blade creating more thrust than its opposing blade

If the propeller rotates clockwise

torque is the opposite or counterclockwise

Turn rate and radius are based on what factors

Velocity and bank angle

In a skid, the balance ball of the turn and bank indicator

is deflected in the opposite direction of the turn

Thrust must increase ina turn due to the increase in

drag

Load factor is the ratio of the ___ divided by ___

load; weight

Limit load factor is defined as

the greatest load factor an airplane can sustain without risk of permanent deformation or damage

Asymmetric G-limits are lower than symmetric because

the lift on the up-going wing is experiencing more Gs than what is read on the accelerometer

The G-force required to maintain a 60 degree bank level turn is

+2.0

Positive static stability is the

initial tendency of an object to return to its original equilibrium

Neutral dynamic stability is

where oscillations increase in amplitude over time

An airplane exhibits ___ if after a disturbance that rolls the airplane, it generates forces that reduce the bank angle and return it to wings-level

lateral stability

Cross-coupling causes

spiral and directional divergence

A PIO in the pitch axis is the result of the

pilot and the inherent longitudinal stability of the airplane simultaneously trying to correct for the same oscillations

Takeoff distance is

increased by a tailwind

Max range is defined as

farthest distance an airplane can travel on a given amount of fuel

Max endurance is

the maximum time that an airplane can remain airborne on a given amount of fuel

Max glide range (flown at best glide speed) is

obtained by flying at L/D max airspeed

Gaining the most altitude in a given amount of time is

max rate of climb

Slipstream swirl is most noticeable

at high power settings and low airspeed

Ultimate load factor for the T-6A is defined as

the maximum load factor that the airplane can withstand without structural failure

Turn radius is

a factor of velocity and bank angle

Critical Mach is defined as the

Mach number that produces the first evidence of local supersonic flow

Sideslip angle is

the difference between the flightpath and the longitudinal axis

When flying at maximum endurance airspeed in the T-6A, increasing AOA to maintain level flight will result in

slower airspeed; requiring more power
