Private Pilot Checkride

Adverse Yaw

Tendency to have plane yaw opposite a roll

Torque

Equal and Opposite reaction for every reaction

Gyroscopic Procession

applied force manifests 90 degrees later in direction of rotational movement

Spiraling Slipstream

Left turning tendency in props due to clockwise propellor spin, pushes corkscrew shaped airflow in spiral around fuselage

P-factor

Causes propeller driven aircraft to yaw to one side in high angle of attacks

Hypoxic

Not enough oxygen in lungs (Generally occurs at high altitude)

Hypemic

Normal oxygen pressure, lack of red blood cells to carry blood (anemia and CO poisioning)

Stagnant

Blood cannot move fast enough to deliver O2

Histotoxic

O2 reaches cells normally, but cells are poisoned and can’t use it (cyanide)

Radiation Fog

moist air ends up over cool ground

Advection Fog

moist air moves over cooler ground or water (common on coasts)

Steam Fog

Forms when cold and dry air moves over warm water (Cold weather over water)

Upslope fog

Moist stable air moves up along terrain and cools

Freezing Fog

Occurs when tiny droplets of water supercooled in air freeze upon contact of surface

Warm Front

Occurs when warm air advances replacing cool air, forcing cold air below (clouds, fog, light rain)

Cold Front

Occurs when cold air forces warm air up (Creation of clouds and thunderstorms)

Stationary Front

Both warm and cold fronts meet (Clouds, Moisture, prolonged precipitation)

Occluded Front

Faster moving cold front catches up to slower warm front and replaces it

Induced Drag

aerodynamic drag that occurs as a byproduct of lift, decreases with airspeed

Parasitic Drag

resistance an aircraft experiences when moving through air, increases with airspeed
