Medium level turn

Question 1

What is a medium level turn?

Answer 1

Changing direction at a constant
Bank angle
Altitude
Airspeed

Question 2

What is load factor?

Answer 2

lift/weight = 1 = 1G
30% AOB = 15% = 1.15G

Question 3

Rate of turn

Answer 3

Degrees per second

Question 4

What is a standard rate turn

Answer 4

360* turn in 2 min
3* per second

Question 5

Affect of a decrease in speed on turn performance

Answer 5

decreased radius turn and increase rate of turn

Question 6

Affect of a increase in speed on turn performance

Answer 6

Increase in airspeed = increased radius of turn and decreased rate of turn

Question 7

What will an increase of AOB have on the rate and radius of turn

Answer 7

decrease the radius and increase the rate of turn

Question 8

What will a decrease of AOB have on the rate and radius of turn

Answer 8

increase radius and decrease the rate of turn

Question 9

Better turn performance is from

Answer 9

A decrease in speed
OR
Increase in angle of bank

Question 10

What is adverse aileron yaw

Answer 10

Differential L/D on the wings creates a YAWING motion opposite to the direction of roll

Question 11

How is adverse aileron yaw reduced by manufactures

Answer 11

Frise and differential ailerons

Question 12

What is a frise aileron

Answer 12

An aileron with a piece of metal sticking out of the bottom side that creates drag in the gap between the aerofoil and aileron when deflected upward, to help balance drag created by the up going wing.

Question 13

What is a differential aileron?

Answer 13

Ailerons that have more upwards movement than downward to help balance the induced drag experienced by the up going wing

Question 14

What is a slip

Answer 14

When turning to the left the tail slips into the turn to the left, showing the balance ball on the same side as the way you are turning

Question 15

What is a skid

Answer 15

When turning to the left the tail skids out of the turn to the right, showing the balance ball on the opposite side to which you are turning.

Question 16

Application of a medium level turn

Answer 16

BBB
Bank
Balance
Back pressure

Question 17

What is the anticipation for levelling wings out of a turn

Answer 17

1/3 of angle of bank
If at 30* AOB and turning to a heading of 270* level off wings at 260*

Question 18

Work cycle for doing a 360* turn

Answer 18

Lookout
Ref Point, HDG, ALT
BBB
APAL to maintain ALT ASI AOB

Question 26

What type of turns have an under-banking tendency

Answer 26

Descending turns

Question 27

What is angle of bank

Answer 27

Angle between lateral axis and horizon

Question 28

What are the 2 factors that determine turn performance

Answer 28
