Thanks Bob. 🙂 Is there a similar reference for emergency heading changes? I was wondering what would happen if you are flying VFR in controlled...
Pic 1. Think of it this way. In straight and level flight, lift must be constant. So at any point on the drag curve, the lift required is the same....
cheers rubber, now that you mention it, I do recall reading the same in Bob's book! Cheers!
Why is point 2 not the same as point 1?
It should be the same if you are flying the same IAS for the same weight, the only difference being that you are having to use more power to maintain ...
I've never understood how the venturi effect over the cockpit affects the alternate static port. But i have read that if you don't have an alternat...
These are only my thoughts, and they could be totally wrong. so don't take them as gold! 1. I for some reason have in my mind the pressure is mea...
Interesting question, I had the same thought when studying aerodynamics aswell. My thinking was along the lines that in normal cruise, the arm (hor...
For a level turn, ailerons are used to roll into the turn to set the desired bank, and then elevator and rudder are used to maintain the turn.
I sat mine a couple months ago - the questions asked are similar to those asked in Bob's books , and the exam overview that a few folks have give in t...
Dihidral is normally found on low wing aircraft to assist in lateral stability. You would usually associate annhedral with high wing aircraft - thi...
I had this exact same thought when I looked at your original post! My initial thought would have been that parasite drag would have increased - as ...
I think it relates to the fact that when we normally increase airspeed, we would reduce the angle of attack to maintain S&L flight, hence induced drag...
These are my thoughts only. I'm sure Bob or Richard, or someone more insightful than me will be along to give the correcnt answers. Question 1. ...
