Quiz_________________?
medical exam for PPL -
Answer
3rd class valid
- <40yo: 60m
- >=40yo: 24m
Quiz_________________?
BasicMed Rule -
Answer
- max 6 seats (include pilot)
- <18k ft MSL
- max 250 kts
- not for hire/compensated
Quiz_________________?
How to increase lift? -
2
, Answer
- increase speed
- increase wing's camper (shape or flap)
- increase angle of attack
note: Bernoulli and 3rd law of Newton
Quiz_________________?
chord line -
Answer
- An imaginary straight line from the leading edge to the trailing edge of an airfoil.
- flap down will increase angle of attack
Quiz_________________?
Angle of Attack -
Answer
The angle formed by the wing chord line and the relative wind.
Quiz_________________?
parasite drag -
Answer
drag that does not contribute to lift generation; drag caused by landing gear struts, cooling
intakes, antennas, rivet heads, etc.
Quiz_________________?
3
, Induced Drag -
Answer
Generated by the airflow circulation around the wing as it creates lift.
Quiz_________________?
Drag and Speed Relationship -
Answer
Quiz_________________?
L/D max -
Answer
The maximum ratio between total lift and total drag. This point provides the best glide speed.
Any deviation from the best glide speed increase drag and reduces the distance you can glide
Quiz_________________?
Critical angle of attack -
Answer
The angle of attack at which an airfoil stalls (loses lift) regardless of the aircraft's airspeed,
attitude, or weight.
