medical exam for PPL - ANSWER ✔✔3rd class valid
- <40yo: 60m
- >=40yo: 24m
BasicMed Rule - ANSWER ✔✔- max 6 seats (include pilot)
- <18k ft MSL
- max 250 kts
- not for hire/compensated
How to increase lift? - ANSWER ✔✔- increase speed
- increase wing's camper (shape or flap)
- increase angle of attack
note: Bernoulli and 3rd law of Newton
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
,Angle of Attack - ANSWER ✔✔The angle formed by the wing chord
line and the relative wind.
parasite drag - ANSWER ✔✔drag that does not contribute to lift
generation; drag caused by landing gear struts, cooling intakes,
antennas, rivet heads, etc.
Induced Drag - ANSWER ✔✔Generated by the airflow circulation
around the wing as it creates lift.
Drag and Speed Relationship - ANSWER ✔✔
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
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.
Stall Recovery Procedure - ANSWER ✔✔1. Lower the angle of attack
(pitch
down)
2. Add full power and raise the nose after the stall is "broken"

, 3. Establish a full power climb
4. Flaps up incrementally (if applicable)
center of pressure (lift) - ANSWER ✔✔The point along the chord line
of a wing at which all the aerodynamic forces are considered to be
concentrated
center of gravity (CG) - ANSWER ✔✔The center of gravity of the
aircraft depending on weight and balance of the loads
Aeronautical Sectional Chart - ANSWER ✔✔
Gyroscopic Precession - ANSWER ✔✔When a force is applied to
one side of a spinning object, the opposite happens to the other side.
Spiraling Slipstream - ANSWER ✔✔The slipstream of a propeller-
driven airplane rotates around the airplane. This slipstream strikes the
left side of the vertical fin, causing the aircraft to yaw slightly. Rudder
offset is sometimes used by aircraft designers to counteract this
tendency.
Adverse Yaw - ANSWER ✔✔Yawing tendency toward the outside of
a turn.
