ATSC 231 TEST 3 EXAM REVIEW QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS, 100% ACCURATE, GRADED A+ 3 hazards of turbulence - -• Loss of Control • Airframe Damage • Passenger Comfort/Safety Which type of aircraft have the most accidents as a result of turbulence? - -Part 121 Annual turbulence injuries - -58 injuries Aircraft Turbulence - -- Irregular motion of an aircraft in flight, especially when characterized by rapid up-and-down motion, caused by a rapid variations of atmospheric wind velocities. Turbulence Meteorology - -Meteorological Turbulence - Irregular fluctuations occurring in fluid motions What factors affect the transition from laminar to turbulent flow - -- Wind speed - Surface Roughness - Air Density - Stability - Viscosity - Other factors Two Types of turbulent flow - -- Wave - Eddies or Vortices Characteristics of waves - -- Regular oscillation of wind Characteristics of eddies - -- Eddies are vortices embedded in the mean wind flow What scale of turbulence affects aircraft? - -Microscale Critical Eddie size for aircraft - -50 to 1500 ft What is the relationship between AOA and lift - -Lift increases until critical AOA is reached which causes a stall Load Factor - -- Ratio of the total air load acting on an aircraft to the gross weight of the aircraft What affects load factor in turbulence - -Vertical Acceleration increases it How does airspeed affect an aircrafts susceptibility to turbulence - -Faster you are moving the stronger the load factor Wing Loading - -- Ratio of weight of aircraft to wing surfa
