conditions that increase the AOA, the speed of the airflow over the wing, and chances of Mach buffet are: • High altitudes—the higher an aircraft flies, the thinner the air and the greater the AOA required to produce the lift ... weight of the aircraft. Whether the increase in G forces is caused by turns, rough control usage, or turbulence, the effect of increasing the wing’s AOA is the same…

severe turbulence could result in a LOC-I event and “catastrophic” fatal accident. The “occasional” likelihood and “catastrophic” severity indicate a high (red) risk on the risk assessment matrix. Tricia’s original proposed route traverses some very high and rugged ... matrix. 12121 The Animas Air Park elevation of 6,684 feet combined with July temperatures result in a high density altitude, which constitutes a hazard. The combination of high density altitude and high terrain in the area could lead…

engine inoperative. This airspeed provides the most altitude gain in a given period of time in a light, twin-engine airplane following an engine failure. WAAS. See wide area augmentation system. Wake turbulence. Wingtip vortices that are created when ... airplane generates lift. When an airplane generates lift, air spills over the wingtips from the high pressure areas below the wings to the low pressure areas above them. This flow causes rapidly rotating whirlpools of air called wingtip vortices…
