  tools. The aviation mechanic needs these tools to successfully complete the maintenance, repair, installation, or certification of aircraft equipment. Many examples of using mathematical principles by the aviation mechanic are available. Tolerances in turbine engine components are critical, making ... important that the aviation mechanic can make accurate measurements and mathematical calculations. An aviation mechanic working on aircraft fuel systems also uses mathematical principles to calculate volumes and capacities of fuel tanks. The use of fractions and surface area calculations…

  Chapter 5: Aerodynamics of Flight › Axes of an Aircraft

  Whenever an aircraft changes its flight attitude or position in flight, it rotates about one or more of the three axes. [Figure 5-18] The aircraft’s motion about its longitudinal axis resembles the roll of a ship from side ... side. In fact, the names used to describe the motion about an aircraft’s three axes were originally nautical terms. They have been adapted to aeronautical terminology due to the similarity of motion of aircraft and seagoing ships. The motion…

  Stability & Control An aircraft must have sufficient stability to maintain a uniform flightpath and recover from the various upsetting forces. Also, to achieve the best performance, the aircraft must have the proper response to the movement of the controls. Control ... pilot action of moving the flight controls, providing the aerodynamic force that induces the aircraft to follow a desired flightpath. When an aircraft is said to be controllable, it means that the aircraft responds easily and promptly to movement…
