- Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Performance › Climb Performance
Positive climb performance occurs when an aircraft gains PE by increasing altitude. Two basic factors, or a combination of the two factors, contribute to positive climb performance in most aircraft: 1. The aircraft climbs (gains PE) using excess power above ... that required to maintain level flight, or 2. The aircraft climbs by converting airspeed (KE) to altitude (PE). As an example of factor 1 above, an aircraft with an engine capable of producing 200 horsepower (at a given altitude…
- Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Performance › Climb Performance Factors
Climb Performance Factors Since weight, altitude and configuration changes affect excess thrust and power, they also affect climb performance. Climb performance is directly dependent upon the ability to produce either excess thrust or excess power. Earlier in the book ... altitude, lowering the landing gear, or lowering the flaps all decrease both excess thrust and excess power for all aircraft. Therefore, maximum AOC and maximum ROC performance decreases under any of these conditions. Weight has a very pronounced effect…

teach pilots to understand the susceptibility of the human system to spatial disorientation. 2. They demonstrate that judgments of aircraft attitude based on bodily sensations are frequently false. 3. They help decrease the occurrence and degree of disorientation through ... better understanding of the relationship between aircraft motion, head movements, and resulting disorientation. 4. They help instill a greater confidence in relying on flight instruments for assessing true aircraft attitude. A pilot should not attempt any of these maneuvers…
- Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Performance › Rate of Climb (ROC)
Rate of Climb (ROC) ROC is a comparison of altitude gained relative to the time needed to reach that altitude. ROC is simply the vertical component of the aircraft’s flight path velocity vector. For maximum ROC performance, a pilot ... flies the aircraft at VY so as to achieve a maximum gain in altitude over a given period of time. Maximum ROC expedites a climb to an assigned altitude. This gains the greatest vertical distance over a period of time…

Diverse Departure Obstacle Assessment to 25/46 NM 4. Takeoff Obstacles. Takeoff Obstacles Notes in the “Takeoff Minimums and (OBSTACLE) Departure Procedures” section of the Terminal Procedures Publication (TPP) identifies obstacle(s) that penetrate the 40:1 OCS. The obstacle notes ... alert the pilot to the height and location of the obstacles relative to the DER so they can be avoided. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways: the pilot may be able to see and avoid the obstruction…
- Chapter 7: Aircraft Systems › Fixed-Pitch Propeller
Small aircraft are equipped with either one of two types of propellers: fixed-pitch or adjustable-pitch. Figure 7-6. Changes in propeller blade angle from hub to tip. Fixed-Pitch Propeller A propeller with fixed blade angles ... fixed-pitch propeller. The pitch of this propeller is set by the manufacturer and cannot be changed. Since a fixed-pitch propeller achieves the best efficiency only at a given combination of airspeed and rpm, the pitch setting is ideal…
