  Chapter 5: Aerodynamics of Flight › Load Factors

  aircraft, the advantageous use of these forces, and the operating limitations of the aircraft being flown. For example, a load factor of 3 means the total load on an aircraft’s structure is three times its weight. Since load factors ... expressed in terms of Gs, a load factor of 3 may be spoken of as 3 Gs, or a load factor of 4 as 4 Gs. If an aircraft is pulled up from a dive, subjecting the pilot…

  pilot should sit normally, either with eyes closed or gaze lowered to the floor. The instructor pilot starts a positive, coordinated roll toward a 30° or 40° angle of bank. As this is in progress, the pilot tilts ... head forward, looks to the right or left, then immediately returns his or her head to an upright position. The instructor pilot should time the maneuver so the roll is stopped as the pilot returns his or her head upright…

  Chapter 17: Aeromedical Factors › Health and Physiological Factors Affecting Pilot Performance › Climbing While Turning

  instructor pilot or an appropriate safety pilot. Climbing While Accelerating With the pilot’s eyes closed, the instructor pilot maintains approach airspeed in a straight-and-level attitude for several seconds, then accelerates while maintaining straight-and-level attitude ... level attitude, the instructor pilot now executes, with a relatively slow entry, a well coordinated turn of about 1.5 positive G (approximately 50° bank) for 90°. While in the turn, without outside visual references and under the effect…

It is valid only for a specific weight, configuration and altitude and shows the maximum amount of positive ... negative lift the airplane is capable of generating at a given speed. Also shows the safe load factor limits and the load factor that the aircraft can sustain at various speeds. Victor airways. Airways based on a centerline that extends…

  Chapter 17: Aeromedical Factors › Health and Physiological Factors Affecting Pilot Performance › Reversal of Motion

  three planes of motion. While straight and level, with the pilot’s eyes closed, the instructor pilot smoothly and positively rolls the aircraft to approximately 45° bank attitude while maintaining heading and pitch attitude. This creates the illusion ... illusion is noted, the pilot should open his or her eyes and observe that the aircraft is in a banked attitude…

  Chapter 16: Transition to Jet-Powered Airplanes › Jet Airplane Descent and Approach › Descent Energy Management

  minute The exponential increase in parasite drag at higher speeds has a significant impact on both the rate of descent and the descent angle. Using the sample numbers, a 20% increase in airspeed from 210 to 250 knots, results ... increase in the descent rate. However, a 20% increase in airspeed from 250 to 300 knots results in a 100% increase in the descent rate. Therefore, when at a higher altitude than desired in a descent, lowering the nose…
