  Chapter 5: Aerodynamics of Flight › Stalls

  This peak is called the CL-MAX. The amount of lift the wing produces drops dramatically after exceeding the CL-MAX or critical AOA, but as stated above, it does not completely stop producing lift. In most straight-wing aircraft ... wing is designed to stall the wing root first. The wing root reaches its critical AOA first making the stall progress outward toward the wingtip. By having the wing root stall first, aileron effectiveness is maintained at the wingtips, maintaining…

Planning a definite study program and following it as closely ... study habits usually result in an unsatisfactory score. In addition to learning aeronautical knowledge, such as the principles of flight, a student pilot is also required to gain skill in flight maneuvers.

  Chapter 5: Aerodynamics of Flight › Boundary Layer Separation › Sweepback

  lift, or moment coefficients. In other words, the use of sweepback “softens” the force divergence. A disadvantage of swept wings is that they tend to stall at the wingtips rather than at the wing roots. [Figure 5-69] This ... flow spanwise toward the tips and to separate near the leading edges. Because the tips of a swept wing are on the aft part of the wing (behind the CL), a wingtip stall causes the CL to move forward…

The flight instructor must possess a thorough understanding of the learning process, knowledge of the fundamentals ... student pilot. Use of a structured training program and formal course syllabus is crucial for effective and comprehensive flight training.
