- Chapter 5: Aerodynamics of Flight › Aerodynamic Forces in Flight Maneuvers › Forces in Turns
basic truth about turns is that when the aircraft banks, lift acts inward toward the center of the turn, perpendicular to the lateral axis as well as upward. Newton’s First Law of Motion, the Law of Inertia, states that ... line until acted on by some other force. An aircraft, like any moving object, requires a sideward force to make it turn. In a normal turn, this force is supplied by banking the aircraft so that lift is exerted inward…
- Chapter 8: Flight Instruments › Gyroscopic Flight Instruments › Turn Coordinator
Turn Coordinator The gimbal in the turn coordinator is canted; therefore, its gyro can sense both rate of roll and rate of turn. Since turn coordinators are more prevalent in training aircraft, this discussion concentrates on that instrument. When rolling ... into or out of a turn, the miniature aircraft banks in the direction the aircraft is rolled. A rapid roll rate causes the miniature aircraft to bank more steeply than a slow roll rate. The turn coordinator can be used…
- Chapter 8: Flight Instruments › Gyroscopic Flight Instruments › Turn-and-Slip Indicator
Turn Indicators Aircraft use two types of turn indicators: turn-and-slip indicators and turn coordinators. Because of the way the gyro is mounted, the turn-and-slip indicator shows only the rate of turn in degrees per second ... turn coordinator is mounted at an angle, or canted, so it can initially show roll rate. When the roll stabilizes, it indicates rate of turn. Both instruments indicate turn direction and quality (coordination), and also serve as a backup source…

Engages all three learning domains. ⦁ Is interactive. ⦁ Should not promote errors. ⦁ Should promote situational awareness and opportunities for decision-making. ⦁ Requires time-pressured decisions. The flight instructor should make the situation as realistic as possible. This means the learner knows ... flight instructor should understand in advance which outcomes are positive and/or negative and give the learner the freedom to make both good and poor decisions. This does not mean that the learner should be allowed to make an unsafe decision…

Standard 45° Procedure Turn 1. Start timing at point A (usually identified on approach procedures by a fix). For example, fly outbound on a heading of 360° for a given time (2 minutes, in this example). [Figure ... After flying outbound for 2 minutes (point B), turn left 45° to a heading of 315° using a standard rate turn. After roll-out and stabilizing, fly this new heading of 315° for 40 seconds and the aircraft will…

Figure 7-41] During this interval, reduce airspeed to the holding speed appropriate for the aircraft. 2. Start a 180° standard rate turn to the right at B. Roll-out at C on the reciprocal of the heading originally used ... Time a 1 minute straight-and-level flight from C to D. 4. Start a 180° standard rate turn to the right at D, rolling-out on the original heading. 5. Fly 1 minute on the original heading, adjusting…
