  textual form. Standard weights. Weights established for numerous items involved in weight and balance computations. These weights should not be used if actual weights are available. STAR. See standard terminal arrival route. Static longitudinal stability. The aerodynamic pitching moments required ... pressure. Pressure of air that is still or not moving, measured perpendicular to the surface of the aircraft. Static stability. The initial tendency an aircraft displays when disturbed from a state of equilibrium. Station. A location in the airplane that…

  Neutral dynamic stability—once displaced, the displaced object neither decreases nor increases in amplitude. A worn automobile shock absorber exhibits this tendency. • Negative dynamic stability—over time, the motion of the displaced object increases and becomes more divergent. Stability ... quality of the aircraft’s response to the pilot’s control application when maneuvering the aircraft, regardless of its stability characteristics. Longitudinal Stability (Pitching) In designing an aircraft, a great deal of effort is spent in developing the desired degree…

  manner as those mentioned for an excess weight condition. It is vital to comply with weight and balance limits established for all aircraft. Operating above the maximum weight limitation compromises the structural integrity of the aircraft and can adversely affect ... performance. Stability and control are also affected by improper balance. Stability Loading in a nose-heavy condition causes problems in controlling and raising the nose, especially during takeoff and landing. Loading in a tail heavy condition has a serious effect…

For example, a 10° climb would require thrust to equal drag ... aircraft is no longer able to climb. At this point, the aircraft has reached its “absolute ceiling.” Forces in Descents As in climbs, the forces that act on the aircraft go through definite changes when a descent is entered from…
