  Chapter 17: Aeromedical Factors › Health and Physiological Factors Affecting Pilot Performance › Diving or Rolling Beyond the Vertical Plane

  Diving or Rolling Beyond the Vertical Plane This maneuver may produce extreme disorientation. While in straight-and-level flight, the 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 his or her head forward, looks to the right or left, then immediately returns his or her head to an upright position…

  Chapter 8: Flight Instruments › Angle of Attack Indicators

  Angle of Attack Indicators The purpose of an AOA indicator is to give the pilot better situational awareness pertaining to the aerodynamic health of the airfoil. This can also be referred to as stall margin awareness. More simply explained ... between the current AOA that the airfoil is operating at, and the AOA at which the airfoil will stall (critical AOA). Speed by itself is not a reliable parameter to avoid a stall. An airplane can stall at any speed…

  Chapter 5: Aerodynamics of Flight › Moment and Moment Arm

  objective is to make the moments (due to thrust, drag, and lift) as small as possible and, by proper location of the tail, to provide the means of balancing an aircraft longitudinally for any condition of flight. The pilot ... variations of load. Trimming devices, such as elevator trim tabs and adjustable horizontal stabilizers, are used to counteract the moments set up by fuel burnoff and loading or off-loading of passengers or cargo…

  Chapter 5: Aerodynamics of Flight › Basic Propeller Principles › Corkscrew Effect

  results in more ground friction, or drag, on the left tire than on the right, causing a further turning moment to the left. The magnitude of this moment is dependent on many variables. Some of these variables are: 1. Size ... Size of the aircraft 4. Condition of the ground surface Figure 5-47. Torque reaction. This yawing moment on the takeoff roll is corrected by the pilot’s proper use of the rudder or rudder trim. Corkscrew Effect The high…

  Chapter 10: Weight and Balance › Determining Loaded Weight and CG › Graph Method

  determining the loaded weight and CG is the use of graphs provided by the manufacturers. To simplify calculations, the moment may sometimes be divided by 100, 1,000, or 10,000. [Figures ... followed in the graph method as were used in the computational method except the graphs provided will calculate the moments and allow the pilot to determine if the aircraft is loaded within limits. To determine the moment using the loading…

  Chapter 10: Weight and Balance › Determining Loaded Weight and CG › Weight Shifting

  When weight is shifted from one location to another, the total weight of the aircraft is unchanged. The total moments, however, do change in relation and proportion to the direction and distance the weight is moved. When weight is moved ... forward, the total moments decrease; when weight is moved aft, total moments increase. The moment change is proportional to the amount of weight moved. Since many aircraft have forward and aft baggage compartments, weight may be shifted from…
