Enabling Objectives:
Completely supported by this lesson topic:
1.151
Describe how the forces acting on an airplane produce
a level coordinated turn.
1.152
Define load factor.
1.153
Describe the relationship between load factor and
angle of bank for level flight.
1.154
State the effect of maneuvering on stall speed.
1.155
Define load, strength, static strength, static
failure, fatigue strength, fatigue failure, service
life, creep, limit load factor, elastic limit,
overstress/over-G, and ultimate load factor.
1.156
State the relationship between the elastic limit and
the limit load factor.
1.157
Describe and identify the parts of the V-n/V-g
diagram, including the major axes, limit load factor,
ultimate load factor, maneuvering speed/cornering
velocity, redline airspeed, accelerated stall lines,
and the safe flight envelope.
1.158
List and describe the phenomena that are used to
determine redline airspeed.
1.159
State the limit load factors, maneuvering speed, and
redline airspeed for the T-34C and T-37B.
1.160
Describe the effects of weight, altitude, and
configuration on the safe flight envelope.
1.161
Define asymmetric loading and state the limitations.
