Term
Bernoulli's Principle
Definition
High speed flow is associated with low pressure, and low speed flow is associated with high pressure.
Term
Angle Of Attack
Definition
Angle between wing chord line and the direction of the relative wind.
Term
Chord Line
Definition
Imaginary straight line from the leading edge to the trailing edge of a wing.
Term
Stall
Definition
When the critical angle of attack is exceeded at any airspeed in any flight attitude.
Term
Spin
Definition
When one wing is less stalled than the other.
Term
Torque Effect
Definition
(left turning tendency)greatest at low airspeed, high angles of attack, and high power.
Term
P-factor
Definition
Causes airplane to yaw to left at high angles of attack.
Term
Load Factor
Definition
(G unites) Additional weight carried by the wings due to the airplanes weight plus the centrifugal force.
Term
Three Primary Flight Controls
Definition
Ailerons, elevator (stabilator), rudder.
Term
Elevator
Definition
Controls lateral movement.
Term
Effectiveness of control system
Definition
Increases with speed because of increased airflow.
Term
Spoilers
Definition
Secondary flight control. High drag device slows aircraft and reduces altitude without increasing speed.
Term
Trim Systems
Definition
Relieve the pilot of maintaining constant pressure on flight controls.
Term
Ground Effect
Definition
Result of interference of the surface of the Earth with airflow patters around an airplane.
Term
Horizontal Component of Lift
Definition
Makes an airplane turn.
Term
Longitudinal Stability
Definition
Determined by location of the CG with respect to the center of lift.
Term
Loading an Airplane aft of CG
Definition
Less stable at all speeds.
Term
Deviation
Definition
Difference between direction indicated by a magnetic compass not installed in an airplane and one installed in an airplane.
Term
Acceleration/Deceleration Error
Definition
Occurs when on an east or west heading.
Term
ANDS
Definition
Accelerate on E/W Heading results in turn to north, deceleration results in turn to south.
Term
Turning to the East From North
Definition
Compass will initially indicate turn to west, then lag.
Term
Turning to the West From North
Definition
Compass will indicate turn to east, then lag.
Term
Turning from South Heading
Definition
Compass will lead a turn.
Term
Pitot-Static System
Definition
Source of pressure for altimeter, vertical speed indicator, and airspeed indicator.
Term

Term
ASI Yellow Arc
Definition
(Caution Range) Airspeed safe only in smooth air.
Term
ASI Red Line
Definition
Speed that should never be exceeded. (Vne)
Term
Vne
Definition
Never Exceed Speed.
Term
Va
Definition
Not color coded. Maneuvering speed.
Term
Maneuvering Speed
Definition
Maximum speed at which full controls can be used without structural damage. Maximum speed for flight in turbulent air.

1,000 ft interval
Term
Altimeter long needle
Definition
100 ft interval
Term
Absolute Altitude
Definition
Altitude above ground, AGL
Term
True Altitude
Definition
Actual distance above mean sea level (MSL). Not susceptible to atmospheric conditions.
Term
Density Altitude
Definition
Pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard temperatures.
Term
Pressure Altitude
Definition
Height above standard plane of 29.92 in hg. Altitude indicated when altimeter is set to 29.92 in hg.
Term
Indicated Altitude
Definition
Same as true altitude when standard conditions exist and altimeter is calibrated properly.
Term
Pressure Altitude = True Altitude
Definition
When standard atmospheric conditions exist.
Term
Standard atmospheric conditions
Definition
29.92" of hg and 15C at sea level.
Term
Higher Altimeter Pressure Setting
Definition
Indicated Altitude Increases
Term
Lower Altimeter Pressure Setting
Definition
Indicated Altitude Decreases
Term
Rate of Altimeter Change
Definition
1,000 Ft per 1 in of pressure change.
Term
High to Low
Definition
Look out Below. Indicates Higher than Actual
Term
