Take-Off and Climb
The name given to the safe take-off speed.
What is Critical Speed?
When the pilot moves the controls left, the aircraft-
What is rolls to the left?
The way the nose points when descending.
What is down?
Name one of the four forces of flight.
What is Lift, Weight, Drag, Thrust?
Name one Primary control Surface
What is Elevator, Aileron, Rudder?
This force pushes an aircraft forward during take-off
What is thrust?
These control surfaces mainly control roll during a turn.
What are ailerons?
During descent, pilots usually reduce this.
What is engine power/thrust?
As Thrust Increases, drag...
Increases
This control surface controls pitch.
What is the elevator?
As aircraft speed increases during take-off, this force increases.
What is lift?
This motion occurs when an aircraft banks into a turn.
What is roll?
These devices increase drag during landing.
What are flaps?
This force opposes thrust.
What is drag?
This control surface controls yaw.
What is the rudder?
This is the name of the upward nose movement during take-off.
What is pitch?
To turn the aircraft nose left, the rudder moves in this direction.
What is left?
This is the name for the last stage of approach before landing.
What is final approach?
This force pulls an aircraft toward Earth.
What is weight/gravity?
These control surfaces are usually found on the wings.
What are ailerons?
Pilots use these during take-off to increase lift at lower speeds.
What are Flaps?
During a steep turn, this must increase because some lift is directed sideways.
What is lift?
Pilots perform this maneuver before touchdown to reduce descent rate.
What is a flare?
For level flight, these two pairs of forces must be equal.
What are lift and weight, and thrust and drag?
These two control surfaces are commonly used together in coordinated turns.
What are the ailerons and rudder?
