100

This is the lowest mach number that will create sonic airflow somewhere on the aircraft.

What is Critical Mach Number ?


100

The T-6B Load Limit is designed to be less than the ______ of individual components, This virtually guarantees the airplane will reach its expected service life

What is the elastic limit?

100

T-6B Ultimate Load factor is this much bigger than its Load limit factor.

What is 150%

100

This Causes Autorotation.

What is asymmetrically stalled wings

100

These three factors determine the strength of wingtip vorticies. 

What is Weight, speed and wing shape.

Heavy, Clean, slow.

200

This is the boundary that separates Normal Command from Reverse Command.


What is Cruise Endurance Velocity? Or Cruise endurance AOA, (8.8 Units) Or Lowest point on the Pr Curve.

200

It is forbidden to purposely enter this spin in a T-6B.

What is a Inverted Spin?

200

This is the recommended Speed when traveling through turbulence in a T-6B.

What is 180KIAS

Max speed is 207KIAS


200

This is the location of the spin axis on the T-6B.

Vertical axis through the cockpit.
200

This is the primary hazard of wake turbulence

What is induced roll.

300

These four factors determine the Coefficient of Friction. 

What is Runway Surface, Runway Condition, Tire type, and Degree of brake application.

300

This axis is used to determine the direction of P-Factor yaw.

What is the Thrust Axis?

300

Asymmetric loading and Gust loading have these load limits.

What is 4.7G's and -1G's or 2/3rds of limit load factor.

300

These design features reduce the severity of spin characteristics

What is Dorsal fin, ventral fin, and strakes

300

This is the definition of wind shear

Sudden change in wind direction and or speed over a short distance. Can be vertical or horizontal and vary in intensity.

400

Turn performance is measured using these two parameters.

What is Turn Rate and Turn Radius?

Only Airspeed and AOB are control these parameters.

400

Turn Rate and Turn Radius are independent of this.

Weight! 

400

This speed is the VBEST speed for glide range for T-6B

What is 125 KIAS.

400

This spin is aerodynamically impossible for the T-6B to enter.

What is a flat spin.

400

This is the best technique for dealing with wind shear.

Avoid it! pg.170 first sentence

500

This Divergence happens when you have strong Directional stability and weak lateral stability.

What is Spiral Divergence?

500

This is the definition for Maximum cruise endurance

What is the maximum amount of time an airplane can remain airborne on a given amount of fuel?
500

Max angle of climb speed for the T-6B

Not flown, but it is 140 KIAS.

500

Spin Recovery, Go!

1. Gear Flaps speed brake retract.

2.PCL IDLE

3.Rudder, Full opposite of spin Direction

4. Hold stick forward of neutral, ailerons neutral

5. Slowly pull up to level flight after rotation stops.

500
