Having nothing to do with time, one degree of latitude or longitude is equal to sixty of these smaller units.
Fuel
A spot where an aircraft changes direction is called this.
Waypoint
This is the speed at which an aircraft's wings are generating enough lift to counteract the weight of the aircraft and lift it off the ground.
VR
Thrust
The unit that measures speed called knots, or kts, is short for this.
Nautical miles per hour.
The Cessna 172 is powered by this fuel, commonly used elsewhere.
Gasoline
This instrument shows the attitude of a plane.
Artificial horizon
The variable V in the VR equation stands for this element of flight.
Velocity/Speed
A wing works by creating a stream of faster, lower pressure air above it and slower, ________ pressure air below it. This causes the wing to be forced up, similar to how a syringe will retract when the end is plugged and the plunger is pulled.
Higher
One nautical mile is equal to one _______ of latitude.
Minute
Block fuel is a representation of this.
Total fuel
A standard rate turn is ______ degrees per second, making the aircraft able to reverse course (do a 180) in one minute exactly.
Three
This equation can be used to calculate VR (rotation speed) of the aircraft.
The modern lift equation
When the wings cannot provide enough lift to support the weight of the aircraft, this occurs.
A stall
One nautical mile is equal to this many meters.
1852
This type of fuel is used in most jet engine powered aircraft.
Jet A-1
The one in sixty rule, which is very useful when flying in smaller aircraft, states this.
A heading error of 1° will cause a track error of about 1 NM over the course of 60 NM.
This variable is a representation of how much lift the wings of a plane generate on their own.
Lift coefficient
A wing is made in this shape
Airfoil
18.9 NM
You have loaded 63L of trip fuel, now you need to load this much contingency fuel.
5% of 63 = 3.15L
Pilotage, dead reckoning, radio, inertial, satellite, and celestial are all types of this.
Navigation
V1, VR, Vlof, and V2 are not the only V speeds, the The International Civil Aviation Organization has defined this many of them.
46
A plane must stay at or below this flight speed, abbreviated as Vne. If a pilot does not obey this rule, extreme damage to the aircraft can be caused due to immense drag.
