Plane Parts
These stick out from the middle of an airplane and generate lift.
What is a Wing
Strong bursts of wind.
What is a Gust
This frozen water can be found near thunderstorms and can cause damage to your aircraft
What is Hail
This important fluid reduces friction in the engine and helps keep it cool
What is Oil
This device talks to satellites above the earth to help us know where we are.
What is a GPS
Propellers
This is the sudden change of wind speed or direction
What is Wind Shear
This type of disturbance in the atmosphere can cause an aircraft to move around unexpectedly during flight
What is Turbulance
This important fluid should be checked before every flight and the amount is used to when calculating weight and balance
This spinning object usually found on an airport control tower can identify objects in the air and show them on a screen
What is a RADAR
These help a plane's wing producing greater lift, permit a lower landing speed, and produce greater drag to allow a steeper descent angle without airspeed increase
What are Flaps
This is the primary cause of wind
What is the Sun
Moisture, instability, and lifting can cause this
What is a Thunderstorm
Thes important round air holding objects help provide a smooth landing on land
You can call these helpful people on the radio and get assistance if you have lost your way
What Is ATC
This helps the pilot by releasing some of the pressure they feel on the control yoke when pitching the plane up or down
What is the elevator trim tab
What is the Coriolis Force
This type of cloud can produce strong storms
What is a Cumulonimbus Cloud
These small discs of metal along with their hugging friends help stop forward movement while on the ground
What are Brakes
This detailed map can help you plan a route of flight and gather basic information about an airport
This tall vertical airfoil helps a plane from moving on its vertical axis
What is the vertical stabilizer
This friction offsets the Coriolis's effect on wind making it move across isobars rather than parallel
What is Surface Friction
This type of aviation weather alert notification should help you avoid strong and dangerous storms
What is a Convective SIGMET
This small hold on some planes causes a sound when the plane is about to exceed the critical angle of attack
What is the Stall Warning Horn
These small ground-based navigation aids can be tuned on a radio which can help you determine your direction of flight
What is a VOR
