International Standard Atmosphere
ISA temperature in Fahrenheit.
What is 59º F ?
The equal and opposite reaction of the airplane in response to the propeller turning right.
What is torque?
The altitude read off of the altimeter.
What is indicated altitude?
The force of lift must be greater than and directed opposite of this force in order for an aircraft to fly.
What is weight/gravity?
L
ISA temperature in celsius.
What is 15º C ?
The air is spiraled around the fuselage due to the propeller and hits the left side of the vertical stabilizer.
What is corkscrew effect/spiraling slipstream?
The vertical distance above mean sea level (MSL).
What is true altitude?
This principle states that as the velocity of a moving fluid increases, the pressure within the fluid decreases.
What is Bernoulli's Principle?
U
What is uniform?
ISA pressure in inches of mercury.
What is 29.92" Hg ?
The propeller takes a bigger “bite” of air on the
right side producing more thrust on that side.
The vertical distance above ground level (AGL); the “height” of the aircraft.
What is absolute altitude?
This scientific law states that for every reaction, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What is Newton's Third Law?
What is charlie?
ISA pressure in millibars.
What is 1013.2 mb ?
A force is applied to a spinning propeller and the force is felt 90º ahead in the plane of rotation.
What is gyroscopic precession?
The vertical distance above the standard datum plane; equal to indicated altitude when the altimeter is set to 29.92” Hg.
What is pressure altitude?
As the angle of attack increases, the center of pressure/center of lift moves in this direction on the wing.
What is forward?
Q
What is quebec?
ISA standard temperature lapse rate.
What is -2º C per 1,000 feet?
By using the rudders to yaw to the right about this axis, pilots are able to counteract the effects of left-turning tendencies.
What is the vertical axis?
Pressure altitude corrected for non-standard temperature; the "feels-like" altitude of the aircraft.
What is density altitude?
The asymmetry between two acting surfaces of an airfoil can be defined as this.
What is the camber?
What is victor?
