  3. Today we will discuss… • Parts of an Airplane • Flight Controls • Aerodynamics • Systems and Flight Instruments

  4. Parts of an Airplane: Airframe • Fuselage, Wings, Cowling, Empennage • Control Surfaces, Flaps • Landing Gear

  5. Airframe

  6. Airframe • Conventional Gear VS. Tricycle Gear

  7. Primary Flight Controls Ailerons ROLL – AROUND LONGITUDINAL AXIS Elevator PITCH – AROUND LATERAL AXIS Rudder YAW – AROUND VERTICAL AXIS

  24. Secondary Flight Controls: FLAPS • One purpose of wing flaps is to allow a steeperangle ofdescent without an increase in airspeed (approach and landing) Flaps Retracted: 0° Flaps Extended: 30°

  25. Flaps

  26. Flaps

  27. Flaps

  28. Flaps Various landing / taking off in St Maarten

  29. Aerodynamics boils down to: Airspeed Flightpath

  30. Four Basic Flight Maneuvers Straight-and-level Climb Descent Turn

  31. Aerodynamics The four forces acting on an airplane in flight are LIFT, WEIGHT, THRUST, and DRAG

  32. Aerodynamics LIFT AOA • LIFT is what makes an airplane fly

  33. Angle of Attack and Airspeed L L L Lift α AOA  Airspeed High Speed Pass Low Speed Pass

  34. Critical Angle of Attack (Stall) The airflow can’t take the curve!

  35. Aerodynamics

  36. Aerodynamics • Stall • The sudden loss of lift and increase of drag caused by exceeding the critical angle of attack. • Can occur at any airspeed, weight, or power setting

  37. Stall/Spin Demo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFcW5-1NP60&feature=related https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=er3bgOTsILw
