Additionally, both private and commercial pilot checkrides require the demonstration of slow flight. Weight : The force gravity exerts on the aircraft. Drag : The aerodynamic force opposing the aircraft’s forward motion. This increases lift but comes at the cost of increased induced drag. Check your POH for specifics.

The downward deflected aileron produces more lift, and more lift produces more induced drag. This added drag will cause the aircraft to yaw towards the direction of the raised wing. Induced Drag Induced drag is a byproduct of lift. Induced Drag Induced drag is a byproduct of lift.

They are also one of the most feared maneuvers during the private pilot checkride. Aircraft Weight and Limitations An aircraft’s weight affects inertia and stopping distance. The POH lists landing distances for specific gross weights. Full flaps are generally used since they lower approach speed and increase drag.
