Straight-and-level flight, turns, climbs, and descents. The four forces acting on an airplane in flight are lift, weight, thrust, and drag. lift, weight, gravity, and thrust. The angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls will change with an increase in gross weight. Starting, taxiing, takeoff, and landing.

Aircraft Weight and Limitations An aircraft’s weight affects inertia and stopping distance. The POH lists landing distances for specific gross weights. Smaller aircraft may only have short field landing distances for maximum gross weight. Power controls the rate of descent, and pitch controls airspeed.

We continued our descent for a couple of seconds and then he began a turn again to the left towards the taxiway. In my old flying club, two checkouts in the Cessna 210 were required because of different handling qualities with gross weight. One checkout was at normal weight and c.g.

This system includes modes for: roll pitch heading vertical speed altitude hold approach These modes allow for a steady rate of descent, ascent, and consistent speed and altitude ranges. One of the standout features of the Cessna 172’s cockpit is its digital autopilot system.

This is often the clean configuration at max gross weight. Climbs and Descents During Slow Flight It’s counterintuitive, but pitching up will not result in a climb during slow flight. Pilots use reference stalling speeds instead. V S0 is the stall speed in the landing configuration. Check your POH for specifics.
