The horizontal component of lift. The vertical component of lift. The four forces acting on an airplane in flight are lift, weight, thrust, and drag. lift, gravity, power, and friction. lift, weight, gravity, and thrust. remain the same regardless of gross weight. Correct!

A smaller bank angle will result in more lift, while an increased bank angle will reduce the lift. As an aircraft banks, lift is divided into horizontal and vertical components. The horizontal component of lift causes the aircraft to turn. Combining both components of lift, the total lift required increases.

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. Reducing lift puts more weight on the wheels.

Lift : The aerodynamic force generated due to airflow over the wings. Weight : The force gravity exerts on the aircraft. Drag : The aerodynamic force opposing the aircraft’s forward motion. The aircraft’s deceleration reduces the airflow over the wings, which reduces lift. So, how do we increase lift to maintain altitude?
