6. Lift and Basic Aerodynamics
An aircraft moves in three dimensions and is controlled by moving it about one or more of its axes.

What is the minimum timeframe and distance a pilot should remain behind another aircraft’s flightpath?

8. Lift and Basic Aerodynamics
The position of the CG of an aircraft determines the stability of the aircraft in flight.
As the CG moves rearward (towards the tail) the aircraft becomes more and more dynamically unstable.

11. Major Components Wings
Wings may be attached at the top, middle, or lower portion of the fuselage.
These designs are referred to as high-, mid-, and low-wing, respectively.

12. Avoiding Wake Turbulence
Avoid following another aircraft on a similar flightpath at an altitude within 1,000 feet.

FAA – Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge

26. Today’s Mission Requirements
Identify in writing the forces acting on an aircraft in flight.
Describe how the forces of light work and how to control them with the use of power and flight controls essential to flight.
Describe the aerodynamics of flight.
Describe in writing how design, weight, load factors, and gravity affect an aircraft during flight maneuvers.
EQ:
Describe the importance of Aeronautical Knowledge for the student pilot learning to fly.

27. Ground Effect
Ground effect is due to the interference of the ground (or water) surface with the airflow patterns about the aircraft in flight.

28. Ground Effect
The reduction in induced flow due to ground effect causes a significant reduction in induced drag but causes no direct effect on parasite drag
the thrust required at low speeds will be reduced.

29. Ground Effect
Ground effect will cause an increase in the local pressure at the static source and produce a lower indication of airspeed and altitude.

30. Ground Effect
Thus, an aircraft may be airborne at an indicated airspeed less than that normally required.

31. Ground Effect
A large reduction in induced drag will take place only when the wing is very close to the ground.
Ground effect is most usually recognized during the liftoff for takeoff or just prior to touchdown when landing.

32. Ground Effect
The takeoff phase of flight, the aircraft leaving ground effect will:
Require an increase in AOA to maintain the same CL.
Experience an increase in induced drag and thrust required.
Experience a decrease in stability and a nose-up change in moment.
Experience a reduction in static source pressure and increase in indicated airspeed.

33. Ground Effect
A hazardous situation is possible because the recommended takeoff speed may not be achieved.
Due to the reduced drag in ground effect, the aircraft may seem capable of takeoff well below the recommended speed.

34. Ground Effect In extreme conditions, such as high gross weight,
high density altitude,
and high temperature,
a deficiency of airspeed during takeoff
may permit the aircraft to become airborne but be incapable of sustaining flight out of ground effect.

35. Ground Effect
During the landing phase of flight, the aircraft is brought into ground effect with a constant AOA, the aircraft experiences an increase in CL and a reduction in the thrust required, and a “floating” effect may occur.
