3. Warm-Up – 2/16 – 10 minutes
Utilizing your notes and past knowledge answer the following questions:
Define the Rate of Turn.
Define Radius of Turn.
What are the principal reasons an aircraft is certificated for weight and balance?
What are the concerns that a heavier gross weight can have on an aircraft?

4. Load Factors and Flight Maneuvers
Rate of Turn
The rate of turn (ROT) is the number of degrees (expressed in degrees per second) of heading change that an aircraft makes.

5. Warm-Up – 2/16 – 10 minutes
Utilizing your notes and past knowledge answer the following questions:
Define the Rate of Turn.
Define Radius of Turn.
What are the principal reasons an aircraft is certificated for weight and balance?
What are the concerns that a heavier gross weight can have on an aircraft?
What can habitual overloading of an aircraft cause?

6. Load Factors and Flight Maneuvers
Radius of Turn
If the bank angle is held constant and the airspeed is increased, the radius of the turn changes (increases).
A higher airspeed causes the aircraft to travel through a longer arc due to a greater speed.

7. Warm-Up – 2/16 – 10 minutes
Utilizing your notes and past knowledge answer the following questions:
Define the Rate of Turn.
Define Radius of Turn.
What are the principal reasons an aircraft is certificated for weight and balance?
What are the concerns that a heavier gross weight can have on an aircraft?
What can habitual overloading of an aircraft cause?

8. Weight and Balance
Aircraft are certificated for weight and balance for two principal reasons:
1. The effect of the weight on the aircraft’s primary structure and its performance characteristics.
2. The effect of the location of this weight on flight characteristics, particularly in stall and spin recovery and stability.

9. Warm-Up – 2/16 – 10 minutes
Utilizing your notes and past knowledge answer the following questions:
Define the Rate of Turn.
Define Radius of Turn.
What are the principal reasons an aircraft is certificated for weight and balance?
What are the concerns that a heavier gross weight can have on an aircraft?
What can habitual overloading of an aircraft cause?

10. Effect of Weight on Flight Performance
A heavier gross weight results in a longer takeoff run and shallower climb, and a faster touchdown speed and longer landing roll.

11. Warm-Up – 2/16 – 10 minutes
Utilizing your notes and past knowledge answer the following questions:
Define the Rate of Turn.
Define Radius of Turn.
What are the principal reasons an aircraft is certificated for weight and balance?
What are the concerns that a heavier gross weight can have on an aircraft?
What can result from overloading of an aircraft which may be difficult to detect?

12. Effect of Weight on Aircraft Structure
Structural failures which result from overloading may be dramatic and catastrophic, but more often they affect structural components progressively in a manner that is difficult to detect and expensive to repair.
