Turns
horizontal lift component
the sideward force that causes an aircraft to turn...
...directly affects the rate of turn at any airspeed
the vertical component affects the altitude of the airplane
centrifugal force acts opposite the horizontal lift component
skidding turn
an excess of centrifugal force over the horizontal lift component
- pulls the aircraft toward the outside of the turn
- increases the load factor.
when horizontal lift and centrifugal force are equal the turn is coordinated
slipping turn
when the centrifugal force is less than horizontal lift
- load factor is decreased
