12.66.2

Define centripetal force.

12.66.4

Explain the components of lift which provide the:

(a) turning force;

(b) force required opposing weight.

12.66.6

Define load factor “g”.

12.66.8

In a level turn, state the relationship between bank angle and lift, drag, and load factor.

12.66.10

State the relationship between the turn radius and rate of turn at a given;

(a) airspeed;

(b) bank angle.

12.66.12

Describe a rate 1 turn, and a rule-of-thumb method of calculating the bank angle required.

12.66.14

Explain the effect of bank on rate of climb in a climbing turn, and the tendency to “overbank”.
