AIRPLANES
2
FUSELAGE

• HOUSES THE CABIN OR COCKPIT
• SERVES AS THE ATTACHMENT POINT FOR OTHER MAJOR
  AIRPLANE COMPONENTS

4
WINGS

• MAY ATTACH AT A FEW POINTS ON THE FUSELAGE
• TOP
• MIDDLE
• LOWER

5

6
WINGS

• CONTOURED TO TAKE MAXIMUM ADVANTAGE OF LIFTING
  FORCE CREATED BY PASSING AIRFLOW

7
(No Transcript)
8
MONOPLANE

• AIRCRAFT WITH A SINGLE SET OF WINGS

9
BI-PLANE

• AIRCRAFT WITH TWO SEPARATE SETS OF WINGS

10
AILERONS

• EXTEND OUTWARD
• Control roll of the airplane

11
(No Transcript)
12
FLAPS

• EXTEND OUTWARD FROM ABOUT THE MIDPOINT OF EACH
  WING
• NORMALLY FLUSH WITH THE WINGS SURFACE DURING
  CRUISE
• MOVE DOWNWARD TO INCREASE LIFTING FORCE

14
EMPENNAGE

• CONSISTS OF
• VERTICAL STABILIZER
• HORIZONTAL STABILIZER

15
EMPENNAGE

• ACT TO STEADY THE AIRPLANE AND MAINTAIN A
  STRAIGHT PATH THROUGH THE AIR

16
VERTICAL HORIZONTALSTABILIZERS

• ACT LIKE FEATHERS ON AN ARROW TO STEADY THE
  AIRPLANE AND HELP YOU MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT PATH
  THROUGH THE AIR

17

18
RUDDER

• ATTACHED TO THE BACK OF THE VERTICAL STABILIZER
• USED TO MOVE THE NOSE OF THE AIRPLANE LEFT AND
  RIGHT
• MUCH LIKE THE RUDDER ON A BOAT
• Control Yaw

19
ELEVATOR

• ATTACHED TO THE HORIZONTAL STABILIZER
• USED TO MOVE THE NOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT UP AND DOWN
  (pitch)

20
STABILATOR

• A ONE-PIECE HORIZONTAL STABILIZER
• USED IN LIEU OF AN ELEVATOR.
• STABILATOR PIVOTS AT A CENTRAL HINGE POINT

21

22
TRIM TAB

• SMALL HINGED TRIM DEVICE ATTACHED TO THE TRAILING
  EDGE OF A CONTROL SURFACE
• HELP MINIMIZE THE PILOTS WORKLOAD

23
ANTI-SERVO TAB

• PROVIDES THE PILOT WITH CONTROL FEEL
• ALSO FUNCTIONS AS A TRIM TAB

24
(No Transcript)
25
TRIM DEVICES

• HELPS TO MINIMIZE YOUR WORKLOAD
• AERODYNAMICALLY HELPS YOU MOVE CONTROL SURFACES
  AND MAINTAIN DESIRED POSITION

26
LANDING GEAR

• CONVENTIONAL
• WHEN A WHEEL IS MOUNTED ON THE END OF THE TAIL
• TAIL DRAGGER

27
LANDING GEAR

• TRICYCLE GEAR
• THE THIRD WHEEL IS MOUNTED ON THE NOSE OF THE
  AIRCRAFT

28
(No Transcript)
29
LANDING GEAR

• FIXED- LANDING GEAR ARE ATTACHED IN THE DOWN
  POSITION ONLY
• RETRACTABLE LANDING GEAR CAN RETRACTED UP INTO
  THE AIRCRAFT FOR BETTER AERODYNAMICS

30
OLEO STRUTS

• AIR OIL SHOCK ABSORBER WHICH IS USUALLY
  INCLUDED AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE WHEEL
  ASSEMBLY
• PISTON ENCLOSED IN A CYLINDER WITH OIL AND
  COMPRESSED AIR TO ABSORB THE BUMPS AND JOLTS
  ENCOUNTERED DURING LANDING AND TAXI OPERATIONS

31

32
BRAKES

• BRAKE PRESSURE MAY BE APPLIED EQUALLY OR VARY BY
  DEGREES BY PRESSING ON THE TOP OF EACH RUDDER
  PEDAL
• DIFFERENTIAL BRAKING- EACH PEDAL IS CONNECTED
  ONLY TO ITS RESPECTIVE BRAKE

35
POWERPLANT

• THE ENGINE WORKS TO
• TURN THE PROPELLER
• GENERATE ELECTRICAL ENERGY
• CREATES VACUUM SOURCE FOR FLIGHT INSTRUMENT
• FOR MOST AIRCRAFT SOURCE OF HEAT

36
(No Transcript)
37
FIREWALL

• THE FIREWALL SEPERATES THE OCCUPANTS OF THE
  AIRCRAFT FROM THE ENGINE

38
(No Transcript)
39
PROPELLER

• TRANSLATES THE ROTATING FORCE OF THE ENGINE INTO
  FORWARD ACTING FORCE CALLED THRUST

40

41
POH

• PILOT OPERATING HANDBOOK
• MOST OF THE PERTINENT INFORMATION ABOUT A
  PARTICULAR MAKE AND MODEL AIRCRAFT INCLUDING
• OPERATING LIMITS
• PERFORMANCE
• CAN BE FOUND IN THIS BOOK
• EACH AIRCRAFT HAS ITS OWN SPECIFIC POH

42
AFM

• AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL
• SPECIFICALLY ASSIGNED TO EACH INDIVIDUAL AIRCRAFT
• USUALLY THE POH TAKES THE PLACE OF A AFM IN
  SMALLER AIRCRAFT

43
PIM

• PILOT INFORMATION MANUAL
• CONTAINS SAME INFORMATION AS POH AND AFM
• MORE PRECISE WEIGHT AND BALANCE DATA AND OPTIONAL
  EQUIPMENT SPECIFIC TO A PARTICULAR AIRPLANE
