The leans Sudden return to level flight after a long, gradual and unnoticed turn The feeling that the airplane is banking in the opposite direction when in straight and leven flight Coriolis illusion When a pilot is in a long turn and turns his head, leading his ear fluid to flow into a different canal Feeling that the airplane is performing a maneuver it isn't; avoid by not moving your head too much when you fly Graveyard Spiral When a pilot is in a prolonged, constant rate turn, he feels...

Three ways that gun ammunition can be assembled. Fixed, Separate, and Separate Loading. Two major categories of ammunition. Service and Non Service. Ammunition Lot Number A quantity of ammunition assembled from uniform components under similar conditions. Each Ammunition Lot is assigned a code number that identifies all ammunition as part of that lot. How are CADs actuated (fired)? Percussion, Electrically or sympathetically. Shelf Life An established amount of time beginning from date...

What is matter? Matter is what all things are made of. It's the foundation for any discussion of physics What is the Law of Conservation? Matter can not be created or destroyed but it is possible to change it's physical state What's an example of the law of conservation? the combustion process of liquid fuel or water from solid to liquid to vapor among others How is mass mathematically stated? Mass=Weight divided by Acceleration due to gravity How is weight mathematically stated? Weigh...

fuselage the central body of an airplane that is designed to accommodate the crew and passengers (or cargo) flaps a movable airfoil that is part of an aircraft wing, used to increase lift slats protrusions from the leading edge of a wing that, when combined with the flaps, result in a significant increase in lift spoiler a hinged airfoil on the upper surface of an aircraft wing that is raised to reduce lift and increase drag (commonly used when landing) Air traffic control What is ATC? e...

Newton's 3rd Law For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction Thrust the pushing or pulling force exerted by the engine of an aircraft or rocket Inertia The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion Momentum The product of an object's mass and velocity
