Loop A maneuver in which an aircraft flys in a vertical circle.
Magnetic Heading The direction an aircraft faces as indicated by a magnetic compass.
Marker Beacon ...
Loop A vertical circle in the air. The plane noses up, keeps rotating until it's on its back, and then comes down and around to describe a vertical circle in the air.
LOOP ANTENNA - A circular radio antenna, either in the open or in a streamlined, teardrop housing, remotely turned 360° to fine-tune a station in league with other radio-directive devices. See also RADIO COMPASS, RADIO DIRECTION FINDER.
Loop Aerial: A radio aerial consisting of one or more turns of a conductor, either self-supporting or in a protective covering. Loop aerials are mounted on the fuselage and may be of three types. (1) The fixed-loop aerial.
Ground Loop
A rapid circular rotation of a model on the ground, usually performed while taxying or during take off. Taildragger aircraft are particulalrly suceptible to this as they are sensitive to crosswinds.
Gusset ...
GROUND LOOP - Usually defined as a rapid rotation of a fixed-wing aircraft in the horizontal plane while on the ground.
The loop antenna can sense the direction of the signal from the station, but cannot discriminate whether the station is in front or behind the aircraft. The sense antenna can discriminate direction, and solves the ambiguity of the loop antenna.
In an aerobatic loop, you are pulling about 4 Gs at the bottom, so the stalling speed is about twice what it would be in ordinary unaccelerated flight.
Ground loop: Loss of lateral control or purposefully braking one wheel to turn sharply while on the ground.
Ground pounder: Ground Crewman
Group: Three or four Squadrons, usually 48 aircraft.
Will the airplane willfully ground loop the instant it is untied? Can only super-beings fly airplanes so equipped? What a crock! ...
During a normal loop a pilot experiences positive g, tending to force him down in his seat. In an outside loop, with the pilot's head on the outside of the vertical circle, negative g forces him up against his straps.
The no-flow system pressurizes the loop via small scoops at the tip of the lift fan. The size of the scoop is about 10% of the total lift fan area.
A simulator designed to test avionics algorithms with a pilot in the loop, consisting of a simulated cockpit, an aircraft model, sensor models, and algorithms to be tested; rtes is often used during development to check algorithms, ...
There is also a procedure known as an "orbit", where an aircraft flies a 360° loop either clockwise or anticlockwise. This is usually to allow greater separation with other traffic ahead in the pattern.
Insurance costs will be slightly higher for the four-seat Cherokee than for the two-seat Cessna, and definitely higher for the ground-loop-prone Cessna 140 taildragger.
I remember having the time of my life discovering that with wings you can not only soar, but you can loop, roll and flip. The mighty forces of gravity just look up at you and nod, as if saying, "You go girl." Now that's flying! ...
Land as short as possible, ground loop if required
Evacuate, secure aircraft, attend to injuries, obtain help
Practice this often as one fine day you might need it and its best to be proficient and mentally ready.
Mount the battery using hook and loop fasteners to allow for quick mounting and removal. Most electric-powered planes do not use an "On/Off" switch to reduce weight.
Tips & Warnings ...
Some piston helicopters have a correlation system which is a mechanical way of adjusting power output as the collective is raised and lowered. A governor, on the other hand, uses a closed loop system to sense the RPM and adjust the fuel control to ...
Computer Cycle: In a periodic, cyclical computer system, the most basic, fastest timing loop.
A device that records the sounds audible in the cockpit, as well as all radio transmissions made and received by the aircraft, and all intercom and public address announcements made in the aircraft. It generally is a continuous loop recorder that ...
If you have excess coax do not double it up in the harness with tight bends at the ends. Make a loop if at all possible. Over long periods of time, the center conductor can "migrate" to the inside of a sharp bend and short to the shield.
In other words, you shouldn’t be half way through a loop when the airplane stalls during departure stall practice.
