Could be that all fuels were mixed together. Could be water sediment at the bottom of the tank. Some how could be jet fuel added into tank. Drain clear liquid before flying.

Lift and how it's created

Created by an airfoil flying through the air. Lift is based off of Bernouli's priciple and Newton's 3rd law. Air flowing over the top of the wing is moving faster and at a lower pressure vs bottom of the wing is at a higher pressure and lower speed. Combining in Newton's 3rd law, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, the wing generates lift.

When is a flight review required?

It is required for every pilot every 24 CM, expect for those that have passed a portion of the wings programs.

Understand and explain Ground Effect

Lift always point perpendicular to relative wind In ground effect, less downwash so more vertical lift *Less induced drag in ground effect.

Lift and how it's changed

Lift can be changed by increasing the aircraft's AOA which will create a greater downward deflection of air particles. Thrust can be increased, which will increase the airspeed over the top of the wing creating an even lower pressure. Increase wing surface area - deploy flaps

Understand and explain turning tendencies.

P-Factor - the propeller is an airfoil, and the downward swinging blade in a climb is a higher angle of attach to relative wind, therefor putting out more thrust than the left side of the aircraft. Torque - the prop is rotating clockwise, the reaction is turning the aircraft to the left. Slipstream - clockwise rotating air pass around the fuselage hitting the vertical stabilizer causing the plane to yaw to the left. Gyroscopic Procession - Left turning, input is felt 90* ahead of actual input. (Prevalent in tail daggers.)

Factors Affecting Stalls / Stall Speed

Weight, CG, Configuration, Power setting Stall speed increases as weight increases. With an increase in weight the aircraft will require more lift, which will in turn increase the stall speed.

Stalls - What occurs, when it occurs, where it occurs, and how it occurs

What: The airfoil is no longer generating enough lift to sustain flight. When: 17*/ Critical angle of attack is passed How: The air over the airfoil is no longer rejoined at the trailing edge, and turbulent eddies are formed Inner part of the wing stalls first due to washout - higher AOA
