Right of way: 2 powered boats: head-on
both boats give way, starboard side
-
Right of way; 2 powered boats: crossing paths
- vessel on operator's left must give way
- vessel on operator's right maintains course
-
Right of way: 2 powered boats: overtaking
Overtaking vessel must give way, pass on either side
-
Right of way: Power vs Sail
Powered vessel always gives way, sailed stands on
-
Right of way: Power vs Sail: Overtaking
Overtaking vessel must always give way, pass on either side
-
-
Right of way: Sail vs Sail
Leeward vessel maintains course
-
Right of way: Sail vs Sail head-on, wind on different sides
Vessel with wind on starboard side is stand-on
-
If operating power-driven vessel, give way to:
- All sailing vessels (unless they're overtaking you)
- Any uncommanded vessel
- Commercial fishing vessels
- Any vessel restricted in maneuvering ability
-
Right of way: Aircraft head-on
Both aircraft give way to the right
-
Right of way: Aircraft in distress
Distress aircraft always has right of way
-
Right of way: Aircraft overtaking
Overtaking craft must pass to the right; stay well clear
-
Right of way: Aircraft converging
Aircraft to your RIGHT has the right of way
-
General rule of Aircraft right of way
Aircraft with least maneuverability has right of way
-
Aircraft right of way: landing
- Aircraft of lower altitude has right of way
- Aircraft on landing approach has right of way over all others in pattern/on the ground
-
Longitudinal Axis
- Along fuselage
- Controls banking left/right
- Lateral Stability
-
Lateral Axis
- Along wings
- Controls pitch up/down
- Longitudinal Stability
-
Longer wings on a plane
Shallow glide angle
-
If wing area is doubled
lift and drag are doubled
-
Taking off: Headwing
- Increased takeoff run
- Increased angle of climb
-
Taking off: Tailwind
- Decreased takeoff run
- Decreased angle of climb
-

-
Ship Terminology: Keel
- Principle structure of ship
- Runs at the bottom-center from bow to stern
- All structures connected to keel
-
 Lubber's Line
- On a compass: tells you what direction your ship is headed in vs. north
- (Think of tank in BF3)
-
Course Line
A line on a chart going in the direction of wherhe the ship is headed
-
Humid air is _____ than dry air
lighter
-
Leading into the wind
reduces ground speed
-
Plane most likely to stall in
- Banked turns of great degree
- High angle of attack
-
Swept wing position
Decreased drag at high speed
-
Extended wing position
- Decreased ground speed during landing
- Increased lift at slow speeds
-

Camber
Curvature of top of wing/airfoil
-
Angle of Attack
angle formed by chordline and oncoming airflow
-
Aspect Ratio (Aircraft)
Wingspan : Wing Width
-
Aspect Ratio Calculation
- b^2 / s
- b: wingspan
- s: surface area of wing
-
High aspect ratio
Long, skinny wings
-
Low aspect ratio
Short, stubby wings
-
Wingload
- Wing surface area:Aircraft weight
- (Ratio)
-
Fly By Wire
Pilot controls plane via electronics as opposed to mechanics
-
Autorotation
Used by helicopter pilots to make emergency landings when engine power is lost
-
Variation
Difference between true bearing and magnetic bearing
-
Sonic Booms are caused by
abrupt change in pressure across shock wave
