3.3 PRACTICE BEST GLIDE SPEED
As mentioned earlier, the AOA may be used for identifying aircraft
performance based on a fixed AOA or a constant C L . For this
discussion C L /C D Maximum indication will be identified. This is the
maximum lift-to-drag ratio at which maximum range and maximum
glide distance will be found for propeller airplanes.
To find the AOA for best glide, calculate an indicated airspeed
considering:
•
Actual gross weight.
• Pressure altitude, at the demonstration altitude.
• Temperature, at the demonstration altitude.
• Correct CAS for installation errors to arrive at IAS.
Establish Segments Illuminated
As before, to familiarize you with the KLR 10 AOA indications for
C
L
/C
D
Maximum, use the following outline as a guide:
• Plan a flight to an area where the desired maneuvers may be
performed without any undue hazards.
• Acquaint yourself with the KLR 10 display AOA indicator.
• Preflight and operate the aircraft as you would normally.
• When in the area, perform clearing turns to ensure the area is
clear.
• Maintain coordination.
• Maintain altitude.
• Use power to slow and maintain best glide speed.
• Observe the KLR 10 display AOA indication; this is C L /C D
Maximum.
• Return to normal flight.
• Using the abbreviations from Table 2-2 on page 2-4, write down
the illuminated segments in the space provided below and in the
Table 3-1: Observed Indications Chart on page 3-17.
