When describing retreating blade stall or airflow in forward flight, you will need to mention the three no lift areas. There always exists the potential that he will ask you to name and explain the three no lift areas. If he asks, what will you say? This video explains each of the three no lift areas in detail.
Your check pilot may ask you to explain dissymmetry of lift. You will want to begin with a simple definition, “It is the difference in lift between the advancing and retreating blades.” But what if he wants more? What will you say and how will you explain it? This short video will help you through those steps.
You should have pre-planned answers to each of the major aerodynamic categories listed in the checkride sequence in your Flight Training Guide. You should be able to draw and explain, in detail, each of these aerodynamic concepts. This video will explain the concept of settling with power. For an actual video of an aircraft that is settling with power, go check out the tutorial on the Aviation Trainer web site.
Since all of you have received a basic aerodynamic course, your check pilot will expect you to be able to explain the basic aerodynamic concepts. One of the most basic concepts is understanding an airfoil and total aerodynamic force (TAF). At a bare minimum, you should be able to diagram an airfoil that includes TAF. This video will explain how this is done.
