>>1666159>NEVER? You're saying it's practically impossible to perform an elementary banked turn while maintaining altitude?if you watch an aircraft filmed through a long-focus lens, you will see that it is in a constant state of oscillation; so yes, on some infinitesimal level, it is practically impossible to maintain altitude. (I'm not talking about the 100' ACS standards.)
anyway, the phrase "while maintaining altitude" triggers me. You can apply ACS standards after they understand intuitively the phugoid oscillations, which they cannot do if they are also being forced to maintain altitude, talk on the radio and give you a handjob.
>Long-period (phugoid) oscillations are virtually constant-AOA. As the airplane pitches up and down, load factor and airspeed both vary in-phase together, so you aren't actually any closer to stalling as the load factor increases. This is true even when the airplane is banked.Well, what I was trying to say was muddled, and I realize that now.
What I'm saying is that, if they don't have an intuitive understanding of dynamic stability on a longitudinally-stable aircraft, then they will tend to correct the pitch attitude and make abrupt AoA changes.
>the relationship between elevator deflection and AOAElevator deflection is not a useful metric. AoA does not generally relate to elevator deflection. Consider any ballistic maneuver, which can be performed quickly enough that the rotational moment of the aircraft prohibits constant AoA.
>Is that your issue? That I didn't provide the load factor?Your explanation is both too theoretical and too simplistic to be of interest. An actual 45 degree banked turn and record your g-loading using your phone's accelerometer. You will notice some deviations from the ideal -- maybe you did not account for the change in gyroscopic forces when you increased power, maybe your foot got tired. That stuff can also be explained mathematically. (1/2)
