DEFINITION<br />

AEROBATICS<br />

LOOP<br />

A loop is the ultimate further effect of the elevator whereby the aeroplane is flown through 360˚ in the<br />

vertical plane, without change in direction.<br />

WHAT THE INSTRUCTOR IS TO TEACH<br />

i. Discuss the aerodynamic principles involved.<br />

ii. The air exercise briefing:<br />

a. Applicable <strong>Procedures</strong> and Check lists.<br />

b. Aeroplane handling techniques:- Demonstration and Observation.<br />

c. Consideration of airmanship and engine handling.<br />

d. De-briefing after flight.<br />

WHY IT IS BEING TAUGHT<br />

So that the student fully understands the principles involved, thereby enabling correct execution of the<br />

manoeuvre in the air.<br />

HOW THE EXERCISE APPLIES TO FLYING<br />

i. It accustoms the student to abnormal loadings on his body.<br />

ii. It is a confidence building manoeuvre.<br />

2. PRINCIPLES INVOLVED<br />

1. NEWTON’S LAWS<br />

2. CENTRIPETAL FORCE<br />

3. LOAD FACTORS AND STALLING SPEED<br />

4. SPEED<br />

i. Why a high speed is necessary for the manoeuvre<br />

5. DIVE AND POWER REQUIRED<br />

6. LOOP PROPPER<br />

i. What happens to speed, load factor and stalling speed during the manoeuvre.<br />
