T.O. GR1F16CJ11 Change 7A15 AVAILABLE LOAD FACTOR Load factors available with the LG handle in UP and the STORES CONFIG switch in CAT I or CAT III are presented in figure A18. The load factor data is pre sented as a function of altitude, mach, and GW and is valid for all temperatures, throttle settings, and DI. The load factor value obtained from this chart is based solely on the aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft. Sustained load factor capabilities are pre sented in Part 8. REFER TO FIGURE A18. Determine either CAT I or CAT III loading. Enter Available Load Factor chart with mach (A). Proceed vertically to altitude (B) and then horizontally left to the GW baseline and parallel guidelines to GW (C). Finally, proceed left to read available load factor (D). SAMPLE PROBLEMS (CAT I). A. Mach = 0.6 B. Altitude = 20,000 feet KCAS = 275 C. GW = 23,000 pounds D. Available load factor = 4.7g A. Mach = 1.4 B. Altitude = 10,000 feet KCAS = 794 (obtained from figure A13) C. GW = 28,000 pounds D. Available load factor = 9.0g SAMPLE PROBLEMS (CAT III). A. Mach = 1.6 B. Altitude = 35,000 feet KCAS = 584 C. GW = 33,000 pounds D. Available load factor = 5.5g A. Mach = 0.5 B. Altitude = 30,000 feet KCAS = 184 C. GW = 28,000 pounds D. Available load factor = 1.3g A. Mach = 0.8 B. Altitude = Sea level KCAS = 529 (obtained from figure A13) C. GW = 28,000 pounds D. Available load factor = 9.0g TURN CONVERSION Figure A19 is provided as an aid for conversion between load factor, turn rate, turn radius, KTAS, and bank angle. GROUND VEHICLE FRICTION READ INGTORCR CONVERSION Figure A110 is provided as an aid for conversion between ground vehicle friction reading and RCR/ braking action level. |
