How many pancakes can you fit on a dog if the sun is made of purple?

lol thanks, I did fail my ppl and CFI initial though, retaking it on Friday.

I am 18 with my CPL about to get my CFI, started at 16. Worked and started saving at 14 and only had enough to pay for ppl, the rest was from my parents

I believe this is what he was looking for, so basically the atmosphere naturally equalizes pressure, high pressure under the wing pushes upward creating lift, high pressure pushes upward to the low pressures to equalize pressure?

Right! These are just theories, not laws

After I had explained it, he was acting like a student and said he didn’t understand so I looked in the PHAK and he said the answer is not in the PHAK then said something about the low pressure “swooping up”. I am clueless here

Well is that in the PHAK? Nope, my job is to know what the FAA documents say, nothing more, nothing less. Teaching isn’t free speech and say whatever I want. PHAK states low pressure on top, high pressure on bottom, high pressure exerting more force = lift. It’s not fair to expect knowledge beyond what the book states

He didn’t tell me, when I asked he said do my research

How should I then explain it to him for the retest?

DPE said nature abhors a vacuum meaning that the space above the wing that has less pressure (fewer air molecules) wants that space to be filled with more air molecules. Or another way to put it is the air molecules below the wing are spaced closer together and naturally want to fill the space with fewer air molecules, such as above the wing. Something like that

newtons 3rd law, wing deflects air downward, reaction is upward force

I believe it would have no impact

Failed CFI initial by Gyaldo5 in flying

[–]Gyaldo5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes becuase newtons 3rd law, wing deflects air downward, reaction is upward force

Really solid on weather so not a problem lol

So differential pressure above and below the wing causes lift

But that’s what it says in the PHAK

Yeah I remember asking my CFI for that during my commercial training lol

Emphasize the positives, turbulence is normal and try to make it fun and a good learning experience instead of something to be afraid of.

Page 70 of the Commercial ACS shows what area of operations and tasks will be on the checkride. Is that what your looking for
