11-1 IntroductionA high-performance airplane is defined as an airplane with an engine capable of developing more than 200 horsepower. A Complex airplane is an airplane that has a retractable landing gear, flaps, and a controllable pitch propeller. In lieu of a controllable pitch propeller, the aircraft could also have an engine control system consisting of a digital computer and associated accessories for controlling the engine and the propeller. A seaplane would still be considered Complex if it meets the description above except for having floats instead of a retractable landing gear to Complex Airplanes Chapter 1111-2 Figure 11-2.
Lift is a function of several variables including air density, velocity, surface area, and lift coefficient. ... surfaces—ailerons, rudder, and elevator. The split flap is more complex. It is the lower or underside portion of the wing; deflection of the flap leaves the upper trailing edge ... This procedure facilitates a more stabilized approach.
