Weight (W)
NOTE: In a banked turn, our force for weight is constant, but our force for lift is lost due to the reduction of effective wing span. Therefore, to maintain a steady altitude in the turn, the forces acting for lift must be restored by increasing speed and/ or the angle of attack (we cover angle of attack later) www.aviationsimulationservices.co.uk
Example: A Boeing 737 airliner is descending from 35,000ft to 27,000ft to avoid rough weather conditions. The aircraft is descending at a rate of descent of 1,000fpm (feet per minute). Therefore we can can deduce it will take 8 minutes to descend in this scenario.
