Very interesting. Thank you. 1st time viewer. New subscriber. Looking for a career 2.0 and have always wanted to fly (fixed wing and multi-engine/IFR and helicopter). Good for you!!!!
One thing I've never understood regarding this subject. It seems like the wing loses strength at lower weights which I can't understand. At higher gross weights, wouldn't the wing be taking the same amount of stress or greater compared to lower weights? So why then can the same amount of relative wind break an airplane at a lower weight, but the same airplane at a higher gross weight would be fine? Again, it seems like the plane is gaining strength the heavier it gets which I can't wrap my head around
At higher weights, the wing is closer to stalling. Therefore, the wing will stall quicker when maneuvered, thus removing the load applied. A stalled wing is not creating lift and therefore not bearing any weight.
Hello, thank you for the video.To confirm my understanding...on cessna's, the positive g design is around 3.8g. So the Va will ensure an AOA of approx 5 degrees?
@@Loves2Flythink about it. What speed could the plane safely fly if it weighed a billion pounds? Would the speed be greater, or less, if the plane weighed 1500 pounds? Angle of attack is immaterial, all that matters is the load on the wing. The accelerometer, or g meter, in the plane does not indicate the load on the wing, if the weight is able to be varied between flights. A billion pound plane would indicate zero g, and yet the wings would be ripped off as it descended. Planes should have strain gauges that indicate whether the wing, etc., are near the overload threshold.
Great video. Thank you so much. It is evident that you put a lot into it.
Very nice and intuitive explanation. Thanks!
Thanks for watching

Thanks Jeff
From south Africa here..... thanks
Thanks for explaining!
Very interesting explanation, very useful !!!
Thank you so much !!
Thanks for the complement. Glad it was helpful
I did like the video and explanation...thank you.
Glad you liked it
This video does not discuss Load Factor and rather Vna...
Love from India ! ♥️
This is perfect explanation thanks.
Glad it was helpful

vey good video but I wish the background music was lowered!
Sorry about the music. Still learning what the best level is for learning and talking, etc. thanks for watching

@@Loves2Fly CAA=20/3.8 (load limit)...I am guessing the speed in the AC for this Va produces this AOA @ the weight
“AGLE of attack” lol
@@Loves2Fly No worries! Just thought it was kind of funny. Good video nonetheless
And V^2 not V2
Is Vna the same as Va?
Why are you suddenly inventing a term called Vna???? (@ 0.07 & @ 4:50)?? There is no such thing - it is called Va - period.
Yes, sorry there is no Vna
Sorry, I will fix it in the next update
Agle of attack. Agle? Agle?
HAHA good catch. My wife is my spell check and she was not there the day I pushed this video.
Crosswind approach and landing techniques
Great idea! Thanks
thanks!
Thanks from your mom's house
Thank you too
All these angles, percentages etc mean nothing and is only clouding the issue to pass the FAA exam
Sorry it wasn’t helpful
Completely consistent with training, and completely wrong.
Could you please elaborate?
Huh?
