please, how does an aircraft react to the loss of weight due to fuel consumption? I assume that, in the first place, the "angle of incidence" is chosen so that the airplane, with half of its fuel weight gone, flies at an optimal condition, i.e. with an angle of incidence = 0 (in mid-flight), using just the airfoils lift due to its profile and its "angle of attack", without using flaps, slats or any other control surface. but what does it do in the non-optimal states of a) full fuel weight and b) fuel weight down to reserve? in a) it may fly at an increased pitch angle to the flight path or it may use slats and/or flaps (?) and in b) it may compensate for a surplus of lift (with speed constant) by using the flaps in an upward bent position (?) or by flying with a negative pitch angle (or reducing speed)... what's the case in reality please? thank you!
What a great explanation for even someone who's a non-pilot!
Awesome! Check out my other videos as well!
@@JxJAVIATION Definitely, as an aviation enthusiasts, you explain it so well!!! Thank you!
at 1:57, that is the FLAPS lever, not the speed brake lever...
Oops. My bad!
Exactly!
Great usage of pictures and animation, made it easily understandable. Thanks!
Thank you!! Please do check out my other videos as well!
Very Nice explanation.
Thank you!! Please do check out my other videos as well!

Nice and to the point explanation!
Thank you! Do check out my other videos as well!
Always pleasure watching your videos to enhance or refresh my knowledge.
A small correction, the pointed lever is for flaps not for speed brakes. :)
Thank you for bringing it out! :) Keep watching!
@@JxJAVIATION Definitely! Keep posting! Even experienced pilots learn a lot!! Thank you.
@@argydimitrelis611 Thank you and Welcome!
Very well explained... Thanks to you for your video.
You are most welcome
when deploying spoilers does it increase angle of attack?
There wont be a drastic change in the AoA
Don't they effect the lateral angle?
Lateral angle is usually for stability!
understandable explanation. 👌❤️❤️
Thank you!
Ready for 10k
Yes. Thanks to support from people like you, who keep me going! :)
Thanks a lot
You are Welcome!
what is a roll maneuver
refers to banking towards right or left
Knowledgeable
Cool!
