99 - EASA PPL(A) Theory Exam Questions in English - In a steady coordinated level turn, how must lift be arranged to maintain altitude and turn?

Question 99 - Principles of Flight (Aeroplane) - EASA PPL(A) - Private Pilot Licence (Aeroplane)

Total lift increases: its vertical component balances weight and its horizontal component supplies the centripetal force.

The net force results from superposition of gravity and centripetal forces

The horizontal component of the lift force during a turn is the centrifugal force

A lower lift force compensates for a lower net force as compared to level flight
