Title: Calculate turbulent air penetration.
Course: Aircraft Pilot Training II (20053-II) > Section: Understanding Aircraft Performance

Calculation should include the following:

- Each aircraft is designed with a specific G loading that can be imposed on the aircraft without causing structural damage.
- There are two types of load factors factored into aircraft design—limit load and ultimate load. The limit load is a force applied to an aircraft that causes a bending of the aircraft structure that does not return to the original shape. The ultimate load is the load factor applied to the aircraft beyond the limit load and at which point the aircraft material experiences structural failure (breakage).
