Which of the following would NOT increase the load factor an aircraft experiences?

  • A.Encountering a strong upward gust
  • B.Rolling out of a turn to wings level
  • C.Increasing the bank angle in a level turn
  • D.Pulling back abruptly on the elevator

Answer: B

Correct answer: Rolling out of a turn to wings level

Rolling out reduces the bank angle, so \( n = 1/\cos\phi \) falls back towards 1 - the load factor decreases. A gust, a steeper bank and an abrupt elevator pull all raise it, the last being the case that VA exists to protect against.
