Indicated airspeed

ASCI 310: Aircraft Performance Research Project Objectives One of the requirements for this course is an Aircraft Performance Research Project that entails planning a flight from Denver International Airport (KDEN) to Chicago O'Hare International Airport (KORD) for a given aircraft, weather conditions, and assumptions. The objective is to apply what has been learned throughout this course. Drawing on aeronautics theory and using the performance charts and equations presented in the course, each

Integrated Project: Here and Back Again and What Occurred After Jimmy Jackson Jr. awoke to the smell of danger. It is a strange smell, yet distinct, a little bit of fear mixed with a little bit of duty. Nonetheless, it awoke him from his 1969 suburbs home, where he groggily got up to reach for his long-range Taser that he left by his bedside. You see, Jimmy Jackson Jr. was brilliant, no one knows where he came from, and all they know is that he was brilliant. Anyways, back to the story, his house

Robert M. Carton Principles of Accident Causation March 12, 2017 APT #10  1. How do airspeed indicators and altimeters work? Both airspeed indicators and altimeters are relatively similar to one another. The airspeed indicator utilizes and receives data from the pitot tube and the static port on an aircraft. In short the air pressure is collected by the pitot tube is compared to the static air pressure to give the pilot an accurate indication of how fast the aircraft is moving. The pitot

Air France Flight 447 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to Paris, France Incident Summary The following information is based on the findings of the BEA (Bureau d’Enquêtes et d’Analyses) (2012); On May 31, 2009, Air France flight 447, an Airbus A330, took off from Rio de Janeiro enroute to Paris, France. After a normal departure the crew climbed to their cruising altitude of FL350. The captain was designated as the pilot monitoring (not flying) and the first officer was the pilot flying. About 3 hours into

a fighter jet all this knowledge will come into your mind every time you go to fly or fly your missions. When you are flying a fighter jet in the Navy there are certain aspects that you should be aware of. For example fighter jets can “stall” or in other words the engine could stop running. “A stall occur at the angle of attack, at which point the airflow over the wing becomes chaotic and the wings can no longer produce sufficient lift to counteract weight”. As the airfoil approaches the stalling

Pilots and non pilots. We will explore three different aviation accidents that could have been prevented if the aircraft was maintained properly. And why pilots should make sure to do a thorough walk around of their aircraft. This is not to say that faulty maintenance was the cause of each of these accidents. There was pilot error reported in these accident investigations. First, lets discuss the Birgenair flight ALW-301. Birgenair Flight ALW-301, was a flight from Gregario Luperon International

takeoff because it has a length of 12000 feet, which is longer. SECTION 2: Climb Questions (Long Range Climb to FL350) Hint. Remember, the aircraft is taking off at a higher pressure altitude! 2.1. (1.5 pts) Find Climb Schedule (Airspeed/Mach to be flown in the Climb). Using Figure 11-54, the Climb Schedule is 1) 250 KIAS below 10000 fts 2) 290 KIAS above 10000 fts to 26860 fts 3) 0.72 Mach above 26860 fts to 35000 fts 2.2. (1.5 pts) Find Time to Climb (min).

Abstract: Throughout history, human beings have been astonished by the concept of flight. In the modern world, planes, helicopters and other aircrafts have been engineered to fulfil this perception, allowing people to travel around the world in easy. However, just like cars and trains, planes are also prone to accidents influenced by bad weather conditions. The information below describes how a thunderstorm and wind shear affected Delta fight 191 in 1985. Which will provide the physics behind the

the inability of the crew to maintain their situational awareness during the approach. The crew became so task saturated in the approach glide path that they ignored the throttle settings until it was too late to recover. Failure to monitor their airspeed, while focusing on the approach path contributed as well. Fatigue of the crew, and mismanagement of their afforded rest periods also contributed to the incident. The most rested member in the flight station was the pilot monitoring with 3 hours

Chapter 1 – Principles of Flight Section A: Airplanes A. Major Components (or Sections) of an Airplane 1. Fuselage a. This is the body of the airplane generally from nose to tail. b. It consists of the main airplane structure like frames, stringers, longerons, keel beam and skin. 2. Wings a. This is the component or section of the airplane that is responsible for aerodynamic lift. b. Lift is the force that raises the airplane up. 3. Empennage
