  Chapter 16: Transition to Jet-Powered Airplanes › Jet Airplane Takeoff and Climb › Initial Climb

  making a power reduction, the pilot should reduce the pitch attitude simultaneously if needed and monitor the airplane airspeed and rate of climb so as to preclude an inadvertent reduction in desired performance or a descent. Speed is limited ... otherwise authorized by the Administrator (14 CFR part 91, section 91.117(a)). At or above that altitude, the best rate of climb speed is published in the AFM. If asked to increase rate of climb, increasing pitch slightly will have…

  Chapter 13: Transition to Multiengine Airplanes › Normal and Crosswind Takeoff and Climb

  Most airliners and most turbine-powered airplanes climb out at an attitude that yields best rate of climb (VY) usually utilizing a flight management system (FMS). When to raise the landing gear after takeoff depends on several factors. Normally ... gear should be retracted when there is insufficient runway available for landing and after a positive rate of climb is established as indicated on the altimeter. If an excessive amount of runway is available, it would not be prudent…

  Chapter 3: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Climbs and Climbing Turns

  Normal climb speed is generally higher than the airplane’s best rate of climb. The additional airspeed provides for better engine cooling, greater control authority, and better visibility over the nose of the airplane. Normal climb is sometimes referred ... cruise climb. ⦁ Best rate of climb (VY)—produces the most altitude gained over a given amount of time. This airspeed is typically used when initially departing a runway without obstructions until it is safe to transition to a normal…

  Chapter 16: Transition to Jet-Powered Airplanes › Jet Engine Landing › Approach Speed

  There are strong relationships between trim, speed, and power in most jet airplanes, and it is important to stabilize the speed in order to minimize those other variables. ⦁ The optimum descent rate is dependent upon ground speed. A rule ... thumb is to multiply half of ground speed by 10. For example, a 130-knot ground speed should result in a (65 times 10) 650 feet per minute descent rate. Typical descent rates fall between 500 and 700 feet…

  Once the airplane accelerates to an airspeed in which the PS > 0, it can begin to climb again. The above recovery scenario is shown in the energy map Figure 4-16, which illustrates the important role of the elevator ... assisting the pilot to recover from unintentional and dangerous deceleration and/or sink rate (refer to Additional Role for the Elevator section). The airplane needs to gain speed at the expense of some altitude, moving from point 3 where…

  Chapter 16: Transition to Jet-Powered Airplanes › Jet Engine Landing › Landing Speeds

  Landing Speeds As in the takeoff planning, there are certain speeds that should be taken into consideration when landing a jet airplane. The speeds are as follows: ⦁ VSO —stall speed in the landing configuration. ⦁ VREF —1.3 times the stall speed ... landing configuration. ⦁ Approach climb—the speed that guarantees adequate performance in a go-around situation with an inoperative engine. ⦁ Landing climb—the speed that guarantees adequate performance in arresting the descent and making a go-around from the final stages…
