  Chapter 17: Transition to Light Sport Airplanes (LSA) › Airframe and Systems › Instrumentation

  Instrumentation In addition to advanced airframe and engine technology, LSAs often have advanced flight and engine instrumentation. Installation of electronic flight instrumentation systems (EFIS) provides attitude, airspeed, altimeter, vertical speed, direction, moving map, navigation, terrain awareness, traffic, weather, engine data…

  less than this does not provide negative lift capability sufficient to damage the aircraft from excessive flight loads. The limit airspeed (or redline speed) is a design reference point for the aircraft—this aircraft is limited ... flight is attempted beyond the limit airspeed, structural damage or structural failure may result from a variety of phenomena. The aircraft in flight is limited to a regime of airspeeds and Gs that do not exceed the limit (or redline…

  occasional.” Risk Severity The following terms describe the severity of an outcome. • Catastrophic–Results in fatalities and/or total airframe loss. • Critical–Severe injury or major airframe or property damage. • Marginal–Minor injury or minor airframe or property damage. • Negligible–Less ... minor injury or damage. To illustrate, consider the example of penetrating a thunderstorm. A loss of control event exceeding airframe structural limits could result in either severe injuries or fatalities and airframe loss, creating either a “critical” or a “catastrophic…

  Subcomponents The subcomponents of an airplane include the airframe, electrical system, flight controls, and brakes. The airframe is the basic structure of an aircraft and is designed to withstand all aerodynamic forces, as well as the stresses imposed…

  each individual aircraft explain the required items for inspection. Each airplane has a set of logbooks that include airframe and engine, and in some cases, propeller and appliance logbooks, which are used to record maintenance, alteration, and inspections performed ... specific airframe, engine, propeller, or appliance. It is important that the logbooks be kept accurate, secure, and available for inspection. Airplane logbooks are not normally kept in the airplane. It should be a matter of procedure by the pilot…

  never exceed speed. Operating above this speed is prohibited since it may result in damage or structural failure. Other Airspeed Limitations Some important airspeed limitations are not marked on the face of the ASI, but are found on placards ... These airspeeds include: Design maneuvering speed (VA)—the maximum speed at which the structural design’s limit load can be imposed (either by gusts or full deflection of the control surfaces) without causing structural damage. It is important to consider…
