marked on the face of the ASI, but are found on placards and in the AFM/ POH. These airspeeds include: Design maneuvering speed (VA)—the maximum speed at which the structural design’s limit load can be imposed (either ... which an aircraft can be safely flown with the landing gear extended. • Best angle-of-climb speed (VX)—the airspeed at which an aircraft gains the greatest amount of altitude in a given distance. It is used during a short…
- OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
skiplane performance data, and weight and center of gravity considerations. The AFM/POH skiplane supplement may provide limitations including limiting airspeeds for operation with skis in flight and for other wheel/ski configurations. These speeds may be different from the wheel-type…
- Chapter 9: Approaches and Landings › Use of Flaps
this chapter may help. When needed, additional flight instruction enhances safety. The manufacturer’s recommended procedures, including airplane configuration and airspeeds, and other information relevant to approaches and landings in a specific make and model airplane are contained…
- Chapter 18: Emergency Procedures › Emergency Descents
factors (G forces) on the airplane. Emergency descent training should be performed as recommended by the manufacturer, including the configuration and airspeeds. Except when prohibited by the manufacturer, the power should be reduced to idle, and the propeller control…
- Chapter 9: Approaches and Landings › Normal Approach and Landing › Final Approach
descent angle remains constant in a steady state wind condition. The pilot controls these forces by adjusting the airspeed, attitude, power, and drag (flaps or forward slip). However, wind may affect the gliding distance over the ground [Figure ... appropriately. Figure 9-4. Effect of headwind on final approach. A well-executed final approach includes reaching the desired touchdown point at an airspeed that results in minimum floating just before touchdown. To accomplish this, both the descent angle…
- Chapter 1: Risk Management and Single-Pilot Resource Management › Teaching Decision-Making Skills
initial focus is on developing the stick-and-rudder skills required to execute this operation safely. These include power and airspeed management, aircraft configuration, placement in the pattern, wind correction, determining the proper aim point and sight picture…
