power for undetermined reasons, and the pilot’s loss of control after performing an evasive maneuver to avoid trees during a forced landing at night. Factors related to the accident were a rough running engine and the pilots inability ... involving a transport category turbojet taken to its maximum operating altitude resulted in both engines flaming out after an aerodynamic stall. The flight ended in a crash and two fatalities. The NTSB probable cause(s) follows: 14619 The National Transportation…

path of the airplane determines the direction of the relative wind. Remote communications outlet (RCO). An unmanned communications facility that is remotely controlled by air traffic personnel. Required navigation performance (RNP). A specified level of accuracy defined by a lateral ... Rigging. The final adjustment and alignment of an aircraft and its flight control system that provides the proper aerodynamic characteristics. Rigidity. The characteristic of a gyroscope that prevents its axis of rotation tilting as the Earth rotates. Rigidity in space…

fundamental to understanding many aspects of airplane performance, stability, and control. The AOA is defined as the acute angle between the chord line of the airfoil and the direction of the relative wind. Discussions of the preceding concepts are frequently ... aeronautical texts/handbooks/manuals. The reason is not that they are inconsequential, but because the main ideas with respect to the aerodynamic forces acting upon an aircraft in flight can be presented in their most essential elements without being involved…
