- Chapter 7: Aircraft Systems › Flameout › Performance Comparison
Figure 7-29 shows how four types of engines compare in net thrust as airspeed is increased. This figure is for explanatory Figure 7-29. Engine net thrust versus aircraft speed and drag. Points A through F are explained ... purposes only and is not for specific models of engines. The following are the four types of engines: • Reciprocating powerplant • Turbine, propeller combination (turboprop) • Turbine engine incorporating a fan (turbofan) • Turbojet (pure jet) By plotting the performance curve for each…

application is completed electronically, the authorized person will submit the application to the FAA’s Airman Certification Branch (AFS-760) in Oklahoma City, OK, via the Integrated Airman Certification and Rating Application (IACRA). If the application is completed on paper ... sent to the local Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), who will forward it to AFS-760. Once the application is processed, the applicant will receive the Student Pilot Certificate by mail at the address provided on the application. The aforementioned…
- Chapter 3: Aircraft Construction › Alternate Types of Wings › The Powerplant
Powerplant The powerplant usually includes both the engine and the propeller. The primary function of the engine is to provide the power to turn the propeller. It also generates electrical power, provides a vacuum source for some flight instruments ... cylinders. The propeller, mounted on the front of the engine, translates the rotating force of the engine into thrust, a forward acting force that helps move the airplane through the air. A propeller is a rotating airfoil that produces thrust…

following factors will affect the probability and severity of brownout: rotor disk loading, rotor configuration, soil composition, wind, approach speed, and approach angle. 2. The brownout phenomenon causes accidents during helicopter landing and take-off operations in dust, fine dirt ... sand, or arid desert terrain. Intense, blinding dust clouds stirred up by the helicopter rotor downwash during near-ground flight causes significant flight safety risks from aircraft and ground obstacle collisions, and dynamic rollover due to sloped and uneven terrain…

Aviation Safety Inspector (ASI) The ASIs administer and enforce safety regulations and standards for the production, operation, maintenance, and/ or modification of aircraft used in civil aviation. They also specialize in conducting inspections of various aspects of the aviation system ... such as aircraft and parts manufacturing, aircraft operation, aircraft airworthiness, and cabin safety. ASIs must complete a training program at the FAA Academy in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, which includes airman evaluation and pilot testing techniques and procedures. ASIs also receive…
