- Chapter 5: Rotorcraft Flight Manual › Operating Limitations (Section 2) › Powerplant Limitations
Powerplant Limitations The powerplant limitations area describes operating limitations on the helicopter’s engine including such items as rpm range, power limitations, operating temperatures, and fuel and oil requirements. Most turbine engines and some reciprocating engines have a maximum power ... maximum continuous power rating. The “maximum power” rating is the maximum power the engine can generate and is usually limited by time. The maximum power range is depicted by a yellow arc on the engine power instruments, with…
- Chapter 14: Airport Operations › En Route › Vortex Avoidance Procedures
following procedures are in place to assist pilots in vortex avoidance in the given scenario. • Landing behind a larger aircraft on the same runway— stay at or above the larger aircraft’s approach flight path and land beyond its touchdown ... point. [Figure 14-47A] • Landing behind a larger aircraft on a parallel runway closer than 2,500 feet—consider the possibility of drift and stay at or above the larger aircraft’s final approach flight path and note…
- Chapter 1: Introduction To Flying › Aircraft Classifications and Ultralight Vehicles
Airplane—an engine-driven fixed-wing aircraft heavier than air, that is supported in flight by the dynamic reaction of the air against its wings. • Glider—a heavier-than-air aircraft, that is supported in flight by the dynamic reaction ... against its lifting surfaces and whose free flight does not depend principally on an engine. • Lighter-than-air aircraft—an aircraft that can rise and remain suspended by using contained gas weighing less than the air that is displaced…
- Chapter 7: Aircraft Systems › Turbine Engines
FADEC systems are considered an essential part of the engine and propeller control and may be powered by the aircraft’s main electrical system. In many aircraft, FADEC uses power from a separate generator connected to the engine. In either ... identical digital channels are incorporated for redundancy. Each channel is capable of providing all engine and propeller functions without limitations. Turbine Engines An aircraft turbine engine consists of an air inlet, compressor, combustion chambers, a turbine section, and exhaust. Thrust…
- Chapter 6, Section I: Airplane Attitude Instrument Flying
Adjust the miniature aircraft with reference to the horizon bar for the particular airplane while on the ground. For some tricycle-gear airplanes, a slightly nose-low attitude on the ground gives a level flight attitude at normal cruising speed ... indications. Chapter 6, Section I: Airplane Attitude Instrument Flying Attitude instrument flying is defined as the control of an aircraft’s spatial position by using instruments rather than outside visual references. Today’s aircraft come equipped with analog and/or digital…
