airplane equipped with retractable landing gear. VMC. Minimum control airspeed. This is the minimum flight speed at which a light, twin-engine airplane can be satisfactorily controlled when an engine suddenly becomes inoperative and the remaining engine is at takeoff ... Operating above this speed is prohibited since it may result in damage or structural failure. The red line on the airspeed indicator. VNO. The maximum structural cruising speed. Do not exceed this speed except in smooth…

request. 7-6-4. Obstructions To Flight a. General. Many structures exist that could significantly affect the safety of your flight when operating below 500 feet above ground level (AGL), and particularly below 200 feet AGL. While ... that are not marked and lighted and/or charted as obstructions and, therefore, may not be seen in time to avoid a collision. Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) are issued on those lighted structures experiencing temporary light outages. However, some time…

- Chapter 5: Aerodynamics of Flight › Load Factors › Stalls
aircraft’s nose near or beyond the vertical attitude or at extremely low altitudes to avoid diving into the ground. A stabilized spin is not different from a stall in any element other than rotation and the same load ... average light plane is not built to withstand the repeated application of load factors common to high speed stalls. The load factor necessary for these maneuvers produces a stress on the wings and tail structure, which does not leave…
