737 NG’s are fitted with predictive windshear system (PWS). This is available below 2300ft. You do not need weather radar to be switched on for PWS to work, since it switches on automatically when take-off thrust is set. However there is a 12 sec warm up period, so if you want PW...
At around 1500ft RA set flaps to 15 (check that speed is below 172kts), which is our final stage of flaps for the very long runway in L.A. we could even land with flaps 10 if we wanted but we want to try get off the runway quickly as well, since we're going to park near ...
In the summer of 1982, the USS Enterprise and the USS Ranger tangled with each other in a 72 hour off-going/on-going engagement to see if the Navy’s capability in the buildup to the “600 ship Navy” had reached to the planned expectation of a continuous engagement capacity. This was...
Do "clearing turns" prior to entering any runway. Once cleared for "taxi into position and hold," turn on all exterior lights except take-off/landing lights. If you have been holding on the runway for more than 90 seconds, or upon seeing a potential conflict, contact ATC. ...
The wind was creating a little full rudder sometimes (a known Spitfire quirk as it had a weak rudder), but the Spit was falling down to the runway with ease... slightly slower... ... slightly off the throttle and I was down. I'm not saying it was easy, easy ...
Taxi to the run up area next to runway 07. There we can test our engine without causing too much wind from our propeller wash. Point the nose into the wind and stop the plane with the brakes. Set the parking brake. Run-Up We're now performing an engine test before we take off. Ma...

When she landed at Miami after the record runs, the Seversky’s tail wheel began rapidly swinging from side to side. This was something that the P-35s were experiencing and a number of the fighters had been wrecked. Jackie said, “One wing was pulled off altogether and the landing gear ...
The earlier "Stratos" series is a large aircraft, operated by the civilian Astro-crisis Management Organization. Manned by a flight crew of four, it carries a single anti-meteorite warhead, and is capable of ascending to the outer stratosphere after taking off from conventional runways. It is...
In an example, the system10can exclude at least one vertical stabilizer60, thereby reducing drag and minimizing the effect of crosswind on heading during hover. A vertical stabilizer60typically runs parallel to the longitudinal length of the fuselage. The vertical stabilizers60can extend for the ent...
