15 (0) Airspeed Limit This is the speed at which landing gear extension becomes inhibited (knots). Not used for scrape points or non-retractable gear. 16 (200) Damage from Airspeed The speed above which the landing gear accrues damage (knots). Not used for scrape points or non-retractable...
As the accident investigation requires a lot of manpower and resources, in general, the investigation report usually does not contain the above two data unless causing many casualties. Ground measurement equipment is also a solution, but its accuracy is too low to be acceptable. This situation ...
This section provides the height of various points of the aircraft, above the ground, for different aircraft configurations. Dimensions in the tables are approximate and will vary with tire type, weight and balance and other special conditions. The dimensions are given for: - A light weight, ...
for its official first flight. At a height of 20 to 40 feet (6 to 12 meters) above the runway, the helicopter maneuvered for about nine minutes. It reached a speed of 45 miles per hour (72 kilometers per hour), flew backwards, and rotated 360°. (The helicopter had actually become...
Fly east at 5000 feet starting from above the Santa Barbara (KSBA) airport again. Turn on the autopilot with the AP pushbutton and select a heading of 090° with the heading bug and push the HDG pushbutton on the autopilot. Hold 5000 ft. ...

the prop angle changes again by itself and you are about 100 feet above ground (AGL) where the IPS is selected to ”On” prior to entering the bug zone. Sometimes I use 20 degrees of flaps, other times I use none. I like the pitch control with zero flaps, but in the end, the fl...

b. Wing area and wing airfoil technology (expressed as an M2CL of at least 0.30-0.35) to provide for cruise flight at 35,000-41,000 feet (above most adverse weather and 10,000-16,000 feet higher than prior art tilt rotor aircraft); c. Small empennage, low drag fuselage, low drag ...
descent, and landing in sequence. A cruise flight condition means sustained self-powered flight at a given cruise altitude and cruise speed. Contemplated cruise altitudes include 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, and 65 thousand feet above sea level. Contemplated cruise speeds...
