Preventing Loss of Engine Generators on A320 Family, A330 and A340 Aircraft March 2025 Some cases of emergency electrical configurations on A320 aircraft were reported to Airbus where both Integrated Drive Generators (IDGs) failed in sequence due to worn components inside their Constant Speed Drive ...
Additionally, the aviation and aerospace sector in the U.S is growing at a rapid speed, which has ultimately created a substantial demand for aircraft gearboxes. The presence of key players, such as Collins Aerospace. Moreover, the presence of leading aircraft manufacturers such as the Boeing ...
This article is the conclusion of our theme of speed management during a flight, which began in Safety first Issue #18. We are entering into the descent phase. Our objective is to cover descent from cruise altitude down toward the destination airport and prepare the aircraft for its approach ...
x-plane xgs landing speed plugin - reloaded This is a further development of the well known "Landing speed plugin" The original code contains compiled in limits and text for rating the landing that are not appropriate for airliners. There are some mods on the net with other compiled in limit...
*RNP APCH:RNP approaches are enabled by GNSS. Modern avionics can provide both lateral and vertical guidance along a defined path when it is published as an RNP approach. These approaches are described by a series of waypoints, legs that connect the waypoints and any speed and altitude constrai...
For aircraft, landing is accomplished by slowing down and descending to the runway. This speed reduction is accomplished by reducing thrust and/or inducing a greater amount of drag using flaps, landing gear or speed brakes. As the plane approaches the ground, the pilot will execute a flare to...

A hint for descending: The autothrottle on the A320 is reacting quite slowly, so you might consider switching speed control off on starting a new descent stage, set N1 to idle manually and then activate the SPD button again! Sometimes using the speed brakes will be necessary. ...
For example, when the aircraft is taxiing to the runway, brakes are typically frequently applied to control the speed of the aircraft. This generates heat. The motor is operated in an enhanced cooling mode51to cool the brakes. In the enhanced cooling mode51, the motor takes power from the ...
