Although he was flying at or near the proper airspeeds for an overhead pattern, he was constantly moving the throttlesfrom near idle to near full thrust within seconds. Our Talon accelerated as it climbed toward pattern altitude1,500 feet AGL. For every 100 pounds above 1,000, add one knot to each airspeed. Gusty winds?

Other relevant numbers for the E1000 AX are its max cruise speed of 333 knots, max operating altitude of FL 340 and NBAA range of 1,560 nm. The yaw damper automatically activates when 250 feet up on takeoff and deactivates at 200 feet agl on landing. Full-fuel payload is a whopping 1,150 pounds, and max landing weight is 7,600.

Our NIFA team of pilots would travel to other colleges and compete in sanctioned competition involving precise navigation, pre-flight inspections, accuracy landings, and simulated bomb drops into a barrel from 100 AGL feet using bean bags as bombs. It was also destroying the propellers air foils causing a loss of thrust.

The pilot reported that he was too high and fast crossing the threshold 70 feet above ground level (AGL) at 90 mph. Halfway down the runway the airplane was about 30 feet AGL at a speed of about 45 mph, and oscillating 20 degrees either side of center. Post-almost-flight investigation proved embarrassing. Other than that, what?

TSB Approach sequence Due to reported wind gusts as the CRJ900 approached Toronto Pearson following a flight from MinneapolisSaint Paul International Airport (MSP) the aircraft was flown at 149 knots. The engine thrust was steady at approximately 43%N1, the TSB report explained. The bank angle increased to a 4.7right bank.

The helicopter turned left to return to the airport, travelling at about 85 knots. The indicated airspeed had fallen below 65 knots and was still decreasing. The helicopter was at treetop height with an indicated airspeed of zero knots when the right yaw ceased. The pilot reported two miles out.

Thrust : The force generated by the engine that propels the aircraft forward. Pilots must counteract the additional drag with more thrust to maintain altitude. Fly at least 1,500 above ground level (AGL) to allow room for recovery in case you stall the aircraft. Gradually reduce thrust from cruise power.
