Naval Academy, approached the problem by setting lift-drag ratio, L/D, as his metric of efficiency. Carsons approach was mathematically elegant but assumed that time and fuel were of equal value to a hypothetical pilot. These are indicated, not true, airspeeds.) Again, these are indicated airspeeds.

If you’re aiming to get comfortable with managing both airspeed and altitude in flight, you’ll need to understand the difference between indicated airspeed (IAS) and true airspeed (TAS). Key Takeaways Airspeed and altitude are directly linked to each other throughout different phases of your flight. Why is that?

The CRUISE SPEED LOW is the first level of APM alert, and means that the indicated airspeed is at least ten knots slower than the predicted speed for their current configuration. They were interrupted by São Paulo Approach asking them to try a different radio frequency, as they had reported a slight echo on the frequency.

When an aircraft exceeds M MO , a shock wave forms over the wing causing increased drag, buffeting, and possible loss of control. Airspeed Pointer The airspeed pointer shows the indicated airspeed in knots as generated by the Air Data Computer. This speed is identical to the speed depicted by the Airspeed Pointer.

Approaching and passing through Mach 1, however, an airplane acquires, in addition to the drag it already has, a new kind of drag, called wave drag. READ MORE: Boom Goes Supersonic, Makes Civil Aviation History Wave drag is part of what made the speed of sound a barrier in the 1950s.

They were approaching Bankstown when the first call was made on Bankstown Tower frequency. Pilot of VH-MYW : Bankstown Tower, MYW is approaching the [undecipherable]. Instead he aimed for the closest taxiway, leaving the flap retracted and gear up in order to reduce drag and gain maximum glide range. The reservoir.

Once the brakes are released as the airplane accelerates, adjust the airplane’s pitch to attain minimum drag and maximum acceleration. Taxi the aircraft into position, centered on the runway with the nosewheel straight, as close to the approach end as possible.Hold the brakes, preventing any movement of the aircraft.
