minutes, covered 1,722 nm at an average ground speed of 511 knots, and burned 22,200 pounds of jet-A. Below 500 feet I got a bit slow, momentarily down to 147 knots, versus a reference speed of 144 and target of 152. On a typical flight I taxi at a maximum of 21 knots, rotate at 1.9 I hand-flew the first 13.3

You can also use it for unit conversions, estimating wind correction angles, and figuring out density altitude. Using the Air Density Windows and the Baseplate The disk also features cut-out windows designed for air density-related calculations. That means itll take 24 minutes to fly 40 miles at 100 knots.

Published time to climb to 20,000 feet is 18 minutes, and cruise speeds are advertised to be 205 knots at 15,000 feet. Most A36 owners we talk with plan on 165 knots and 1,000 fpm climbs when lightly loaded. Older models might sell for around $500,000 and later ones closer to $800,000.

After a shallow turn from downwind, the Bonanza was positioned on base at a proper altitude and airspeed and with a constant descent rate. The wind at the surface was reported as 220 degrees at 6 knots gusting 19 knots. The pilot continued the turn to final but overshot the extended runway centerline.

An Air India Boeing 787 That’s because of a short piece of text on page 13 reads, “The aircraft achieved the maximum recorded airspeed of 180 Knots IAS at about 08:08:42 UTC, and immediately thereafter, the Engine 1 and Engine 2 fuel cutoff switches transitioned from RUN to CUTOFF position one after another with a time gap of 01 sec.

The calculated density altitude was 4,790 feet. Probable cause(s): The pilot’s failure to maintain clearance from trees after takeoff, during high density altitude weather conditions. About 10 minutes later, the airplane was less than 100 feet above ground level, with a ground speed of about 61 knots.
