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. One second later (2.6seconds before touchdown), the EGPWS alert sink rate sounded, indicating a high rate of descent.

Pointers V MO Pointer (Barber Pole) At low altitudes, the V MO pointer indicates the maximum operating airspeed for the aircraft. V MO on the 767 is between 340-360 knots (depending on aircraft serial number). Airspeed Pointer The airspeed pointer shows the indicated airspeed in knots as generated by the Air Data Computer.

This particular 172 normally cruised at 120 mph indicated airspeed, but with the ice it would barely do 90 mph and that required full throttle! The general prognosis indicated no icing in the clouds, no turbulence and a quartering headwind from the west resulting in a mere five knots of headwind component.

Almost eight times as much fuel is needed to propel an airplane at 400 knots as at 200. Boom aims to alleviate it (assuming the blanket supersonic ban will be rescinded or revised) by flying overland legs boomless at 700 knots and accelerating to 980 knots over oceans. We dont optimize for optics, Scholl said.

During the take-off run, the Pilot Flying will increase the thrust and then keep their hand on the thrust levers, ready to pull power back in case the take-off needs to be aborted. After V1, the Pilot Flying’s hand should be removed from the thrust levers. The next important V-Speed is V R , which is the rotation speed.
