Página 74 - Aircraft, while on final approach to land, or while landing, have the right of way over other aircraft in flight or operating on the surface. When two or more aircraft are approaching an airport for the purpose of landing, the aircraft at the lower altitude has the right of way, but it shall not take advantage of this rule to cut in front of another which is on final approach to land, or to overtake that aircraft.
Página 32 - Newton's first law, which states that a body at rest tends to remain at rest, and a body in motion tends to remain in motion in a straight line at a constant speed, unless it is acted on by a force.
Página 325 - VLE, if greater than VLO, and a statement that this is the maximum speed at which the airplane can be safely flown with the landing gear extended. (b) Powerplant limitations. Information must be furnished to explain the powerplant limitations and to allow marking the instruments under §§ 25.1549 through 25.1553.
Página 78 - In Flight STEADY GREEN Cleared for take-off Cleared to land FLASHING GREEN Cleared to taxi Return for landing (to be followed by steady green at proper...
Página 259 - ... pressure. In general, at high angles of attack the center of pressure moves toward the leading edge, while at low angles of attack the center of pressure moves toward the trailing edge of the wing. In modern airfoils this center of pressure travel has been greatly reduced, giving a more stable wing. In the design of wing structures this center of pressure travel is very important, as it affects the position of the air loads to be carried by the wing structure in low angle-of-attack dive conditions...
Página 80 - The basic principle of the VASI is that of color differentiation between red and white. Each light unit projects a beam of light having a white segment in the upper part of the beam and red segment in the lower part of the beam. The light units are arranged so that the pilot using the VASIs during an approach will see the combination of lights shown below.
Página 206 - Small wavelets, still short but more pronounced. Crests have a glassy appearance and do not break Large wavelets.
Página 285 - In a skid, the rate of turn is too great for the angle of bank, and the excessive centrifugal force moves the ball to the outside of the turn (Fig.
Página 269 - ... of the airplane is concentrated. If the airplane were supported at its exact center of gravity, it would balance in any attitude. It will be noted that center of gravity is of major importance in an airplane, for its position has a great bearing upon stability. The location of the center of gravity is determined by the general design of each particular airplane. The designers determine how far the center of pressure (CP) will travel. They then fix the center of gravity forward of the center of...
Página 151 - For the purposes of this section, acrobatic flight means an intentional maneuver involving an abrupt change in an aircraft's attitude, an abnormal attitude, or abnormal acceleration, not necessary for normal flight.
