![]() ![]() Flex/Derate, Engine bump and derated climb specific to Airbus aircraft.Tires are carefully designed and tested to withstand operation up to, but not necessarily beyond, these ratings. To accommodate these operational conditions, each tire has specific load and speed ratings. It is common for a jet airplane tire to carry loads as heavy as 60,000 pounds while operating at ground speeds up to 235 miles per hour. Airplane tires are designed to withstand a wide range of operating conditions, including carrying very high loads and operating at very high speeds.This document is published by Boeing and it is well illustrated. These incidents were caused by a variety of human errors that typically resulted from using an erroneously low value for gross weight or an incorrect flap reference setting when determining takeoff speeds. Operators have reported the use of excessively low takeoff reference speeds that have resulted in tail strike, high-speed rejected takeoffs (RTO), and other instances of degraded performance.Airbus presents New Derated and Flexible Takeoff Thrust for up to 40% thrust reduction.The Effect of ZFW / ZFWCG on Airbus Operations.Effect Of Zero Fuel Weight On Aircraft Operations.But is it always that straightforward? Is everything actually wihed prior to the flight? How is the airplane empty weight determined? This Boeing document is a very well done brochure. The determination of Dispatch Takeoff Weight seems to be quite easy: start with the empty weight of the airplane and add the weight.Determination Of Dispatch Takeoff Weight.This Rolls Royce document answers to frequent asked questions on Derated Climb Performance:.This Boeing document is an excellent briefing on deicing/anti-icing fluids.A perspective to get started with dignified Cost Index Values.A UPS captain explains the operational aspects of CDAs or Continuous Descent Arrivals.This document will help you to increase your knowledge in a better understanding of contaminated and slippery runways.This FSF document explains the chilling result of cold temperatures on barometric altimeters. We diligently set the local altimeter settings prior to each takeoff and each approach but we do not routinely make any corrections for non-standard temperatures. Barometric altimeters on modern aircraft with digital Air Data Computers are very accurate most of the time and we rely on these altimeters in every aspect of today’s air travel.Chilling Result Of Cold Temperatures On Baro Altimeters.This Boeing document will help you to understand better the Center Of Gravity Limitations.Besides giving the airplanes a distinctive appearance, the winglets create more efficient flight characteristics in cruise and during takeoff and climbout, which translate into additional range with the same fuel and payload. ![]() Blended winglets on the Boeing Business Jet and the B737-800 commercial airplane offer operational benefits to customers.Blended Winglets For Improved Performance.Southwest engineer gives operator perspective on blended winglet.In Sweden, known for warm and dry summers, the contamination mostly consists of snow and ice in the winter. It is well known that contamination on the runway may be a contributing factor to a runway excursion.Unfortunately, GA pilots are ill trained to manage modern automation issues. Towards the late 1970s large airline calamities ushered in an era of research focused on crew resource management and command training. In the present day, the technology and automation in the General Aviation cockpit is exceeding that of the airlines. The two decades following the end of World War II saw the continuation of military-sponsored research, driven in large part, by the Cold War. This was most evident in airplane crashes by highly-trained pilots due to problems with control configurations. The outbreak of World War II, witnessed the tipping point where the technological advances had finally outpaced the ability of people to adapt and compensate to poor designs. This prompted the development of aviation psychology and the beginning of aeromedical research. With the start of World War I, the first conflict to employ the newly invented airplane in combat, the need arose for methods to rapidly select and train qualified pilots. Many of the human factors and ergonomic advances originated out of military necessity. ![]()
