Which material is best suited to build a light weighed aircraft?
Yes. Just check the FAA website.What does it mean when a airplane pilot indicates "heavy"?
Coach
I'm sure it has been. Have suffered a few close calls..........
no not really it is extremely rare for turbulence to cause a palne crash although it has happened
where can i buy a sat/nav system in spain and how much do they cost?
wind shear is a form of turbulance and has caused several crashesI MUST KNOW HOW THEY DO IT !!?
Yes it has, I once was caught up in Turbulance when I was travelling to Florida. It is very frightning and someone on board the plane was telling me that the last time he went on a flight and hit turbulance their plane had split in half, he said the one half of the plane killed nearly all the passengers and he was at the rear of the plane which he said they all laned in the sea.How can I use a Cessna 150 in FS 2004?
I think wind shear is considered much worse, although modern planes can stand a lot of turbulence.How should I ask to go into the flightdeck/cockpit?
Supersonic flatulence has been known to blow a few about.from where one can do CPL & what it would cost?
Yes, one china airline landed in the sea in Hongkong someyears back. I was fortunate to be on a 747 when it landed under
tropical storm conditions and it was especially hairy when
seated at the rear of the plane. So if you can't stand the excitement get seats up front.
Do you need a degree to be a airplane pilot or what do you need to be one??
Yes. The USAF thinks it lost two KC-135s to severe turbulence and there have been other in-flight breakups.how does an aircraft boneyard work?
Wake turbulance put a Royal Aircraft Establishment Hawk on it's roof at RAE Bedford in 1982. The pilot ejected from the back seat and bounced along the gras until he hit the perimeter fence, he survived though when I met him in 1983 he was walking with sticks. The photographer in the front seat stayed with the aircraft and was uninjured.
I have a college degree and a pilot's license. Could I be a flight attendant?
Possibly the China Airlines 747 in the link below.
How tall are the Wheels on a 747 Jumbo Jet?
There was a BOAC 707 too, can't find a link right now.
Should airline pilots be forced to retire at age 60?
Rivet Amber, an RC-135, was lost due to damage caused by turbulence (second link)
One of the US "Broken Arrow" incidents was an in-flight breakup of a B52 at around 30,000 feet due to severe turbulence (third link)
So it isn't common, but it does happen.
How often do they change the tires on a jet airliner?
yes i believe many have been involved and have had a few hairy ones myself but i always think the most vulnerable time is when the plane is off the ground with the wings fully laden with fuel and a sudden turbulence of a certain kind they are not all similar hits the plane its always a wonder to me how the wings don't rip off and go straight up as you can actually see them wavering up and down with two heavy engines on each wing, when you pass through i never fail to think the guys who produce and service these planes do a magnificent jobWhat is the white smoke that comes out of a plane?
Turbulence is one of the more common factors in non-equipment related accidents. Wind shear on approach, thunderstorms, mountain rolls, CAT. All have caused accidents over the yearsThe most dangerous situation is wind shear on landing. This is when the wind pushes one wing upwards just as the plane is touching down and this causes the opposite wingtip to touch the runway, causing the plane to flip over. It's quite rare though. If you go to www.boeing.com you'll find all sorts of info about planes and flying - even the prices of new jets!
Where can I find free jeppensen charts for flight simulator?
noWhat is the conversion factor of wind speed from BFT to KLM per hour?
The FAA reported that among non-fatal accidents, in-flight turbulence is the leading cause of injuries to airline passengers and flight attendants. Each year, about 58 air passengers in the United States are injured by turbulence while not wearing their seat belts.Is there any site with forum for DGR (aviation) specialists. Thanks?
On December 5, 1996, 16 people suffered injuries, including a 7-month-old baby, when an American Airlines jetliner ran into clear air turbulence over Colorado. From 1981 to November 1996, there were 252 reports of turbulence affecting major air carriers. Two passengers died, 63 suffered serious injuries and 863 received minor injuries. Both fatalities involved passengers who were not wearing their seat belts.
How much does a B2 Bomber cost.?
Two third of turbulence-related accidents occurs at or above 30,000 feet. Generally, flying through turbulence of the milder nature, if prolonged, can be fairly uncomfortable to the passengers. If such turbulence were detectable by the weather radar or from weather forecast, pilots would avoid them by deviating off track
Flying through severe turbulence can result in injuries to crew and passengers if they are caught unaware and off the seatbelts. So, have your seat belts on whenever you are seated at all times!
Yes.
Can't think of specific examples right now,but have seen documentaries on wind shear,CAT,etc,and they documented aircraft that had been slammed into the ground flying through storm cells...
When does an aircraft use more fuel, during take-off or during landing?
Yes it has taken place. To simplyfy one instance concerned a large plane, jumbo jet I think and a smaller turbo prop. The turbulence from the four engines of the jumbo caused the smaller turbo prop to loose it flight pattern quite drastically and crash. Most 'turbulence crashes' are of the above scenario, however there have been a few non fatal crashes on ground level during taxing.i know u have 2 be 17 to get a privite pilots licence but can i start training at 16?
Associated PressAt what height from Earth do Aeroplanes generally fly?
An American flag, put up by New York City firefighters, flies over firefighters working Wednesday to recover evidence and human remains from the crash of American Airlines Flight 587 in the Rockaway Beach section of Queens, New York. Investigators raised the possibility Wednesday that turbulence caused by a jumbo jet contributed to the crash of American Flight 587, saying the two planes took off less than the standard two minutes apart.

NEW YORK - Investigators raised the possibility Wednesday that turbulence caused by a jumbo jet contributed to the crash of American Flight 587, saying the two planes took off less than the standard two minutes apart.
Who believes the hype about the Airbus A380?
"We do not know whether this contributed in any way to the actual accident, but we are looking at this very closely," said Marion Blakey, chairwoman of the National Transportation Safety Board.
wat airlines allow internet acceses?
"Wake turbulence" has been blamed for deadly airline crashes in the past. Investigators want to know whether it caused Flight 587 to break apart three minutes after takeoff from Kennedy Airport Monday, killing all 260 people aboard and as many as five on the ground. The plane's tail assembly sheared away and its twin engines fell off as the jet went down.
Any one know about beechcraft v-tailed bonanza?
The standard minimum amount of time between flights taking off is two minutes. However, Blakey said it appeared there were less than two minutes between the takeoff of Flight 587 and a Japan Air Lines jet that left ahead of it from the same runway.
What was the first commercial airliner and what was its firts commercal plane.?
"We believe that in fact it was 1 minute and 45 seconds in terms of the actual distance," Blakey said.
Does a delta-wing aircraft take off with elevons down?
Blakey also said at a news conference that a flight data recorder recovered from the flight was repaired by the manufacturer, allowing investigators to extract data on the last minutes of the flight. The black box recorder had been scorched and banged up in the crash.
When was the first Aeroplane created? Who was first person to drive it?
I think the answer/s are dependent upon what you mean by 'turbulence.'What is a "Pilot Knob"? It's the name of a street in my city.?
There were cases of aircraft crashing on landing on runways where it was later realised that the valley they were landing in created 'turbulence' when the wind blew from particular directions, creating wind-shere and negative lift over one wing (as I understand it, I saw / read reports and video years ago).
