5 dni temu · Flight Level (FL): Yes, flight level in a way is used to indicate altitude. But while this is often used to indicate how high an aircraft is flying, it’s not so simple. FL is actually defined as a “surface of constant atmosphere pressure which is related to a specific pressure datum, 1013.2hPa, and is separated from other such surfaces by ...
5 dni temu · Accordingly, if pilots need to descend from 35,000 feet to 20,000 feet, it will take them approximately 45 miles to lose 15,000 feet (15*3=45). Regarding speed, the pilots from the above example will start descending well before 90 miles from the destination. This is because it takes more miles to slow down. Most jets slow at about 10 knots per ...
2 dni temu · DA's are different than MDAs. MDAs are absolute floors, but when flying to a DA, you make your "continue-to-land" or "go missed" decision at DA, while you remain on the glideslope. This means you may go slightly below DA while you're deciding if you have the requirements to continue down the glidepath and land, or if you need to go missed and ...
5 dni temu · Flight level | Metric flight levels. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has recommended a transition to using the International System of Units since 1979 with a recommendation on using metres (m) for reporting flight levels.
1 dzień temu · This includes the automatic calibration panel detection in QR Mode. An image of the calibrated reflectance panel was taken prior to the flights for use in the recommended transfer function for radiance to reflectance for each band. Four flights at differing altitudes above ground level (AGL) were conducted using an 80% image overlap.
