Load shifting is a dangerous phenomenon in water, air, and ground transportation where cargo shifts in a cargo vehicle. This causes the vehicle to tilt, which causes even more movement of the cargo, and further tilting, thereby creating a positive feedback loop.
To identify the distribution and risk factors of fatal water-related accidents for general aviation aircraft, a total of 594 water-related accidents according to 14 CFR Part 91 from 2009 to 2019 were chosen from the National Transportation Safety Board’s online database.
25 cze 2019 · The various consequences of gust loading to aircraft flight dynamics are discussed and analyzed below. It may happen that one parameter has different changes under different gust loading and flight conditions, thus necessary care should be taken if this case is encountered.
Both fore and aft Center-of-gravity issues have caused airline crashes in the past although usually not from passengers but rather shifting cargo not properly secured. I am not aware of any sideways loading issues that could not be corrected with aileron (assuming both wings are attached).
Clear ice forms when the remaining liquid portion of the water drop flows out over the aircraft surface, gradually freezing as a smooth sheet of solid ice. Formation occurs when droplets are large, such as in rain or in cumuliform clouds. Clear ice is hard, heavy, and tenacious.
• When an airplane stalls at a higher indicated airspeed due to excessive maneuvering loads. • Airplane stall speed increases in proportion to the square root of the load factor.
23 paź 2019 · The TSB Safety Study on Survivability in Seaplane Accidents (SA9401) suggests it is unlikely that persons faced with the urgency of escape in water will retrieve the life vests stored in the aircraft.
