Blog: V-Tail Myths And The Truth, As We Know It, So Far

Presumably, the pilot was flying on an instrument flight plan, as the flight maintained a cruise altitude of 7,000 feet (and ADS-B groundspeed of 125 to 130 knots) until about 12:53 p.m. Never exceed speed (Vne) for the V-35 is 192 knots. My earlier Bonanza had an inconveniently low gear-extension speed, around 135 knots (as I recall).

Presumably, the pilot was flying on an instrument flight plan, as the flight maintained a cruise altitude of 7,000 feet (and ADS-B groundspeed of 125 to 130 knots) until about 12:53 pm local time, roughly three hours into the flight. Never exceed speed (Vne) for the V-35 is 192 knots. FlightAware data stopped at that point.

Too Much of a Good Thing

Plane and Pilot

Around halfway, cruising at 3,000 feet at 180 knots, onboard avionics data indicates increasing temperature in one of the cylinder heads lasting about five minutes. ATC rolled the emergency vehicles and cleared her to land straight in on Runway 13, wind 080 at 6 knots, with the wingman flying escort. They took off at 4:45 p.m.

Hail Damage to Austrian Airlines A320

Fear of Landing

The flight seemed routine until the flight crew started the final descent from 34,000 feet. While the aircraft was flying at a ground speed of 453 knots (about 840 kilometers per hour), countless hailstones battered the fuselage, engines, and cockpit windows. There were 173 passengers and 6 crew on board. But not just that.

maximum weight and 120 knots maximum speed (a Cessna Skycatcher, for example). You can also add additional privileges or transition to the Private Pilot certificate when you’re ready–you’ll just do some additional training with an instructor on cross country, night flying and/or in airspace requiring communication with Air Traffic Control.

Sweet Dreams

Photographic Logbook

Even though I was likely to be cleared through the outer ring by ATC (air traffic control) while on an instrument flight plan, I filed a route from Sodus to the Williamsport VOR (FQM) that circumvented the TFR entirely. I pulled the power back and set a notch of flaps to establish a 90 knot, 500 foot/minute descent.
