The faster an aircraft goes, the more lift it generates. Lift is the upward force that keeps you in the air. If airspeed is too slow, the aircraft could lose lift and stall. Meanwhile, lower altitudes demand that you be extra careful with airspeed to maintain lift and prevent stalls. miles per hour.

So the 737 T/R uses radio altimeter to enable the reversers. This has been maintained over the various versions of the 737, since the fundamental issue that resulted in using radio altimeter rather than WoW never changed. It could also help explain the long float resulting in a very late touchdown.

Flaps, which help to lower an aircrafts speed while providing additional lift at those lower airspeeds, are lowered in stages, as adding too much flaps at once can upset the aerodynamics and thus stability of the aircraft. At this point, the use of the aircraft’s flaps becomes critical.

A steam gauge airspeed indicator, Garmin G3X, autopilot, Garmin G5, transponder, fuel selector, accelerometer, and steam gauge altimeter were centered directly in front of me. After a few seconds, Ill lift the tail and then add full power. Ill roll out on the runway and slowly bring the power in, I said. Sounds good.

When the aileron is deflected up on one side, lift is decreased on that wing. At the same time, the opposite aileron is lowered, thus increasing lift on that wing, causing the plane to roll. The steeper the bank angle, the greater the load factor, the greater the angle of attack needed to maintain lift at that same altitude.

You should monitor the temperature closely during winter or in colder regions since icing can impact both lift and control. Altimeter Setting The altimeter setting gives you pressure information in inches of mercury or hectopascals. A2992 : Altimeter setting of 29.92 In our example, an altimeter setting of 29.92

The higher speed creates extra lift, causing the airplane to bank further into the turn. The aileron on the right wing deflects down, increasing the camber and creating more lift. The left wing’s aileron deflects up, decreasing lift. The lift imbalance causes the roll. Glance at your altimeter.
