They were interrupted by São Paulo Approach asking them to try a different radio frequency, as they had reported a slight echo on the frequency. Source: ATR Cold Weather Operations The flight crew contacted São Paulo Approach on the new frequency and received no response. Source: CENIPA The captain resumed the approach briefing.

Theres no Purple Heart for shooting an instrument approach to minimums without looking at an MFD. Landing a Cirrus on a 3000-foot runway is perfectly doable, but not if you land fast and long because the brakes will not save you from a bad approach. No rudder trim. The engine runs hot.

The rotational force thats needed to move an object about an axis is called torque. The simplest formula for torque is: Torque = F x L L is the distance between the object and the axis of rotation, also called the moment arm. Adverse yaw is created due to the drag differential between the two sides of the aircraft.

These are called left turning tendencies and include P-factor, spiraling slipstream, torque, and gyroscopic precession. When an airplane starts a turn, there is more lift, and therefore, more drag created in the raised wing. When an airplane starts a turn, there is more lift, and therefore, more drag created in the raised wing.

Poor Control Feel When the aircraft approaches a stall, the boundary layer separates from the wing. Watch out for torque effect (especially if you are in high-powered aircraft) since the increase in power can cause the nose to yaw to the left. While takeoff flaps improve performance, they also add unwanted drag.

But it was apparent the smallest Grumman flying boat was too small and full of quirks—the cabin door won’t open if the flaps are down, for example—to justify something approaching a direct copy. Another advantage of the counter-rotating props is the elimination of torque roll. Maintenance room is generally very good.
