Corporate pilots who had seen nothing but gray or rain outside the windshield suddenly could see the terrain, obstacles, runways, approaches, their own flightpath ahead, and even traffic in 3D. The SVS reduces landing minima from 200 ft to 150 ft, giving the EFVS a better chance to pick up the runway environment and approach lighting system.

As the aircraft approached Nome, air traffic controllers informed the pilot of flight 445 that Nomes runway was being de-iced and was temporarily closed, and that flight 445 could expect a 10 to 15 minute delay in landing clearance to be given. Indications show that its speed dropped from around 160 knots to 110 knots.

According to the official Cherokee Warrior II Information Manual, the recommended approach speed with full flaps is 63 knots. However, on the flight home from Guthrie, I made my approach at exactly 63 knots to the Kentland Municipal Airport (50I) in the midst of a windswept Indiana cornfield.

This is often the clean configuration at max gross weight. As the aircraft approaches the target airspeed, add power to ensure you don’t slow down past it. Flying Too Fast Students are often wary of approaching the stall speed. Pilots must maintain tight control over their airspeed on approach to avoid floating.

However, the Cavorite X7 uses a different approach. The maximum gross weight of the aircraft is stated as 2,500kg (5,500 lbs). Our unique, customer-first approach prioritizes building a tough eVTOL aircraft that can operate in bad weather, icing conditions, and other challenging operational environments.

Adding a liquid cooling system is one answer, but that incurs a weight penalty. Doing touch-and-goes from short approaches may not allow enough time to dissipate heat buildup between climbouts. Interspersing level-flight maneuvers with pattern practice might be a solution. Can We Build Them Tough Enough?

The flight data recorder shows the following: Directly before take-off, the gross weight was 328.2 After the flight crew had dumped 72,000 kg of fuel, they returned to the airport where they performed an ILS approach and landed normally on the parallel runway. tons with 109,100 kg of fuel on board.

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. But I have maintained 5000 feet at 6000 pounds gross weight,” notes Ross. lb/sq ft Power loading 10.32

Max Gross Weight: 1,320 lbs. Empty Weight: 840 lbs. Come in at 65 KIAS with a small amount of power during a normal 3-degree glide slope approach and the runway will find you. Forces are much lighter at these slower speeds, of course, but the F2 will let you pick up a wing with rudder or aileron even at 55-60 KIAS.

Maximum Gross Weight: 1,587 lbs. Empty Weight, Standard: 959 lbs. Resuming a powered descent to enter the pattern, the aux fuel pump goes on and flaps are deployed to 15 degrees, and the aircraft trimmed to 75 knots for the approach. Clearing the final approach path, we extended full flaps and stabilized at 70 knots.
