TSB Approach sequence Due to reported wind gusts as the CRJ900 approached Toronto Pearson following a flight from MinneapolisSaint Paul International Airport (MSP) the aircraft was flown at 149 knots. One second later (2.6seconds before touchdown), the EGPWS alert sink rate sounded, indicating a high rate of descent.

If you’re aiming to get comfortable with managing both airspeed and altitude in flight, you’ll need to understand the difference between indicated airspeed (IAS) and true airspeed (TAS). Key Takeaways Airspeed and altitude are directly linked to each other throughout different phases of your flight. miles per hour.

The helicopter turned left to return to the airport, travelling at about 85 knots. The indicated airspeed had fallen below 65 knots and was still decreasing. As the airspeed decayed, the right yaw increased. As the airspeed decayed, the right yaw increased. The pilot reported two miles out.

The flight crew adjusted the icing bug to 165 knots. The icing bug is set every flight and indicates the minimum viable speed in icing conditions. The temperature at their cruising altitude was around -9° with westerly winds at 46 knots. The ATR’s airspeed was 191 knots.

Wind velocity of greater than 20 knots with higher gusts, especially flowing over rough terrain, can lead to an unwelcome flight. Even stable airmass of constant 20 knot winds as it traverses over uneven terrain will cause eddies or burbles, or “potholes in the sky” that will “involuntarily” move the aircraft in its various axes.

The shape of the surface area and layers are tailored to the individual airport and the instrument approach corridors to its runways. Class B Speed Limitations Aircraft flying within the Class B airspace may fly at an indicated airspeed of up to 250 knots. 10,000 feet MSL is a common height for Class B airspace.

Having been the former kind, I’ve had trouble putting myself in the latter’s point of view.

Class C airports’ speed limits require aircraft within 4 Nautical Miles (NM) of the primary airport and below 2500 feet to maintain an Indicated Airspeed (IAS) of 200 knots or less. Maintain a maximum airspeed of 200 knots when within 4 NM of the airport and below 2500 feet. Here’s what you need to know.

Unsurprisingly, the actual glide ratio of his 49:1 glider was much better than the required 14:1 and he approached the airport relatively high. This is consistent with Rick’s report, which referenced 9 knots of wind.
