Delta Connection flight received sink rate alert before Toronto Pearson crash

Aerotime

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.

Airspeed and Altitude Control Simplified: Tips for Stable Flying

Pilot Institute

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.

E6B Made Easy: A Beginner’s Step-by-Step Guide

Pilot Institute

Step-by-Step: How to Use the E6B for Time and Speed Calculations Calculating Time en Route Lets say were flying at a constant airspeed of 100 knots. That means itll take 24 minutes to fly 40 miles at 100 knots. That means our groundspeed was 90 knots. Calibrated airspeed is not the same as indicated airspeed.

Icing, Systems, and Human Factors: Preliminary Findings on Voepass flight 2283

Fear of Landing

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.

The Classic Boeing Airspeed Indicator

AeroSavvy

The Honeywell SI-800 Airspeed/Mach Indicator has been a standard instrument on the Boeing 737, 747, 757, and 767 for decades. Boeing stopped installing the stand-alone indicator in favor of modern, reliable flat panel displays. V MO on the 767 is between 340-360 knots (depending on aircraft serial number).

In another incident, an air carrier pilot noticed an unusual reading on the cockpit oxygen gauge during preflight (this sounds vague, which is one of the negative aspects of the making the data base anonymous). I would prefer to be 5 or 10 knots slower than the barber pole (maximum indicated airspeed in a turbine airplane) or red line.

We Fly: Cirrus SR G7

Flying Magazine

But the engineering behind the G7 didn’t wring a few more knots from the carbon fiber airframe by tweaking fairings or FIKI panels. Flap overspeed protection makes for one more improvement, preventing the pilot from deploying the flaps above the programmed indicated airspeed relevant to the flap setting selected. Obs: 1,868 ft.
