These systems can even be found on newer General Aviation (GA) aircraft, such as the Cessna 172, with a recognition light setting activating the ALLS. Logo Lights Logo lights are lights mounted on the horizontal stabilizer of an aircraft and point upward toward the vertical stabilizer, illuminating the airlines logo.

The problem is that the airflow from the propeller goes over the horizontal stabilizer, which produces a downward force (and causes the nose to pitch up). Notable Accidents Involving Flat Spins Flat spins have been responsible for several notable commercial and general aviation accidents.

Alongside a nearby highway, some recognizable bits of airplane, the vertical stabilizer and rudder, a horizontal stabilizer and elevator, fell separately to Earth. Missing its tail, pointing almost straight down, a Van’s RV-7A single-engine, two-seat homebuilt plummeted out of the blue and into the rocky ground.

How an aircraft handles Dutch roll depends on its dynamic stability. The aircraft’s design influences its dynamic stability. To understand the aircraft’s response to a disturbance, you need to understand aerodynamic stability. There are two main types of stability: Static and Dynamic stability.

However, if you take a close look at the inboard upper wing surface of the B-52, you will see a neat row of vortex generators that correspond to the width of the horizontal stabilizer. These were added to manage the low speed air flow over the wings, stabilizer and elevators.

In tracing the origin of the Beechcraft T-34 Mentor, one must go back to the development of one of the company’s most successful civilian designs, the Model 35 Bonanza, which first flew on December 22, 1945, being piloted by Beech Aircraft’s chief test pilot, Vern Louis Carstens, and by 1947, the type hit the civil market for general aviation.
