Blog: V-Tail Myths And The Truth, As We Know It, So Far

AV Web

This is often the result of the aircraft picking up excessive airspeed as a result of pilot disorientation in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC), followed by an abrupt pitch-up after exiting the bottom of the cloud. Never exceed speed (Vne) for the V-35 is 192 knots. Those are the things we don’t know.

Painted Cloudscapes to Saratoga Springs

Photographic Logbook

Even slowed by a 25 knot headwind, the airplane still saved time. From flight planning, I knew that we would experience rain, instrument meteorological conditions (IMC), and darkness. We learned the next day that a circuit breaker for the weather sensing instrumentation tripped, but the transmitter still worked.

In Search of the Headless Horseman

Photographic Logbook

As our trip to Sleepy Hollow neared, forecasts for IFR weather inspired a shuffling of airplanes and pilots so that our seven adventurers were distributed among three IFR-capable airplanes with current IFR pilots. We flew at 7,000 feet with as much as a 30 knot tailwind. Better safe than sorry.

How to Perform a Go-Around (The Right Way)

Pilot Institute

Weather Go-arounds due to weather occur due to wind shear caused by gusting winds or microbursts. The aircraft was 44 knots higher than its target landing speed, which resulted in a runway overrun. The risk of losing control is higher in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) or at night.
