Rumpel told The Associated Press Tuesday that new radios had been installed in the plane two or three weeks ago and the aircraft was equipped with emergency oxygen.
Why you need oxygen if an aircraft cabin loses pressure. Flying at high altitudes with a hole in an airplane is, to put it lightly, dangerous. At altitudes above 15,000 feet, people struggle to ...
Reasons to perform a rejected takeoff vary but are usually related to a suspected or actual problem with the aircraft, such as an engine failure; fire; incorrect configuration; aircraft control issue; unusually slow acceleration; automated warning signal(s) indicating a critical system failure; environmental conditions such as predictive ...
Many modern aircraft use single-lever power control (SLPC) system, where on-board computer automatically manages the propeller speed based on the desired power setting and operational conditions. The output power from the propeller is equal to a product of propeller efficiency and input power from the engine.
The flight test phase accomplishes two major tasks: 1) finding and fixing aircraft design problems and then 2) verifying and documenting the vehicle capabilities when the vehicle design is complete, or to provide a final specification for government certification or customer acceptance. The flight test phase can range from the test of a single ...
That failure would have made it impossible for the pilot to control the airplane. Evidence showed the failure happened before the crash, not as a result of it, investigators concluded.
Scripps News spoke with aviation expert Kit Darby who explained why certain technologies may have been disabled before the deadly crash near Reagan National Airport on Wednesday.
The original issue of the Airworthiness Standards for Aircraft Engines (14 CFR 33) on June 10, 1964 included a durability requirement in Part 33.19 [11] to ensure "the design of the compressor and turbine rotor cases must provide for the containment of damage from rotor failure."
