  2. Flight airspeed record - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_airspeed_record

    Both Tu-116 and Tu-142 claim higher maximum speeds. 5 February 1952: Flight Lieutenant Edward Powles: 690: 1,110.447: Supermarine Spitfire PR.XIX PS852: Reached (Mach 0.96) during an emergency dive while carrying out spying flights over China, the highest speed ever recorded for a piston-engined aircraft (though not in level flight). [68] 14 ...

  3. Aircraft approach category - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_approach_category

    Table II-5-1-2 Aircraft approach categories do not change during day-to-day operation. To change an aircraft's category, an aircraft must be re-certified with a different maximum landing mass. [1]: II-5-1-3 Pilots may not use a lower category than the one certified, but may choose to use a higher category for higher speed approaches. [2]

  4. V speeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_speeds

    Maximum landing gear operating speed. This is the maximum speed at which the landing gear on a retractable gear aircraft should be extended or retracted. [7] [9] [20] V LOF: Lift-off speed. [7] [9] V MC: Minimum control speed. The minimum speed at which the aircraft is still controllable with the critical engine inoperative. [7]

  5. Flight tracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_tracking

    Flight tracking enables travellers as well as those picking up travellers after a flight to know whether a flight has landed or is on schedule, for example to determine whether it is time to go to the airport. Aircraft carry ADS-B transponders, which transmit information such as the aircraft ID, GPS position, and altitude as radio signals.

  6. Maneuvering speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maneuvering_speed

    The concept of maximum operating maneuvering speed was introduced to the US type-certification standards for light aircraft in 1993. [1] [6] The maximum operating maneuvering speed is selected by the aircraft designer and cannot be more than , where V s is the stalling speed of the aircraft, and n is the maximal allowed positive load factor.

    Commercial flights typically travel between 480 to 575 mph speeds, according to Flex Air Flight School. Eddie Sheerr, a meteorologist with NTV News in Canada, said in a post on X that the planes ...

  8. Airspeed indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airspeed_indicator

    At a glance, the pilot can determine a recommended speed (V speeds) or if speed adjustments are needed. Single and multi-engine aircraft have common markings. For instance, the green arc indicates the normal operating range of the aircraft, from V S1 to V NO. The white arc indicates the flap operating range, V SO to V FE, used for approaches ...

  9. Holding (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holding_(aeronautics)

    Maximum holding airspeeds (MHA) are established to keep aircraft within the protected holding area during their one-minute (one-minute and a half above 4,300 m (14,000 ft) MSL) inbound and outbound legs. For civil aircraft (not military) in the United States and Canada, these airspeeds are: [1] [8] Up to 1,800 m (6,000 ft) MSL: 200 KIAS
