  2. V speeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_speeds

    V PD: Maximum speed at which whole-aircraft parachute deployment has been demonstrated [42] V ra: Rough air speed (turbulence penetration speed). [9] V SL: Stall speed in a specific configuration [9] [39] V s 1g: Stall speed at 1g load factor [43] V sse: Safe single-engine speed [44] V t: Threshold speed [39] V TD: Touchdown speed [45] V TGT ...

  3. Minimum control speeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_Control_Speeds

    The minimum control speed (V MC) of a multi-engine aircraft (specifically an airplane) is a V-speed that specifies the calibrated airspeed below which directional or lateral control of the aircraft can no longer be maintained, after the failure of one or more engines.

  4. Balanced field takeoff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balanced_field_takeoff

    The takeoff decision speed V 1 is the fastest speed at which the pilot must take the first actions to reject the takeoff (e.g. reduce thrust, apply brakes, deploy speed brakes). At speeds below V 1 the aircraft can be brought to a halt before the end of the runway. At V 1 and above, the pilot should continue the takeoff even if an emergency is ...

  5. Aircraft approach category - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_approach_category

    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] The maximum permitted speed for visual manoeuvring is significantly higher than the threshold speed. Additional speed ranges are specified for other segments of the approach. [1]: Table II-5-1-2

  6. Engine failure on takeoff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_failure_on_takeoff

    In small airplanes, if the engine failure occurs before V R (Rotation Speed), the pilot should reduce throttles to idle, deploy speed brakes (if equipped), and brake as necessary. If the engine failure occurs just after liftoff, the pilot must make a decision if there is enough runway to achieve an emergency runway landing, or if an off field ...

  7. 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 ...

  8. Piper J-3 Cub - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piper_J-3_Cub

    The Piper J-3 Cub is an American light aircraft that was built between 1938 and 1947 by Piper Aircraft.The aircraft has a simple, lightweight design which gives it good low-speed handling properties and short-field performance.

  9. Betz's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betz's_law

    The horizontal axis reflects the ratio v 2 /v 1, the vertical axis is the power coefficient [8] C P. By differentiating P {\displaystyle P} with respect to v 2 v 1 {\displaystyle {\tfrac {v_{2}}{v_{1}}}} for a given fluid speed v 1 and a given area S , one finds the maximum or minimum value for P {\displaystyle P} .
