Depict Class B airspace which provides for the control or segregation of all the aircraft within the Class B airspace. The chart depicts topographic information and aeronautical information which includes visual and radio aids to navigation, airports, controlled airspace, restricted areas, obstructions, and related data.
Industry:Aviation
A chart that relates velocity to load factor. It is valid only for a specific weight, configuration, and altitude and shows the maximum amount of positive or negative lift the airplane is capable of generating at a given speed. Also shows the safe load factor limits and the load factor that the aircraft can sustain at various speeds.
Industry:Aviation
The most common visual glidepath system in use. The VASI provides obstruction clearance within 10° of the extended runway centerline, and to 4 nautical miles (NM) from the runway threshold.
Industry:Aviation
Code of Federal Regulations that gov-ern the procedures for conducting flight under visual conditions.
Industry:Aviation
The maximum speed at which an airplane can be safely flown with the landing gear extended.
Industry:Aviation
The speed at which the aircraft departs the runway during takeoff.
Industry:Aviation
The maximum speed for extending or retracting the landing gear if using an airplane equipped with retractable landing gear.
Industry:Aviation
This is the minimum flight speed at which a twin-engine airplane can be satisfactorily controlled when an engine suddenly becomes inoperative and the remaining engine is at takeoff power.
Industry:Aviation
The minimum drag speed occurs at the speed where the induced drag is equal to the parasitic drag. This is the speed at which the best gradient of climb, or for unpowered aircraft, minimum gradient of descent, is achieved.
Industry:Aviation
VMO is the maximum normal operating speed in which the pilot has full control authority of the aircraft. Maximum operating speed is expressed in knots.
