Legends of Flight - Theatrical Trailer. Stall (flight) Because stalls are most commonly discussed in connection with aviation, this article discusses stalls as they relate mainly to aircraft, in particular fixed-wing aircraft. The principles of stall discussed here translate to foils in other fluids as well. A fixed-wing aircraft during a stall may experience buffeting or a change in attitude. Most aircraft are designed to have a gradual stall with characteristics that will warn the pilot and give the pilot time to react. For example, an aircraft that does not buffet before the stall may have an audible alarm or a stick shaker installed to simulate the feel of a buffet by vibrating the stick fore and aft.

The "buffet margin" is, for a given set of conditions, the amount of ‘g’, which can be imposed for a given level of buffet. Depending on the aircraft's design, a stall can expose extremely adverse properties of balance and control, in particular in a prototype. One symptom of an approaching stall is slow and sloppy controls. Where: = lift and. VOR Navigation. Use the VOR simulator to see the effect of relative aircraft position on the VOR instrument. Set the simulator to match the instrument graphic at the top of this page (set OBS to 100). Move the aircraft until you obtain the same indication as shown. What quadrant is the aircraft in? (answer at the bottom of this page) Technique: The key to properly flying a VOR radial is to understand the TO-FROM indicator and these simple rules.

First, to fly TO a VOR on a particular radial, let’s say the 180 radial, you must set the OBS to the reciprocal of the radial you want to fly, in this case, 360 degrees. A common instruction is to proceed “direct xyz VOR.” Another instruction might be “turn left heading 300 to intercept the SXC (Santa Catalina) 090 radial inbound.” If the instruction had been to “turn right left heading 120 to intercept the SXC (Santa Catalina) 090 radial outbound,” you are being told to fly away from the VOR. VOR sumulator answer: Northwest. Flight Simulator Navigation. Tutorial - How to fly an ILS approach. Situation 1: Install the files from ILS1.zip into the following FS folder: Program Files > Microsoft Games > FS2002 or FS9 > Flights > Myflts Then, fire up your sim, go to FILE > SELECT FLIGHT and choose ILS1. You will start out in a default 737 approaching London’s Stansted airport.

Everything should be configured to make a gradual intercept of the ILS. Some things to note while you cruise closer: NAV1 is set to the ILS frequency. (110.50) CRS setting on H.S.I. and Autopilot are aligned with the runway heading. So here’s my plan for starting out: You are going to use your HDG, ALT and your IAS settings on the Autopilot, to control your plane all the way down to the runway. Back to the flight, if you can find the gauge that shows you your DME to the NAV1 you can watch for the needle on the H.S.I to start centering about 14 miles out. While you are here go ahead and drop your airspeed setting to 160 knots, make sure you have about 15-20* of flaps. autopilot to 0000! VOR Approach with a DME Arc - Learning to Fly with Flight Simulator by John Rafferty. By John Rafferty FLIGHT 22VOR Approach with a DME Arc Bloomington-Normal to Gibson City Ready for a different kind of challange? This is a VOR approach, but with two differences from those you're flown so far.

DME Arc. For traffic arriving from the wrong direction—as you will be doing on this flight—the approach plate stipulates a DME arc rather than a procedure turn. VOR-A Approach. In addition, the runway length here is only 2400 feet. You may find this a bit more difficult than the previous approaches because of these new twists; keeping a constant 7 miles DME from the station, in particular, will take some practice, but it's a very satisfying procedure once you get the hang of it. Preview You'll take off on Bloomington's Runway 3, then turn right to 060° on your climb, intercepting the R-090 radial inbound to Roberts. The trick here is to control the steepness of the turn—so that you remain 7 miles DME from the station all the way around. From the Right-Hand Seat Departure. R-090. DME Arc. VOR Approach (I) - Learning to Fly with Flight Simulator by John Rafferty. By John Rafferty FLIGHT 19VOR Approach (I) Riverside to Santa Ana/John Wayne Airport In the absence of an ILS, the VOR-type of instrument approach is the most frequently used.

You tried one out yourself, in fact, back on flight 6. While one ILS approach is very much like the next one, no two VOR approaches will be alike. In all cases, however, I think you'll find them exciting and fun to do. Preview You'll start off with the VOR approach to Runway 19 Right at John Wayne Airport, as shown in Figure 4-3. You'll depart Riverside Municipal on Runway 27, and will continue west on the runway heading as you climb to 3000 feet. Before departing, compare Figure 4-3 with the actual published plate for this approach—which is provided in Chapter 5—to get familiar with the style and format of official charts. From the Right-Hand Seat Departure. Turning Inbound. If you've already reached or passed Prado (R-043), set NAV-2 to R-058, for Ollie Intersection. Setting Up. Initial Descent from Ollie.
