Most likely FAA had warned pilots about homebuilt aircraft that are made by those that are not professionals. FAA said that more than 200 homemade planes crashed each year. The Federal Aviation Administration was investigating homebuilt airplane crashes and including homemade helicopter crashes. There was 1 homebuilt aircraft piloted by a man in Miami Florida. The pilot contacted the air traffic controller at Charlotte County Airport in Miami that he was able to make a very soft landing on grassy areas near runway 15 but it really turned out that when his plane's landing hit the grass. It damaged the landing gear causing it to rip and made the entire aircraft flip over upside-down. FAA was investigating the homemade aircraft crash at Charlotte County Airport and said that the pilot got lucky that he was not hurt.The BD-10, is also a homebuilt aircraft for the civil aviation and for the military. BD-10 is also a supersonic aircraft that is homemade as a military jet trainer and over 300 BD-10 homemade supersonic jets crashed each year. FAA announced that the BD-10 supersonic aircraft is now illegal. FAA warned a lot of homebuilt aircraft owners about planes that are homemade and said that pilots had suffered 2% due to homemade aircraft crashes each year. And now that all homemade planes built from kit are canceled by the law. Now most people had started building homemade planes out of blueprints and learned what they are doing what to to do to make homebuilt aircraft safer to fly. It depends on how they are built to fly and how safe they are. Yes, some homebuilt aircraft are safe and other homebuilt aircraft are very dangerous to fly.
there was an airfield on Okinawa. Possession of the airfield gave US aircraft a safe landing area in the event of aircraft damage incurred over Japan during bombing runs
The perfect aircraft to use as a 'Utility Aircraft', would be any type of the Hercules Range of Aircraft.
A pilotless aircraft is called a drone.
Yes, airplanes are aircraft. However, not all aircraft are airplanes. Helicopters, blimps, and balloons are aircraft- but they are not airplanes. Airplanes are generally fixed wing machines that move through the air.
Submarines and Aircraft Carriers
An aircraft can cost anywhere from $10,000 for a old run-down homebuilt, to a few hundred million for a large transport category aircraft, like the Boeing 787.
Van's Aircraft RV-9 are two-seat, single-engine, low wing homebuilt airplanes sold in fit form by Van's Aircraft. They are used by amateur pilots for training flights or regular flights for fun.
Millions... The FAA designates several different types of aircraft based on engine type, the number of engines, aircraft weights, speeds, and more. They are too numerous to list, but the AOPA and jeppesen have a list available online... it is linked below. One type... "experimental" is intended for homebuilt or prototype aircraft, it could be said that every one of these unique aircraft is its own type.
Yes, the A 380 is a very safe aircraft.
The FAA has several restrictions on ultralight class aircraft. One of those is a speed restriction."[ an ultralight vehicle is a vehicle that:] (3) Is not capable of more than 55 knots calibrated airspeed at full power in level flight;"So any aircraft capable of more than 55 knots (about 63mph) in level flight would not fall under the ultralight category and would have to be registered as a homebuilt experimental or recreational aircraft.
Almost all aircraft are very safe, including Airbus.
The Pilot.
The pilot ! Ultimately s/he is responsible for all safety checks, passenger safety, door security and safe operation of the aircraft.
Assuming the question is about speeds, there is no simple answer. For example, a speed that is safe for a car on a winding road in wet weather would not be safe for an aircraft - the aircraft would probably stall!
It can, but it's not considered safe.
Yes. Answered it/found it myself.
