What type of US aircraft did the Soviets shoot down over Soviet Airspace in 1960?
Under Eisenhower in 1960 one of our U-2 spy planes crashed in Soviet airspace, causing worsening tensionsbetween the two superpowers. Khrushchev canceled a meeting between him and Eisenhower in Washington D.C. because Eisenhower admitted to violating Soviet airspace and was unapologetic.
What is AEW aircraft?
'AEW' Stands for 'Airborne Early Warning' and are aircraft that have radar and surveillance facilities on-board, as used by air forces across the world. Such aircraft usually have a manned control centre on board where radar data is monitored by operatives. AEWACS is a variation on the 'AEW' abbreviation meaning 'Airborne Early Warning And Control System' which acknowledges the ability of the aircraft to also control the surrounding airspace with the radar data provided. AEW aircraft usually have large radar's mounted on the fuselage, some looking like flying causers on the back of the aircraft.
Are you allowed to fly over area 51?
I don't believe so, that's probably miltary airspace.
What is an utility aircraft?
The perfect aircraft to use as a 'Utility Aircraft', would be any type of the Hercules Range of Aircraft.
What is a plotter and who is a plotter and who is most likely to use one?
It depends on which type of plotter you're asking about. It could be a navigational instrument used for calculating a boat's passage or it could be someone who is planning to perform some underhand deed or it could be someone who tracked incoming enemy aircraft during World War 2.
What the slowest speed for aircraft in Class D airspace?
I don't think there are limits to how slow an aircraft can fly in any airspace.
How long before and after a presidential aircraft lands can you do an exercise?
There's no single answer for this. When a presidential aircraft moves, the government declares airspace restrictions. (If the airspace belongs to a country other than the one the president runs, that government will declare airspace restrictions as a diplomatic gesture.)
What are the different classes of aviation airspace?
Airspace in the US is classified into the following categories: A, B, C, D, E, and G. The airspace is ordered from Class A-Tightest control to Class G-No control. Class A airspace is anywhere from 18000 feet to flight lever 600 (approx. 60000 feet); all aircraft in class A airspace must fly IFR (instrument flight rules) and stay in contact with ATC. The required separation is also greater in class A airspace. Class B airspace surrounds larger airports, and consists of 3 or more "shelves". Class B airspace looks somewhat like an upside down wedding cake. In Class B airspace, all aircraft require a specific clearance to enter or fly through the airspace. Class C airspace Surrounds smaller airports, and looks like an upside down cake with only two layers. Aircraft entering class C airspace need only establish two way radio contact with ATC before entering. Class D airspace has the same restrictions as class C, but has only one layer. Class E airspace encompass everything from 1200 feet to 18000 feet that is not Class B, C, D, or, G. Sometimes the base elevation is lower or higher that 1200 feet, but 1200 is the normal base. Class E also encompasses everything above Flight Level 600. VFR (visual flight rules) aircraft are not required to contact ATC in class E airspace. IFR aircraft maintain ACT contact in class E. Class G airspace is uncontrolled, and usually extends to anything below 1200 feet. Even IFR aircraft do not contact ATC in class G airspace.
Do military aircraft disable their transponder becon when flying in enemy airspace?
Military aircrafts don't disable their transponder beacon when flying in enemy airspace, they change the settings on it though.
What aircraft did the Soviets shoot down in Soviet airspace?
The Lockheed U-2 flown by Gary Powers .
In flight which takes precidence in airspace usage Civilian Aircraft or military aircraft?
It depends on the national state of emergency. If there is a state of national emergency then all civilian aircraft are usually grounded and the military have precedence.
What is matz?
You'd have to be a bit more specific, but I believe it is MATZ (Military Aerodrome Traffic Zone), the airspace surrounding a UK military aerodrome. The airspace is to provide protection to military aircraft traffic in the critical stages of circuit, landing and takeoff.
What are the basic VFR weather minimums for operating an aircraft within Class D airspace are?
1,000-foot ceiling and 3 miles visibility.
What type of US aircraft did the Soviets shoot down over Soviet Airspace in 1960?
Under Eisenhower in 1960 one of our U-2 spy planes crashed in Soviet airspace, causing worsening tensionsbetween the two superpowers. Khrushchev canceled a meeting between him and Eisenhower in Washington D.C. because Eisenhower admitted to violating Soviet airspace and was unapologetic.
What is the difference between radar identification and radar contact?
Radar identified refers to your aircraft's position presented on a ground based radar screen and by using a squawk code in the aircraft which corresponds to the ground based station your aircraft is then identified. Radar control refers to an aircraft already identified on the radar screen and flying in controlled airspace under an IFR flight plan and the ground based station would provide heading, speed and altitude you should fly at.
How earth's curvature impacts flight path?
Yes and no. Geography itself does not affect where aircraft are routed, but factors such as weather and airspace capacity will affect flight paths.
What is international airspace?
Airspace is the part of the atmosphere that is controlled by the country below. For international airspace, the sovereign airspace of a country matches the maritime territorial limits and the space not in those limits is considered international airspace.
