When flying an IFR flight heading 135 - what is a legal cruising altitude?
During IFR flight, ATC will dictate cruising altitude.
You will fly a VFR flight heading 245 - what is a legal cruising altitude?
We will fly a VFR flight heading 245 - what is a legal cruising altitude?
What is the average cruising altitude of a 747?
The cruising altitude of a 747 depends on weather conditions, weight of the aircraft, and the amount of traffic on the other flight levels. Its average cruising altitude is around 33,000 feet.
What is the cruising altitude of airbus a319?
I've been looking a lot too, and I have found no results, however I know that the very similar model the a320 has a typical cruising altitude for long haul flights of FL390. (39,000 feet) Since the a319 is very similar but smaller, I would suggest around FL360 for a typical cruising altitude, but I am not a professional. The cruising altitude also heavily depends on the length of the flight. If it is a shorter flight, the lower recommended cruising altitude etc. And the temperature and weather is also a contributing factor, but FL360 would be a safe bet as to the a319's typical cruising altitude. Hope I could help.
What If a flight is made from an area of low pressure into an area of high pressure without the altimeter setting being adjusted the altimeter will indicate?
lower than the actual altitude above sea level.
Which VFR cruising altitude is acceptable for a flight on a Victor Airway with a magnetic course of 175?
5,500 feet.
Why you have flight level in aviation?
Flight levels exist in aviation to make high altitude flying easier on pilots and controllers. First, some background. Since the altimeter uses atmospheric pressure to measure altitude, weather conditions can effect the reading on an altimeter. For example, if a high pressure system comes in, the altimeter in the aircraft would read lower than you actually are. For that reason, whenever a pilot gets in an airplane, he has to set the altimeter to the correct atmospheric pressure. As the pilot flies, Air Traffic Control will give him updated altimeter settings for the area he is in. However, once you get high enough, your actual altitude doesn't really matter; you only need to know altitude so ATC can keep you separated from other aircraft. For that reason, upon passing 18000 feet, all pilots reset their altimeter to the standard setting of 29.92 inches Hg. This relieves controllers and pilots from constantly recalibrating their altimeters, while still keeping aircraft separated. The distinction between an altitude measured by local altimeter settings versus the standard setting is "Flight Level". Any altitude below 18000 ft will be given by ATC as "feet" (exe. "Climb and maintain one-one thousand feet"); where any altitude above 18000 ft will be given as a flight level (exe. "Climb and maintain flight level two-six-zero). Flight level numbers are given in feet times 100, so FL 260 would be the equivalent of 26000 ft.
What does climbout mean in airplanes?
Climb out is the phase of flight which begins immediately after takeoff and continues until the airplane levels off at its cruising altitude.
How many gallons of fuel does a large jet burn per hour?
Varies between aircraft however a Boeing 747 at cruising altitude normally burns around 24,000 lbs p/hour for all 4 engines, this is only at cruising altitude and varies at different points during the flight
How can height of flying airplane be determined?
In the plane, the pilot is advised of his altitude by means of an altimeter. The altimeter registers height by sensing the barometric pressure at the altitude at which the plane is flying. This is done by a pi tot (pronounced "pee tot") tube assemble mounted to the outside of the plane. The tube samples the air outside the plane and the altimeter basis it's reading on this information. However, the pilot must set his altimeter base line from information from the weather service prior to flight and be aware any changes during flight. Another means of determining aircraft altitude is with RADAR. RADAR is sound waves sent out from a broadcast antennae and is bounced off an object in the air. by calculating the time it takes to get a "return" signal man or machine can tell height, distance, number, and size.
Instrument used for measuring the flight distance from earth?
altimeter
What is the cruising altitude from JFK to LAX airport?
There is no "defined" cruising altitude for any flight or route. It depends on the type of aircraft, it's weight, and the wind among other factors. Typically, flights from the East to West coast initlally level off around 34,000 feet and then later climb to 36,000/38,000/40,000 feet as they burn fuel and get lighter.
