What is the rate of climb and rate of descent of a passenger airplane?

Depending on the aircraft but most jets and passenger aircraft have a safe climb speed of anywhere between 1800 and 3000 feet per minute. A safe and sensible descent rate for the same aircraft may be between 800 and 2000 feet per minute.

What is the variometer?
A variometer is a device that is used for indicating the rate of the aircraft's descent or climb.
Should an airplane be trimmed in a climb to maintain climb rate or should you have to constantly apply upward force?
To avoid the possibility of "muscle memory" causing the pilot to execute the climb unevenly the aircraft should be trimmed to maintain the climb until the climb is done.
What is the purpose of spoilers on an airplane?
Spoilers are intended to reduce lift by spoiling smooth air flow over the top of a wing. This is to give a faster rate of descent safely.
Do things sink at the same rate in H2O?
No, their rate of descent depends on their "negative bouyancy"...
A hot air ballon begins its descent at a rate of 22 1 2 feet per minute how long will it take for the ballons elevation to change by -901 feet what is its rate of descent?
It is approx 40 minutes and 3 seconds. The rate of descent is 22.5 feet per minute!
Is it legal to do weightless flights on a private plane?
Yes, but not advisable unless the plane is designed for aerobatic flying. There is nothing illegal about rapidly descending which would be required for a weightless condition. The rate of descent is at the pilots descretion. He should not overload the airplane.
A hot air balloon descended 99.6 meters in 12 seconds what was the balloons average rate of descent in meters per second?
"Rate of descent" is a speed; so the idea is to divide the distance by the time.
At how many feet per second does an airplane fall?
Aircraft climb when they start flying and decend when they land. This is usually at a very small rate ( to avoid upsetting the passengers). If you are talking about an aircraft landing then 500 feet per minute is about right
Is the wet rate always lower than the dry rate?
For airplane rentals, no. Since the wet rate includes fuel.
What private jet has the fastest rate of climb?
lear 60
Where is Hillary's Chimney?
it take 40 day to climb from mt. everest base camp to the summit. it is a distance of approximately 67,257 feet. what would the rate be in feet per day if you climb at the same rate each day?
How much fuel does an airplane utilize during takeoff?
The amount of fuel consumed varies by aircraft, thrust settings, wind direction and speed relative to the airplane, weight, density of the air, temperature, flap settings, take off roll distance, climb rate and other factors. It can vary from 1.6 gallons for small recreational aircraft to over 1200 gallons for large aircraft such as the Antonov An-225.
