An altimeter
Why are airplanes pressurised?
Modern airliners and aircraft that fly above 15,000 feet are required to be pressurized because the oxygen levels at such high altitudes are not sufficient for the human body's needs. If much time is spent above these altitudes without pressurization or supplemental oxygen, hypoxia can result. The symptoms of hypoxia, or a lack of oxygen in the bloodstream, include nausea, discoloration, disorientation, and severe headaches. Not all airplanes are pressurized, however. Pressurization is limited to airliners, private jets, expensive personal aircaft, and high-altitude military aircraft. An alternative to pressurization is supplemental oxygen masks connected to oxygen tanks somewhere in the aircraft. Pilots are required to wear oxygen masks when flying above 12,500 feet for any longer than 30 minutes. At 14,000 feet, pilots are required to use supplemental oxygen at all times. At 15,000 feet, everyone on board must have supplemental oxygen.
Are pilot operating handbooks aircraft specific?
Aircraft and airline specific.
Why are flights high today?
This is because of 2 primary reasons: 1. Aircraft use less fuel at higher altitudes, making it more efficient to fly so high. 2. Aircraft can fly faster at higher altitudes due to the air becoming less dense. There is less friction between the air and the skin of the aircraft, so you need less power to reach the same speed in comparison with low altitudes.
Why white cloud when aircraft fly?
its because of micro crystalline ice formation at high altitudes due to exhaust gases (Vapor) from the aircraft engine
What effect does oparating an aileron have on aircraft?
Operating the ailerons will cause the aircraft to roll.
What is operating weight of an aircraft?
dry operating weight + take off fuel
Balloons forced German aircraft to fly at higher altitudes and thus decreased their bombing accuracy.?
Blimps
These balloons forced German aircraft to fly at higher altitudes and thus decreased their bombing accuracy.?
barrage
How are aircraft controlled in flight?
Aircraft are controlled in flight by the use of main control stick operating the ailerons and elevator, and the rudder pedals operating the rudder.
What level do most airplanes fly?
Commercial, jet engined aircraft, such as the 747, fly at approximately 40 000 feet. Propeller aircraft fly at lower altitudes
What do you mean by SSID IN aviation?
SSID: Supplemental Structural Inspection Document. This is (Aircraft Manufacturers such as "Boeing") a supplement to the inspection procedure and limitations manual; incorporating structural deviations of the aircraft i.e. "Main Cargo Door" on an Freighter Aircraft
