What else can I help you with?
What is a cruising altitude why?
Cruising altitude is an economical height for an aircraft to fly. It is also a choice made in view of other aircraft routes.
In aviation terms what is DA?
DA-Decision Altitude. It is the lowest an aircraft can fly on an (precision) instrument approach. At that height the pilot must be able to see the runway or landing light system or else he has to initiate a missed approach
Can you raise and increase the landing ground margin of Boeing 747 landing gear?
If you grossly overcharged the struts of the landing gear you could increase the ride height of the aircraft, but it could lead to damage to the aircraft due to the lack of 'give' when landing and it would be very uncomfortable for those on board. It would not therefore be sensible.
Is an instrument used especially in an aircraft for meausuring altitude?
Yes, it is called an altimeter. There are two types: pressure and radar. Pressure altimeters use barometric pressure to calculate height above sea level or MSL. Radar Altimeters use Radio signals to calculate height above ground level. They are usually only used during approach to landing and are rarely found on lighter aircraft.
How is elevation different from altitude?
Elevation refers to the height of a point on the Earth's surface relative to sea level, while altitude is the height of an object above the Earth's surface in the sky. Elevation is commonly used in geography to describe the height of land features like mountains, while altitude is often used in aviation to refer to the height of an aircraft above the ground.
What is Category 1 Instrument Landing System?
Category 1 Instrument Landing System (ILS) is a precision approach system used for landing aircraft in reduced visibility conditions. It provides both horizontal and vertical guidance to help pilots align the aircraft with the runway for landing. Category 1 ILS allows for a decision height of 200 feet and a minimum visibility of 1,800 feet for most commercial aircraft.
Does height effects speed?
The altitude at which an aircraft is travelling does affect its speed because the thinner atmosphere causes less aerodynamic drag.
What is a normal altitude?
Normal altitude refers to the typical height above sea level at which an aircraft flies during a flight. For commercial airplanes, cruising altitude ranges from 30,000 to 40,000 feet. Smaller aircraft typically fly at lower altitudes, between 5,000 and 10,000 feet.
Is the height of a triangle an altitude?
No, an altitude is a height above sea level.
Can an odometer be used to determine the altitude of mountains?
An odometer is for distance travelled, not height. You need something sensitive to changes in atmospheric pressure, a barometer, for measuring altitude. Altimeters as fitted to aircraft are in effect barometers.
What is the maximum altitude of a barrage balloon?
The maximum altitude of a barrage balloon is typically around 15,000 feet (4,500 meters). This height allows the balloon to effectively discourage low-flying aircraft from targeting ground units.
How much height an aircraft can fly?
The maximum height flown by an aircraft is 37650m(123524ft). The aircraft is Mig-25 Foxbat.
