What is an aircraft landing strip called?
its called a runway
What is A CMA violation that is a result of an unauthorized entry or erroneous occupation of a runway or other surface used for takeoff and landing of aircraft regardless of aircraft safety impact?
Runway Incursion
Fighter aircraft can stop on the shortened runway?
Fighter aircraft can stop on a short runway. On aircraft carriers, cables are used to stop them. Some fighters landing on short land runways use braking parachutes.
What is the flight path of a landing aircraft in the direction of the runway on center line called?
It's called 'flaring to a landing,' where the nose of the aircraft is brought up, raising angle of attack, lowering airspeed, until the main gear gently touch down on the runway. When speaking exclusively of that portion of the landing path, an aircraft is said to be 'flaring' or 'in the flair.'
The pavements capability for fighter aircraft to rapidly acess the runway from alert parking areas or quickly clearing the runway after landing is an example of?
Accessibility
Where is the place that aeroplanes land?
Runway, airport, airstrip, airfield, aircraft carrier.
What does taxi along the runway mean?
"Taxi along the runway" refers to the movement of an aircraft on the ground, specifically on the runway, as it prepares for takeoff or after landing. This process involves the pilot steering the aircraft using the taxiways to reach the designated takeoff or landing area. Taxiing is a crucial phase of flight operations, ensuring that the plane is safely positioned before entering the active runway.
What is a runway incursion and why is it significant?
According to the FAA, a runway incursion is "Any occurrence at an aerodrome involving the incorrect presence of an aircraft, vehicle or person on the protected area of a surface designated for the landing and take off of aircraft." It's "significant" because people get killed that way. Runway incursion results in collosion of aircraft on the ground when they are fully loaded with fuel and people. Runway incursion is when something enters an active runway. Runway excursion is when a aircraft departs a runway in error.
Do Hydraulics power wheels on an aeroplane when it taxi's on the runway?
No. The wheels on an aircraft's landing gear turn freely, and the aircraft is propelled by its propellers or turbines when taxiing.
What are the key features of an airplane landing?
When landing an aircraft, there is usually a series of basic steps one must follow to achieve success. Locating the airport, contacting the tower, and identifying the runway to begin the landing approach are the first steps. Once this is accomplished, lining up the plane with the runway, lowering the landing gear, reducing speed and dropping elevation, while keeping the aircraft somewhat level, will usually ensure a successful landing. Once on the ground, taxiing off the runway completes the process.
Does F-16 Fighting Falcon need a runway?
Yes, the F-16 is not a STOVL (short take-off vertical landing) aircraft. Not sure about the length of the runway, but it probably varies with the take-off weight of the aircraft. But the F-16 definitely needs a runway.
What is the landing speed for Boeing 727?
The landing speed for a Boeing 727 typically ranges from about 120 to 140 knots, depending on factors such as weight, configuration, and environmental conditions. Pilots adjust this speed based on the specific circumstances of the landing, including the aircraft's load and runway conditions. The final approach speed is crucial for a safe landing, ensuring the aircraft can land smoothly and within the runway limits.
