What else can I help you with?
Why did the allies choose Normandy as the site for d-day invasion and why was the landing at Omaha beach so much more difficult than expected?
The Allies chose Normandy as the Germans were not expecting landing there.
What is landing of airplane?
Landing an airplane is difficult. For more aircraft question feel welcome to email me at denisrunescape@lycos.com Only aircraft questions please. I am a pilot. Ok to land a plane the speed level brake and flaps must be on 0% position The plane will slowly descend down while your goal is to stay into the air. When you reached the runway Your speed should be around 70 knots. Lift the nose up while the wing flaps are down. The plane will slowly descend down and there is your first landing
How does electrical landing gear work?
Electrical landing gear operates using electric motors and actuators to deploy and retract the landing gear of an aircraft. When the pilot activates the landing gear control, an electrical signal triggers the motors, which move the gear into position. This system is often preferred for its reliability and reduced weight compared to hydraulic systems. Additionally, electrical landing gear can offer more precise control and easier maintenance.
Do more planes crash on takeoff or landing?
Landing
Why is Vlo lower than Vle?
Vlo = Maximum landing gear operating speed (do not exceed this speed while the landing gear is operaing) Vle = Maximum landing gear extended speed (do not exceed this speed while the landing gear is extended) When the landing gear is fully retracted or fully extended it is locked into position and is more resistant to damage from high airspeeds. When the landing gear is in the process of extending or retracting (operating) there is no locking mechanism, and the only thing resisting the airflow is the extension/retraction mechanisms. Additionally, on some aircraft, the landing gear may swing or swivel in odd directions in order to tuck into their recesses, this can cause odd aerodynamic behavoir in the rest of the aircraft if done at high speeds. Once the landing gear is extended, it is rare that a pilot would then exceed Vlo. Most of the time the landing gear is lowered shortly before landing and the pilot is doing everything he can to slow the aircraft further. However in the event that an aircraft had to be flown a long distance with the landing gear extended (such as a ferry flight to a repair facility) the pilot would go ahead & fly Vle.
Do planes need to take off and land into the wind?
Air passing over the wings created a vacuum between that airflow and the wing surface - This creates light allowing the place to climb - When no wind is passing over the wing the pilot will in effect fall) Taking off and landing INTO the wind (so the wind is blowing at the aircraft) allows for more lift and stability
What happens as the pilot gets closer to the speed of sound?
The airplane becomes more difficult to fly because there is more drag from air molecules
Under what situations would a plane need to make an emergency landing?
There are actually more reasons than one would think that would make an emergency landing necessary. Bad weather can cause problems necessitating an emergency landing; hail and heavy rains can cause engine failure, ice forming on a plane in winter can force an emergency landing, and tornadoes and hurricanes can cause problems resulting in emergency landings in warmer weather. Medical and police emergencies can be a factor, as can mechanical problems with the plane itself. There has even been an instance, Samuel L. Jackson's movie aside, where a pilot had to make an emergency landing due to a snake on the plane. The pilot landed the plane after a passenger was bitten by a cobra he had smuggled on board.
Is an airplane going faster when it lands or takes off?
Most of the time it travels faster at the point it takes off than at the moment it touches down. During take-off, the airplane uses as much power to ensure it has extra airspeed so it can handle any emergency, such as an engine failure. Whereas during landing, the only concern is to maintain sufficient altitude to reach the airport. Theoretically, the airplane is designed to fly at a minium airpseed and it doesn't matter what it is doing. During Take-off, the aircraft is heavier than it is during landing. Generally, during landing the airplanes uses more flaps to slow it down. For the comfort of the passengers, the pilot likes to land as gently as possible. Faster when taking off, slower when landing. Generally speaking, when taking off, an aircraft weighs more, is more performance limited (i.e., needs to be able to clear obstacles during climb out), and also needs additional speed in the event of emergency. During landings, the aircraft is lighter and needs to slow down as much as possible (through the use of flaps, etc.) to shorten the landing distance.
What is 'war' in Japanese?
Possibly a pilot, more specifically, possibly a kamikazi pilot.

Family Feud Answers (please dont erase) 1 - Wings 2 - Oxygen Masks 3 - Pilot 4 - Jet Engine 5 - Landing Gear 6 - A lot more Seats
What qualifications are needed for aviation school?
Requirements are difficult from university to university.Some are: 18 years, Highschool diploma, valid Student Pilot Certificate, TOEFL and some more such as good eye sight.
