Answer: You won't have to fly the aircraft without any payload (empty) during the competition, but the aircraft must be able to fly without a "payload insert", ie. It can't be a required part of the aircraft structure.

Answer: The payload deployment MUST be controlled by the RC Tx/Rx system. No physical "intervention" is allowed. Question: Can the antenna and mount for the Decoy mission (A) be left installed on the aircraft when flying the other missions. Question: Can fairings be applied to the fuselage that "in effect" fair the antenna if they remain at least the specified 3" away. Answer: No.

nas air operates the Airbus 320 which is designed for reliability,safety, easy and cost-effective maintenance schedule based on standards approved by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Transport Canada. The Airbus 320’s improved fuel efficiency, extra capacity, and innovations means better performance and reliability. Ultimately more savings that we can pass onto you.

Question: If battery power fails can an immediate landing be made without making a complete lap (question paraphrased by editor) Answer: First priority is safety of personnel, followed by minimizing damage to facilities and equipment. If power fails unexpectedly the pilot will setup for as safe an emergency landing as possible. If the plane does not pass the downwind pylon that sortie's payload will not count, but any prior sorties will still be credited toward the overall score.

Answer: Fairing/Cones may not be added to the box. For the sensor deployment mission only the box may leave the aircraft. The exception is that a lower "hatch" may be released separately and does not need to be replace providing the aircraft is structurally and aerodynamically able to fly the remaining mission without it. Also, to prevent jettisoning half of the fuselage, the "hatch" must be no larger in planform than the box planform plus ?" in length and width.

Answer: For this year payload MAY NOT be carried internal to the wing. That does not prohibit the payload bay extending between the wing panels in the "wing carry over" area, as long as it is entirely inside the fuselage structure. Answer: The 40A limit can be considered as a system wide current limit. No motor or battery may see more than a 40A current. Therefore, if you have two separate packs feeding two separate motors, each motor/pack would have a 40A (max) fuse.

TajAir has a fleet of 2 Falcon 2000 aircraft manufactured by Dassault, France. With an optimum speed of 0.8 mach, the Falcon 2000 is the best executive jet in its class. Our fleet is just over 7 years old, making it the youngest fleet in India. The Falcon 2000 was originally designed to seat 16 passengers in an economy configuration. We have reconfigured the aircraft to ensure more room for 8 passengers.

ImagineAir operates a fleet of Cirrus SR22's, "GTS edition". The Eclipse 500 very light jets will be introduced in early 2008.

Answer: The payload elements must be enclosed except for the sampler tube inlet and outlet as specified in the rules (the entire sampler tube may not be external, only the sections specified in the rules), and at least ? of the softball (also defined in the rules). You may use payload specific fairings provided they are not structural and are such that the aircraft could still fly (possibly with ballast, see #5 above) without either payload being present.

Young Eagle flights can take place in nearly any type of aircraft. Most are flown in small fixed-wing aircraft (for instance, Cessnas and Pipers) but sometimes other aircraft are used..

You bet. Lock On will include a custom payload editor for all flyable aircraft. After the players have created a loadout configuration, they will have the ability to save it and use if for future missions.

A wide-body aircraft has a wider fuselage, or tube, than a narrow-body aircraft, meaning that it gives passengers a wider cabin and a larger feeling of space. The easiest way to tell if you are flying in a wide-body aircraft is to count the number of aisles there are – two aisles means you're flying a wide body, one-aisle means you're in a narrow body.

Conventional pilot training is a tremendous asset when learning to fly ultralights but some habits will have to be changed. They have much less mass and inertia and thus do not retain airspeed as long as other aircraft. Control response time is often quicker so the regular pilot may tend to flare for the landing much to early. Also, headwinds and crosswinds have a much greater effect and can more easily spoil your navigation and use up all your fuel.

Depending upon the aircraft, the pilot's discretion, the flight conditions, and the young person's abilities and interest, Young Eagles may be able to handle the controls for a portion of the flight. If this is possible on a particular flight, it is always done only after a safe altitude and flight condition is reached, and under the pilot's close supervision and instruction.

Allegiant Air operates the McDonnell-Douglas MD 82/83 and McDonnell-Douglas MD 87 series aircraft. Both are powered by two (2) tail-mounted Pratt & Whitney turbofan engines.

Inside a thermal, you fly circles or figure 8's. It depends on the size of the thermal which is basicly a column of rising warm air.

Answer: Yes the rumor is true. You must have a background check before you may start training to obtain a rating or license is the US. Or to be more correct, TSA must acknowledge to us (the school) or you that they have received a check for $ 130, fingerprints and the application. You may do this yourself before traveling, or we gladly take care of it after your arrival. It is a rather simple procedure.

While the it is true that the majority of people learning to fly are male, there is an increasing number of women in aviation these days. The Australian Women Pilots' Association aims to encourage and assist women achieve their goals in aviation. We have a number of women flying at Airborne Aviation, and in recent times have had female flying instructors on staff.

The Snowbirds fly the Canadair CT-114 Tutor, a Canadian-built jet that was used by the Canadian Forces as a basic pilot-training aircraft form 1963 until 2000. The Tutor weighs approximately 7,170 lbs (3,260 kg) and is powered by a J-85 engine producing 2,700 pounds of thrust.

The hilltop of Clearwater Bay Road is within the ??East Pass Outbound?? passage of air traffic, which is used by light aircraft and helicopters. Operators of model aircraft should therefore ensure the safe passage of such air traffic, especially in poor weather conditions when pilots are forced to fly much lower than usual.

Except with Civil Aviation Department??s endorsement, heavy model aircraft are not allowed to fly in Hong Kong.

For most of our work, we fly a Cessna 177 "Cardinal", a four-seat, single engine airplane. We own the aircraft which enables us to fly at a moment's notice. The Cardinal is a popular platform for aerial photography due to its balance of speed and maneuverability. For very low level aerial photography (between 100-300 feet above the ground), or in areas where terrain is a factor, we use a helicopter.
