What is the best glide speed for your training airplane?
A rule of thumb for Cessna 152s and 172s is 1.5 nautical miles per 1,000 feet of altitude above ground level. Consider experimenting to see how far your aircraft can glide. A good way to prepare for a forced landing is to practice power off approaches and landings at typical mission weights.
What is the best glide speed for a Cessna 172s?
65 KIAS
Speeds
| BEST GLIDE SPEED | 65 KIAS | |
|---|---|---|
| Max Structural Cruising Speed | Vno | 127 KIAS |
| Enroute Climb Speed | 75 – 85 KIAS | |
| Approach Speed | Vapp | 60 – 70 KIAS |
| Never Exceed | Vne | 158 KIAS |
How far can a Piper Archer glide?
Louis consulted the Piper Arrow pilot’s operating handbook (POH) and reported that at 6,000 feet above the ground, we could glide almost 10 nautical miles away. In reality, despite all checklist items properly completed, our aircraft was capable of gliding less than 6 nm.
Why must a pilot know a plane’s best glide speed?
A pilot uses best glide speed when he needs to fly the longest distance per unit of altitude lost. It is also used when the engine fails and a suitable landing place must be reached.
What speed do you land Cessna 172?
The 172S POH recommends 61 knots for a final approach speed for a short field landing, which is 9 knots faster than 1.3 X Vso. As for the Cirrus SR22T, they recommend 80-85 knots on final, and 79 knots crossing the threshold.
What is the landing speed of a 737?
The average landing speed for a Boeing 737-800 with flaps deployed is about 145 knots, but this can be higher depending on the plane’s weight. The number of flaps deployed can also vary due to crosswinds and wind shear. When landing without flaps, the speed on a 737-800 is more like 200 knots.
What is the best glide speed for a Cessna 150?
17 Cards in this Set
| Vs | 47 knots (stall speed, clean, bottom of green arc) |
|---|---|
| Vglide | 60 knots (best glide speed) |
| Short-field Landing | 52 knots (lower nose immediately after landing, apply brakes) |
| Normal Takeoff | 50 knots (65-75 knots climb out) |
| Short-field Takeoff | 50 knots rotate (steeper climb out: at 60 knots to avoid obstacles) |
How far can the E170 carry a full load?
The Advanced Range (AR) version of the E170 can carry a full load of passengers up to 2,150 nm (3,982 km).
What makes the E170 so special?
A combination of performance and efficiency. The E170 incorporates fly-by-wire technology that helps to reduce pilot workload, improves aircraft performance, simplifies systems architecture and minimizes weight and maintenance.
What is the difference between the CF34 engine and the E170?
General Electric’s CF34 engine is designed to be more efficient – CO, UHC, NOx and smoke emission margins range from 26% to an impressive 98% below ICAO Annex 16 (Volume II) CAEP/6 limits for the E170/E175. The Advanced Range (AR) version of the E170 can carry a full load of passengers up to 2,150 nm (3,982 km).
