  2. Aircraft approach category - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_approach_category

    Additional speed ranges are specified for other segments of the approach. [1]: Table II-5-1-2 Table II-5-1-2 Approach plates generally include visibility requirements up to category D. [ 1 ] : II-5-1-3 While ICAO specify a top speed of 391 km/h for Category E, there exist no aircraft with an approach speed above this.

  3. Boeing 737 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_737

    The Boeing 737 is an American narrow-body aircraft produced by Boeing at its Renton factory in Washington.Developed to supplement the Boeing 727 on short and thin routes, the twinjet retained the 707 fuselage width and six abreast seating but with two underwing Pratt & Whitney JT8D low-bypass turbofan engines.

  4. V speeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_speeds

    The speed at which the pilot begins to apply control inputs to cause the aircraft nose to pitch up, after which it will leave the ground. [7] [26] [Note 1] V rot: Used instead of V R (in discussions of the takeoff performance of military aircraft) to denote rotation speed in conjunction with the term V ref (refusal speed). [19] V Ref

  5. Maneuvering speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maneuvering_speed

    In aviation, the maneuvering speed of an aircraft is an airspeed limitation at which the full deflection of the controls can be made at without risking structural damage. [1] The maneuvering speed of an aircraft is shown on a cockpit placard and in the aircraft's flight manual but is not commonly shown on the aircraft's airspeed indicator.

  6. Approach plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approach_plate

    An approach plate for the ILS or LOC approach to runway 14L at Cologne Bonn Airport, Germany. Approach plates (or, more formally, instrument approach procedure charts ) are the printed or digital charts of instrument approach procedures that pilots use to fly instrument approaches during instrument flight rules (IFR) operations.

  7. 1996 Croatia USAF CT-43 crash - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_Croatia_USAF_CT-43_crash

    The aircraft passed the final approach fix at 80 knots (150 km/h) above the proper approach speed and had not received the proper clearance from the control tower to initiate the approach. [ 7 ] The crash site, on a 2,300-foot (700 m) hill, was 1.6 miles (2.6 km) northeast of where the aircraft should have been on the inbound course to the NDB.

  8. Airfield traffic pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airfield_traffic_pattern

    The last section of the final approach is sometimes referred to as short final. Departure leg , Initial , [ 4 ] or Climb out . The climbing flight path along the extended runway centerline which begins at takeoff and continues to at least 1/2 mile beyond the runway's departure end and not less than 300 feet below the traffic pattern altitude.

  9. Boeing 737 Classic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_737_Classic

    The initial 737-300 (foreground) is 9 ft 5 in (2.87 m) longer than the 737-200 (background) and is re-engined with wider and more efficient CFM56 turbofans. Following the success of the Boeing 737-200 Advanced, Boeing wanted to increase capacity and range, incorporating improvements to upgrade the plane to modern specifications, while also retaining commonality with previous 737 variants.
