  2. Flight test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_test

    Since commercial aircraft development is normally funded by the aircraft manufacturer and/or private investors, the certifying agency does not have a stake in the commercial success of the aircraft. These civil agencies are concerned with the aircraft's safety and that the pilot's flight manual accurately reports the aircraft's performance.

  3. V speeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_speeds

    Maximum landing gear operating speed. This is the maximum speed at which the landing gear on a retractable gear aircraft should be extended or retracted. [7] [9] [20] V LOF: Lift-off speed. [7] [9] V MC: Minimum control speed. The minimum speed at which the aircraft is still controllable with the critical engine inoperative. [7]

  4. Flight envelope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_envelope

    As the aircraft gains altitude the stall speed increases; since the wing is not growing any larger the only way to support the aircraft's weight with less air is to increase speed. While the exact numbers will vary widely from aircraft to aircraft, the nature of this relationship is typically the same; plotted on a graph of speed (x-axis) vs ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_minimum_equipment_list

    Minimum equipment lists are issued to specific aircraft and specific operators. In order to use a minimum equipment list, that specific company must receive a letter of authorization from the civil aviation authorities of the countries where the aircraft will operate. A minimum equipment list is required in the United States by the Federal ...

  9. Microwave landing system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_landing_system

    The microwave landing system (MLS) is an all-weather, precision radio guidance system intended to be installed at large airports to assist aircraft in landing, including 'blind landings'. [1] MLS enables an approaching aircraft to determine when it is aligned with the destination runway and on the correct glidepath for a safe landing.
