Flight Hours and Flight Crew Performance in Commercial Aviation

Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine, 2012
To examine the relationship between a pilot's flight hours and their performance.There is current debate in the aviation industry on the minimum hours required for first officers to gain before they can fly for an airline. Despite years of pilot training and licensing, there are very little data available to determine whether or not pilot performance ...

Survey of in-flight replanning performed on the flight deck

17th DASC. AIAA/IEEE/SAE. Digital Avionics Systems Conference. Proceedings (Cat. No.98CH36267), 2002
A two-part survey of pilots is summarized in which the effects of pilot reports on decision making behavior was examined. The survey involved a questionnaire on the world wide web and a more focused series of personal interviews. Replanning decisions in response to turbulence and weather were examined.

Rotorcraft Flight Performance

2023
This chapter introduces rotorcraft steady-state flight performance and stability, and we explain key concepts of the conventional helicopter as well as other rotorcraft types (tandem helicopter and compounds). Numerical models of performance estimations are provided for level flight, climb-out, and descent.

The flight performance of tsetse flies

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1975
Abstract The four species of tsetse used are shown to be aerodynamically rather similar. The wingbeat frequency, aerodynamic lift, flight duration, and number of wingbeats per flight are seen to undergo large increases during adult maturation. Tsetse can produce unusually large aerodynamic lifts, although the flight performance declines very quickly ...

THE COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY SATELLITE FLIGHT PERFORMANCE

Acta Astronautica, 1977
The Communications Technology Satellite (Hermes) was launched by NASA on 17 January 1976 as part of a joint U.S./Canadian program in which Canada designed, assembled and now operates the satellite. The satellite's primary features include a travelling wave tube (TWT) operating at a frequency of 12 Gigahertz with a power output of greater than 200 watts,

Flight Performance of a Dragonfly

Journal of Experimental Biology, 1988
ABSTRACT The dragonfly, Anaxparthenope julius (Brauer) was observed in free flight, and a theoretical analysis of flight performance at various speeds was carried out. The variation with time of forces and moments acting on wings and body in steady trimmed flight was calculated by the local circulation method.

In-flight performance of the IUE

Nature, 1978
A report on the initial performance of the IUE satellite, launched in January, 1978, is given. Attention is given to optical performance, camera performance, background corrections, photometric performance, and data reduction. Samples of high-dispersion and low-dispersion spectra are shown.
