What happens to an aircraft that climbs above its maximum altitude and how do pilots deal with a high and low-speed stall?

  • I am a Physics teacher in New York and I can't thank you enough for explaining so much of the piloting in Physics terms. The reason why a maneuver is needed is so much more informative than simply what the maneuver is. Your series is wonderful, thanks! I will be playing this one for my students.

    • @@lbj2320 no, eventually, by doing nothing else, teachers start to accept what isn't really understandable. It becomes autosufficient, selfexplanatory, obvious. That's why teachers are so bad at explaining things. They can't put themselves into a mind that does not understand. They give explanations that don't fit all (extreme) situations. That's why Newton got overruled by Einstein, and that's why Einstein's theories last so long. Those teachers can't think anymore outside of the borders they set themselves into. A smart guy is someone who can think outside of the borders of his speciality, someone creative. Teaching and Creativity are antonyms.

Needs to be sunny and you need to be really in a good jetstream. Its like a line coming straight up from the engine right on the top of the curve of the nacelle - its very small but if you know where to look you can see it.

(Pressure X Volume = number of moles X ideal gas constant X temperature) You began with speaking about air speed and pitot tubes. You mentioned that the pitot tubes measure the number of molecules entering the tube. Now when you say number of molecules 'n' (number of moles) I.e. the number of moles in the sample of air I immediately questioned that because it doesn't actually measure the number of molecules directly, however, it is relative to it (indirectly)... n in air = mass / Molar Mass n in air = approx 28.96 g/mol

  • interesting tidbit i saw on YT: a pilot attacked a german bomber formation, diving thru it. when he attempted roll out he had no controls. when he was nearly on the deck control returned and he pulled out at grass-cutting altitude. engineers later thought he'd entered near or at supersonic speed, as the sonic pressure wave ahead of his wings and stabilizers swept the air above/under and around his control surfaces so he couldn't maneuver. the higher air pressure at low altitude dampened the effect, such that he could regain control. i immediately thought of this during this vid. excellent as usual!

We were late for getting to Washington National, which closes down at night for noise reduction to nearby neighborhoods.

    • My wife has run payrolls for 47 years, starting long before the days of computers. If you had a problem with your pay, she would look at the whole year, since figures are accumulative. This means that all the figures for month 5 are your totals to month 5 minus your totals to month 4. Since computerization, many staff do not fully understand fully how the system operates, and when a mistake occurs, their attempts to correct it simply add further errors, rather than address the original problem. Sadly automation if flying has created a similar situation, leaving pilots hazy about the root cause of the situation they are in. While a mistake in you salary may involve waiting for another paycheck, a similar mistake by pilots may mean that you never need another paycheck. One major European airline still insist that pilots regularly fly manually and keep their knowledge active. As a result, they have not had a crash or persons injured in more than 50 years. Although their safety record is better than Qantas, they feel that it is wrong to advertise safety. I wonder whether you can work out which airline.??? One obvious clue is that you wont find them in any air crash videos. LOL.

Injury figures can be very misleading, since a twisted ankle while boarding, or even a broken finger nail closing the overhead lockers gets included in the statistics. (Many of these claims are false) Serious injury is where someone is kept in the hospital ward after treatment. It is therefore the true figure.

    • Correct but you forget that we don't want to maximise the glide, unless we are out over the sea. We want to choose something that is comfortably in range and enables us to extend flaps and gear as well. We generally calculate on 3 times our altitude for descend calculations + 1 nm fro each 10kt to decelerate down to 200kt.

    • Also from me, many thanks for this video, I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I'm not an ATPL and have never flown a commercial jet. Still I have a quick question on over-speed/stall-speed at cruising altitudes in A/P config with Mach number speed set (ie. 0.77). I was wondering: Is it true that while flying in such a config, an over-speed/stall-speed situation should never occur as the Mach number is always relative to altitude? Thx mate, keep the vids going? Love them!

The U-2 pilot said, if you turned at max altitude, your inner wing could be at a low-speed stall while your outer wing would be at a high-speed stall. Talk about walking on the edge of a razor!

  • so here is a question: what's the difference between: * TAS (True Airspeed) * IAS (Indicated Airspeed) * CAS (Callibrated Airspeed) * GS (Ground Speed) Some are more obvious than others, but I never understood the difference between calibrated and indicated. The way I understand is it IAS is the speed relative to the outside air movement and pressure. So basically proportional to the back pressure in the pitot tubes. TAS is the physical distance you move in standing air divided by the time it takes. GS is the physical distance you move on the ground divided by the time it takes. wikipedia says: Calibrated airspeed (CAS) is the IAS corrected for instrument and position error. what does that mean? Shouldn't instruments (like the pitot tubes) be giving the correct readings (pressure) in the first place? And if you don't know the error (because the measurements you're getting are imprecise to begin with), how do you correct for it? And if you do know the error, why is that not factored into the measurement to begin with?

    @FalcoGer@FalcoGer5 жыл бұрын
    • Try this. Indicated Airspeed (IAS) is whatever you see on the airspeed indicator. It's also the speed of the "relative wind" that factors into lift and drag. Calibrated Airspeed (CAS) is IAS corrected for "position errors" that occur in measurement of pitot and static pressure as a result of normal changes in aircraft attitude (like nose up at low speed and less so at cruise). True Airspeed (TAS) is IAS corrected for density of the air mass through which the airplane is actually flying. The atmosphere becomes less dense as altitude increases. Less dense air develops less pressure in the pitot tubes. As the airplane climbs to higher density altitudes, IAS will lag behind the actual "True" speed in the airmass by about 2% per 1,000 feet. IAS is what you fly the airplane by. CAS is an engineering measurement of no use whatever to the pjlot (outside of oral and written exams). TAS is the actual speed in tbe airmass, which you'll use along with wind direction and velocity to calculate groundspeed, ETA, and range.

  • It is called buffet margin by my airline. We always want enough buffet margin so if we hit a little turbulence we would not stall or overspeed. I flew the DC-10-10 and the DC-10-30 The -10 had much smaller engines but the same wing. We could climb the -10 and it would just stop going up due to not enough power but we were still well below the max altitude for the weight with plenty of buffet margin. The -30 had much bigger engines and we had the power to climb to an altitude that would put us in danger of not having enough buffet margin. I also flew the 767-200, -300 and the 767-200. The 757 has the power to climb too high for the weight. The 767 -200 does not have enough power to fly too high for the weight.
