Episode 10

Episode 10: Episode 10: on my way back from Lima to Houston, I got a chance to visit the cockpit and see the pilots of a Boeing 767 300 ER In the cockpit. I got to see all the instruments and even turn on the seatbelt sign. When I went into the cockpit, I entered right after I boarded. I went into the cockpit, saw the pilots, and even saw them turning on the engines, the flats and slats for takeoff. Next, the first officer printed out an eight course paper which consisted of all the takeoff data of a Boeing 767 300 e r it includes V one speeds, the two speeds and the R speeds. It also has flaps, slat and thrust configurations for takeoff. If you do not know what v1, v2 speeds are The V one speed is the speed at which pilots can no longer abort the takeoff without a runway overrun. The V speed. Or more commonly known as the rotate speed Is the speed at which the wings have produced enough lift for the pilots to pull back on their yoke and lift the plane into the sky. The V2 speed is the speed that you must maintain or be faster than to avoid an aerodynamic stal. I am now going to tell you guys all about ACARS or aircraft communicating a dressing report system. A system that pilots use to get weather information. Takeoff and landing data. And all the very important pieces of information. Every aspect of flight. For instance, if you were flying from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to LAX or Los Angeles International Airport, you need many kinds of critical information to have a safe flight. For example, you need whether the v1 v2 speeds on landing data like landing speed flap configuration, slat configuration amount of reverse thrust, etc.. Let's take a look at whether. you are landing at LAX Airport from your flight in from Seattle, you need weather. So you would go into the flight computer, hit the A.C. switch, and then enter the four letter code for the airport. In this case, it's K, L, A, X This works for weather, takeoff and landing data.
