The Legacy 450’s flat-floor cabin accommodates seven or eight passengers, depending on whether the customer stays with the standard seven-seats layout or opts for the two-place divan. Half-club pairs of single seats can be rotated back- to-back and then recline together to form a sleeping surface. Both the Legacy 450 and Legacy 500 share the same lavatory design and size, featuring a solid door, vanity, basin and vacuum toilet.

The July 1989 United Airlines DC-10 accident in Sioux City, Iowa and the November 2003 missile attack on the DHL A-300 departing Baghdad are examples where the crew lost all hydraulically powered flight controls. In both cases, the flight crew regained flight path control using throttles only, and were able to bring the airplane to a less than precise touchdown at an airport. Modern aircraft are exceptionally well designed, numerous systems failures, including rapid particularly from the standpoint of reliability and decompression, the crew had to deal with large pitch redundancy in the flight control system.

Two suction surfaces were studied--aslotted aluminum glove concept and a woven stainless steel mesh porous glove concept. The laminar flow control glove and a dummy glove with a modified supercritical airfoil, ducting, modified wing leading and trailing edges, modified flaps and an LFC trim tab were applied to the wing after slot spacing suction parameters, and compression power were determined. The results of the study show that a laminar flow control glove can be applied to the wing of a jet transport with an appropriate suction system installed.

  • National Transportation Safety Board Aviation Accident Final Report
    National Transportation Safety Board Aviation Accident Final Report Location: COLO SPRINGS, CO Accident Number: FTW98FA074 Date & Time: 12/21/1997, 0626 MST Registration: N100BE Aircraft: Beech A100 Aircraft Damage: Destroyed Defining Event: Injuries: 2 Fatal, 1 Serious Flight Conducted Under: Part 135: Air Taxi & Commuter - Non-scheduled Analysis The pilot was cleared for an ILS DME approach to runway 17L. During the final stage of the approach, the aircraft entered fog and disappeared from view of the control tower personnel. Radar and radio communications were lost also. After searching for 31 minutes, the aircraft was found by airport operations personnel over half way down the runway and 600 feet east of the runway. There was no evidence the aircraft touched down on the runway. The aircraft was configured with the landing gear up and the flaps deployed. Missed approach procedures require the flaps and landing gear to be retracted after initiating the procedure. The decision height for the approach is 6,384 feet msl (200 feet above ground level) and the required RVR for a 14 CFR Part 135 flight to commence and approach is 2400 (1/2 mile). When on the glide slope, the decision height is 0.4 miles from the runway touchdown zone. Examination of the airplane did not disclose evidence of mechanical malfunction.. Probable Cause and Findings The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be: Failure of the pilot to follow IFR Procedures and maintain the minimum descent altitude (MDA). A related factor was fog. Findings Occurrence #1: IN FLIGHT COLLISION WITH TERRAIN/WATER Phase of Operation: MISSED APPROACH (IFR) Findings 1.

  • 1. INTRODUCTION the Environmental Control System (ECS)
    Canadair Regional Jet 100/200 - Environmental Control System 1. INTRODUCTION The environmental control system (ECS) provides temperature and pressure regulated air for heating, ventilating and pressurizing the flight and passenger compartments. Exhaust air, from the compartments, is used to ventilate the avionics and cargo compartments, before being dumped overboard through two outflow valves. For ground operations, pneumatic air to operate the ECS can be obtained from: A ground air supply cart connected to the aircraft The auxiliary power unit (APU) Either or both engines. During flight, the engines normally supply bleed air for operating the air-conditioning, pressurization, and avionics cooling systems. ECS warnings and cautions are displayed on the engine indication and crew alerting system (EICAS) primary page. ECS advisory and status messages are displayed on the EICAS status page. Views of the aircraft ECS temperature, pressure, valve positions and system status indications are displayed on the EICAS ECS synoptic page.

ACTION: Final rule. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model DC-9-10, DC-9-20, and DC-9-30 series airplanes. This AD was prompted by an evaluation by the design approval holder (DAH) indicating that the improved (shot-peened) aft fuselage non-ventral pressure bulkhead tee is subject to widespread fatigue damage (WFD). This AD requires repetitive inspections for cracking of the improved (shot-peened) non-ventral aft pressure bulkhead tees, and replacement if necessary. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct fatigue cracking of the improved (shot-peened) non-ventral aft pressure bulkhead tees connecting the bulkhead web to the fuselage, which could result in reduced structural integrity and rapid decompression of the airplane. DATES: This AD is effective December 11, 2014. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of December 11, 2014.
