General Aviation Landing Flare Instructions

The Landing Flare of Large Transport

NICMOS Proposal Instructions 1: General Instructions

In this ISR the Proposal Instructions for the NICMOS Science Instrument are described. This report discusses the possible SI configurations, modes, and most of the optional parameters. The optional parameters which support the creation and association of patterns of exposures are discussed in a companion ISR (NICMOS-013).

Further Investigation into Landing Flare Guidance Using Optical

The landing flare is widely regarded as being one of the most difficult aspects of piloting a fixed wing aircraft, and this phase of flight accounts for a high proportion of fatal accidents for civil transport aircraft. Previous studies have sought to identify the piloting strategy used for the flare manoeuvre, and thence develop pilot aids to improve performance and safety. A previous study at...

Traffic Predictions Supporting General Aviation

General Aviation (GA) pilots are responsible to stay well-clear of other traffic and avoid conflicts. This paper outlines a research that is aimed to enlarge the time horizon over which a GA pilot can solve a conflict. This is done by moving beyond state-based predictions to intent-based predictions of flight paths. The idea is to use a stochastic filter with a dynamical model that embeds a not...

Alcohol and General Aviation Accidents.

l i t t l e i m p o r t a n c e or attention has been given to the role of alcohol in civil general aviation accidents. Its significance has never been determined. This is evidenced, for ex­ ample, by most recent authoritative accident statistical reports (2, 3 ). In these statistical reviews, covering 929 general aviation fatal accidents which occurred in the years 1960 and 1961, only eight ca...
