In American Made, what is the model of the white airplane that the CIA presents to Barry Seal (played by Tom Cruise)? He says something along the lines of "the fastest piston twin". He says something along the lines of "the fastest piston twin".
Take a Southwest 737 in cruise. It has 1 gee operating on it from regular old gravity. Then it has another gee from the normal trim of its wings. These cancel out and it holds altitude. Now if the aircraft inverted while doing their best to sustain "perceived" 1.0 gee in the cabin, those two gee-forces would stack instead of cancel out.
Well, there's always someone.In January 1954, American TV and Radio personality Arthur Godfrey buzzed the Teterboro control tower with his Douglas DC-3, resulting in the suspension of his license: In the mid 1950’s, Arthur Godfrey was preparing to take off from Teterboro Airport in his private DC-3.
I am not necessarily referring to current events, but you can if you want. Presuppose a balloon is within altitude, and range, of the guns of a warplane made in the 2000's. Particularly if a military wants to salvage and deconstruct a balloon, then why not use bullets? Leaving something behind to be analyzed!
I've noticed some pilots preselect their destination QNH on their side of the FCU. In order to preselect the QNH, you need to momentarily switch out of STD which made me wonder: Assuming your side is switched on for altitude reporting (on the ATC/TCAS panel): Will ATC receive a different altitude while the pilot is preselecting their QNH?
Cruise ceiling is the maximum altitude at cruise speed. Cruise speed is one of the design speeds as defined by FAR Part 25, §25.335 and is determined by the manufacturer. Also, the remaining climb speed at cruise ceiling might differ and is defined by the manufacturer if a cruise ceiling is given at all.
Most people fly in order to get somewhere, so cruise climb is used as it covers more ground while getting to altitude. Here is the DA40 airspeed table that would have been nice to include in your question. Depending on weight, cruise climb speed is 6-9kt higher than takeoff climb speed.
The manoever in the movie is risky and unrealistic. What do you expect from Tom Cruise? ;-) There is indeed a Manual concerning Interception of Civil Aircraft governed by ICAO. It says: 4.1.2.1 The following method is recommended for the manoeuvring of intercepting aircraft for the purpose of visually identifying a civil aircraft: Phase I
$\begingroup$ "The" cruise thrust is whatever you need for "this" flight, at your planned cruise speed & altitude & gross weight. Change any of those parameters & the cruise thrust will change accordingly. This question looks to be unanswerably vague to me. VTC. $\endgroup$ –
1. It's not an optical illusion, many GA planes cruise with a slightly nose down pitch, sometimes referred to as flying "on the step". As I recall, the wing chord is pitched slightly upwards on most GA aircraft to generate more lift at a nose level pitch. That last part may be off slightly, going from memory.
