approach speed

You may have noticed that my approach speed was high."

So he decided to add another fifteen knots to the approach speed and give it a go.

Trains on this line routinely approach speeds of 100 miles an hour.

"Radar reports steady approach speed of ninety feet per second."

At approach speed with spoilers out, there is a clear view ahead over the nose.

Therefore, the minimum approach speed is much higher in case of heavier aircraft's.

It was found very difficult to aim and fire the guns accurately at such high approach speeds.

"I better pay attention to the approach speeds and bone up on the manual for this thing," Henry said.

This system reduced the aircraft's approach speeds, increased the level of operating safety.

Thus an increase in approach speed is advisable if ice remains on the wings.

The flaps were not extended to maintain flight at final approach speed.

This was then applied to a chart to determine the proper approach speed of the aircraft.

"The approach speed was tens of thousands of miles per hour.

As she had remarked, the higher the approach speed the safer the vortex passage.

The pilots were not told about the type of plane that was approaching before them, nor did they reduce to minimum approach speed.

The pilot must anticipate the wind gradient and use a higher approach speed to compensate for it.

These included improvements to the low-speed handling characteristics and a reduction in the approach speed.

The flight control computer also controls the aircraft throttles to maintain the appropriate approach speed.

How soon must we set decel, to choose our course and our approach speed?"

In a matter of three minutes' time the raft was approaching speeds of thirty miles an hour.

He reduced his approach speed, found a large tussock outcrop and parked behind it.

The approach speed must be correct to allow you to Stop and Give Way at the single broken white line if necessary.

Full flap (38 degrees) allows a landing approach speed of approximately 50-55 knots at light weight.

The event has evolved over the years into a high-speed race in which the fastest boats are approaching speeds of 150 miles per hour.

With most gliders the attitude for the nose during the slip needs to be no higher than required to maintain the chosen approach speed.
