A disabled jet can glide at an angle of 11 degrees with the horizontal If it starts to glide at an altitude of 12000 feet can it reach a landing strip 10 miles away?

The jet can reach the landing strip if tan(11) ≥ 12000 ft/10 miles
that is, if tan(11) ≥ 12000 ft/52800 ft = 0.2273
tan(11) = 0.1944 which is not large enough. Oh no! CRASH!!!!

In aviation terms what is DA?
DA-Decision Altitude. It is the lowest an aircraft can fly on an (precision) instrument approach. At that height the pilot must be able to see the runway or landing light system or else he has to initiate a missed approach
How many steps can you have before you need a landing?
For every 12 feet in height, you need a landing.
Quarters sounds different landing heads or tails?
There is no difference in sound landing heads or tails.
When necessary for takeoff or landing what is the minimum safe altitude required for a pilot to operate an aircraft over congested areas?
An altitude of 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 2,000 feet of the aircraft.
What was the Harrier first bred for?
Horizontal take off and landing.
If you are landing runway 17 which way are you landing?
Your aircraft heading would be 197 degrees. Or 17 degrees from due South. Generally speaking, you would be headed SSW---South-SouthWest.
What altitude do planes fly over London?
It depends whether the flight is overflying London or if it is taking off or landing at London.
What is the Angle of the Javelin Landing Sector?
it is 0.2365 degrees
What is the apex of flight?
This is what is referred to TOD (Top of Descent) This point at which the aircraft reaches it cruse altitude and from where it will descend for landing processes as issued by ATC
A hot air balloon descends 210 feet each minute when landing What is the change in the altitude of the balloon after 3 minutes?
630 feet
At what altitude or height the aircraft retract its landing gear?
Commercial Airlines normally retract the landing gear when the Vertical Speed Indicator indicates a positive rate of climb. Basically, when the instruments indicate the sircraft is climbing, the gear is raised.
What are the parts of an airplane?
fuselage wings ailerons flaps landing gear tail vertical stabilizer horizontal stabilizer rudder elevators engine
What does a pilot use to land?
Before setting up for landing pilots follow checklists. The pilot puts the aircraft in a landing configuration. To accomplish this, the throttle is set and the flaps are set to keep the right rate of descent and glide slope all the way down to the runway. On landing configuration It is very normal for pilots to use power to gain or lose altitude and trade altitude for airspeed. Prior to landing the pilot makes one final check to make sure the aircraft is ready to land, specifically the landing gear down. This is all done while listening to air traffic control and following approach plates.
What does approaching minimums means on an airplane?
Approaching minimums is called out by an on board computer when the plane is on approach to land. It means that the pilots are approaching the minimum altitude that they can safely fly to without the runway in sight (ie, through clouds and rain etc). If they reach that minimum altitude and the runway is still not in sight the pilots must call off the landing "go around" and attempt the landing again.
What is the minimum clearance of a propeller to the airframe structure?
According to FARS . radial clearence is 1". and horizontal ( prop to landing gear/tire ) is half inch.
