| Tailwind landings have you flying down final at an excess groundspeed, but at a given angle of descent. |
|
| Each time the aircraft is forced to crab into the wind the groundspeed is reduced. |
|
| The groundspeed decreased from 72 mph to 48 mph and the track of the aircraft increased from 222º T to 273º T before any loss of altitude. |
|
| But what one loses when bucking a headwind is groundspeed, or forward progress over the ground. |
|
| A perception of sufficient airspeed due to the high groundspeed may have been a factor. |
|
| A headwind decreases groundspeed, the speed of the plane relative to the ground. |
|
| The aircraft was not able to stop on the 9000-foot runway and departed the far end at a groundspeed of about 80 knots. |
|
| The target indicated airspeed is continuously recalculated during the approach to keep the aircraft's speed at or above groundspeed mini. |
|
| It departed the end of the runway at a groundspeed of approximately 80 knots and came to rest in a ravine. |
|
| An increase in groundspeed to 180 knots would require a descent rate of 900 feet per minute. |
|
| A groundspeed PTO is also available for fertiliser spreading or adding additional traction on slopes for special trailers. |
|
| Using the GPS groundspeed proved to be the most effective indicator of flying airspeed. |
|
| The aircraft climbed about 1,000 fpm to 1,050 feet asl, with the groundspeed increasing from 96 knots at 700 feet asl to a maximum of 123 knots at 1,050 feet asl. |
|
| A quick check of groundspeed led us to believe his airspeed indicator was accurate. |
|
| We had a good inertial-attitude platform but no horizontal solution for groundspeed or groundtrack. |
|
| The HAC selected doppler to read groundspeed, and he continued the climb-out to 1,000 feet. |
|
| According to the final information sent out by the plane's transponders, the plane reached its target cruising altitude then, at 6.13am local time, its groundspeed suddenly dropped. |
|
| The Flying Roadster 3.0 prototype has a top groundspeed of 124mph and a flight travel range of 430 miles or up to four hours – enough to reach Aberdeen from London. |
|
| Recruits must answer geometry questions and solve math problems in their heads — for example, if a plane travels a certain number of miles in 90 minutes, what is its groundspeed, in miles per hour? |
|
| The winds encountered by the aircraft on short final were calculated using FDR recorded airspeed, groundspeed, heading, track, and angle-of-attack parameters. |
|
|
|
| They touched down on the gravel with 35 knots of groundspeed and slid to rest within the friendly perimeter. |
|
| The aircraft touched down with 173 knots groundspeed, and we uneventfully rolled into the short-field arresting gear. |
|
| The steep descent through the trees, short wreckage trail, low groundspeed, and steep angle of bank point to a loss of control at low altitude due to aerodynamic stall. |
|
| In this nine-second flight segment, the aircraft track indicated a significant turn to the northwest while the aircraft groundspeed remained below 100 knots. |
|
| Airspeed indicated zero knots, but we were near 15 knots groundspeed. |
|
| Hmmm, what does it mean if groundspeed is less than true airspeed? |
