Record 1 2008-04-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Systems
  • Landing Gear (Aeroindustry)
CONT

A less dramatic use for thrust reversers is the powerback, a maneuver in which an aircraft is backed up under its own power. As a matter of procedure, pilots are cautioned not to apply brakes while powering back, as this may cause the aircraft to settle on its tail. Stops are made instead by first applying forward thrust and then braking normally once forward motion begins.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Circuits des aéronefs
  • Atterrisseur (Constructions aéronautiques)
OBS

Pour actionner le circuit de freinage, on doit appuyer sur la partie supérieure des palonniers. Cette force est transmise aux freins respectifs par le circuit hydraulique. Ce circuit hydraulique est entièrement indépendant des autres circuits hydrauliques de l'appareil.

OBS

appuyer sur les freins; freiner : termes uniformisés par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie aéronautique (CUTA) - Maintenance.

Record 2 2007-07-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Maneuvers
  • Aircraft Piloting and Navigation
CONT

The recommended landing distances in the CRFI [Canadian Runway Friction Index] table are based on standard pilot techniques for minimum distance landings from 50 feet, including an approach from a 3° glideslope, a firm touchdown, minimum delay to nose lowering, minimum delay time to deployment of ground lift dump devices, minimum delay time to application of brakes and reverse thrust, and sustained maximum antiskid braking until stopped.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Manœuvres d'aéronefs
  • Pilotage et navigation aérienne
CONT

Les distances d'atterrissage recommandées dans le tableau des CRFI [coefficients canadiens de frottement sur piste] sont basées sur des techniques couramment utilisées par les pilotes pour effectuer des atterrissages sur des distances minimales à partir d'une hauteur de 50 pieds, comme une approche sur un alignement de descente de 3°, un toucher des roues ferme, un délai minimum avant l'abaissement du nez, un délai minimum avant la sortie des déporteurs sol, un délai minimum avant le serrage des freins et l'utilisation des inverseurs de poussée ainsi que le maintien du freinage antidérapant maximal jusqu'à l'immobilisation de l'appareil.
