| 31. | The pilot had no working airspeed indicator, and the plane plunged 8, 000 feet immediately after the impact.
|
| 32. | The pilots knew their airspeed indicators weren't working right when they taxied the Boeing 757 down the runway.
|
| 33. | The aircraft's pilot manual usually gives critical V speeds as IAS, those speeds indicated by the airspeed indicator.
|
| 34. | But such investigations take months, and many questions remain : Why didn't the pilots use a back-up airspeed indicator?
|
| 35. | Since the airspeed indicator capsule responds to impact pressure, CAS is defined as a function of impact pressure alone.
|
| 36. | Outside the former Soviet bloc, most airspeed indicators show the speed in knots ( nautical miles per hour ).
|
| 37. | An altimeter, an airspeed indicator, a tachometer, pressure gauges and a clock and two compasses, that was about all.
|
| 38. | They sat in the pilot's seat, while an officer pointed out the radar, altimeter, airspeed indicator and other equipment.
|
| 39. | This is because all aircraft are equipped with an airspeed indicator, but fewer aircraft have an angle of attack indicator.
|
| 40. | Preliminary examination of data from the Flight Data Recorder shows that the airspeed indicator failed, showing too low an airspeed.
