Cobra vs Apache - Pilots of America
2014年10月1日 · The Apache has more useful load than a Cobra. Useful load in an attack helicopter means weapons. The Cobra is faster, but that means nothing on the battlefield. Armor, weapons, and loiter time mean ten times as much as top speed. When you get in to a fight in a helicopter you aren't yanking and banking like an F16 in a dogfight.
Instrument Ground School (Plane vs. Helicopter)
2012年3月11日 · The Instrument rating Ground School for helicopter prepares students for the FAA Instrument knowledge test and an FAA Instrument Rating. This course includes an in-depth study of aircraft fl ight instruments, basic attitude instrument fl ying, IFR navigation systems and procedures, aviation weather, applicable Federal Aviation Regulations and ...
Forward vs Aft CG and Cruise Speed/Efficiency
2013年4月18日 · I am curious to know if there's any appreciable difference in cruise speeds and fuel efficiency if loading a small GA airplane (i.e. 182, Bonanza, Lance) near the aft limit vs the forward limit. Does anyone here take this into account and …
Stats for Multi vs Singles- Engine Failure rate - Pilots of America
2010年12月28日 · Keep in mind that light piston twins (other than the 4-banger trainers like the Seminole, which underperform singles of even less total power, e.g., 400 HP Seminole vs 300 HP Beech 36) have two engines not for redundancy, but because they need more power than one air-cooled horizontally-opposed engine will produce in order to carry the desired ...
What engine is more reliable a piston Helicopter or a single engine ...
2014年3月10日 · I spoke to a Helicopter pilot and he said: "The Engine and model are pretty much the same, (Lycoming) but a Helicopter engine HAS to be more reliable because if the engine fails not many options exist, you don't hear about too many Helicopter accidents compared to Airplane accidents" (IMO) I...
Turbulence: Rotor wing vs fixed wing | Pilots of America
2016年4月12日 · I dont know much on the V22 but I dont recall seeing wing loading ratios on other tiltrotors like the XV15 and AW609. I've only seen disc loading and lift/drag ratio numbers on those. And given tilitrotors use rigid prop-rotors my guess is they would handle turbulence similar to a fixed fixed vs a helicopter MR system.

Helicopter vs airplane - Pilots of America
2022年10月19日 · Unfortunately, the only downside to this ability is you usually have to pull the helicopter out to work on it depending how tightly it is packed in. Eric Miles said: Feels like it would need to be towed somewhere way out on the ramp.
Buying certificated vs. experimental | Pilots of America
2014年3月9日 · If you have no need for the 1800 pound useful load, try an Apache 160. they can be had for less than 30k. the rest of your budget than becomes fuel and maintenance. You'll find the Cherokee 6 is a fuel pig light or even a bigger fuel pig when loaded.
Difference between turbulence and imminent spin ... - Pilots of …
2011年7月29日 · Good question and fun to think through. Here is my understanding, but I defer to any CFIs. A spin occurs when the aircraft stalls while in uncoordinated flight (usually skidding), leading to one wing being more completely stalled than the other (and thereby having asymmetric lift with the low wing being more completely stalled).
