Limitations Flashcards
Load Limit Is
Max load expected in services
Ultimate Load Limit
Failing of a structure 1.5 times to load limit
Load Limit for CS25
2.5G
Load Limit for CS23 commuter
3.8G
Load Limit for a CS23 utility
4.4G

6G
Manoeuvre Envelope
Referred to as the Vn diagram (load factor against EAS)
The set out envelope we fly within
Stall Boundary in the Vn graph is where
Left had side of the envelope below the va speed
Vd
Design speed - used by engineer to structural will be the speed at which ac structure fails if falls outside this
Vibration and flutter likely
Va
Design Manoeuvre speed
Highest speed at which sudden full up elevator can be made without exceeding limit load factor
Va - Design Manoeuvre speed varies with
Mass - higher mass gives us a greater va
Altitude - va increases with altitude
Vc is
The design cruise speed
Faster than vb to cope with inadvertent speed increases by turbulence
Must be 32% more than VB
Vb
Design speed for max gust intensity
Vmo
Maximum operating speed
MNO
Max operating speed at altitude when flying with a Mach number
VLE
Max landing gear extended speed
VLO
Max speed when extending landing gear
Speed lower than VLE
