A seventh landing mission, the 1970 Apollo 13 flight, failed in transit to the Moon when an oxygen tank explosion disabled the command spacecraft's propulsion and life support, forcing the crew to use the Lunar Module as a " lifeboat " for these functions to return to Earth safely.

Less than 35 minutes into the flight, the hijackers stormed the cockpit and forced the passengers, crew, and pilots to the rear of the aircraft.

By the time mission control issued the wake-up call to the crew for flight day two, the spacecraft was approximately away from the Earth, traveling at about.

After waking up on flight day four, the crew began preparations for the maneuver that would brake the spacecraft into orbit around the Moon, or lunar orbit insertion.

Navigation systems calculate the position automatically and display it to the flight crew on moving map displays.

Older avionics required a pilot or navigator to plot the intersection of signals on a paper map to determine an aircraft's location ; modern systems calculate the position automatically and display it to the flight crew on moving map displays.

These are all used to provide imagery and information to the flight crew.

In March 1970 he became the first of the scientist-astronauts to be assigned to space flight, joining Richard F. Gordon, Jr. ( Commander ) and Vance Brand ( Command Module Pilot ) on the Apollo 15 backup crew.

The flight rotation put these three in line to fly as prime crew on the third following mission, Apollo 18.

Any time a flight is operating in VMC, the crew is responsible for seeing and avoiding VFR traffic ; however, since the flight is conducted under Instrument Flight Rules, ATC still provides separation services from other IFR traffic.

This higher altitude allows a flight crew to clear the obstacle if a landing is not feasible.

Modern flight management systems have evolved sufficiently to allow a crew to plan a flight not only as to route and altitude, but to specific time of arrival at specific locations.

* 1965 – NASA launches Gemini 3, the United States ' first two-man space flight ( crew: Gus Grissom and John Young ).

A Boeing 727 jet was positioned on the tarmac with five or six armed German police inside dressed as flight crew.

Discounting Peary's disputed claim, the first men to set foot at the North Pole were a Soviet party including geophysicists Mikhail Ostrekin and Pavel Senko, oceanographers Mikhail Somov and Pavel Gordienko, and other scientists and flight crew ( 24 people in total ) of Aleksandr Kuznetsov's Sever-2 expedition ( March – May 1948 ).

* 1998 – While en route from Adana to Ankara, a Turkish Airlines flight with a crew of 6 and 33 passengers is hijacked by a Kurdish militant who orders the pilot to fly to Switzerland.

* 1964 – The Soviet Union launches the Voskhod 1 into Earth orbit as the first spacecraft with a multi-person crew and the first flight without space suits

Cochrane completes his warp flight, and the next day, April 5, 2063, the crew watches as Vulcans, attracted by the Phoenix warp test, land and greet Cochrane.

These variations included barrel wear, propellant temperature, different projectiles weights that all affected the muzzle velocity, and air temperature, density, wind speed & direction and rotation of the earth that affect the shell in flight.

Other defense projects included gyroscope-based and other complex control systems for gunsight, bombsight, and inertial navigation under Charles Stark Draper's Instrumentation Laboratory ; the development of a digital computer for flight simulations under Project Whirlwind ; and high-speed and high-altitude photography under Harold Edgerton.

These tests included a maiden " flight " on February 18, 1977, atop a Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft ( SCA ) to measure structural loads and ground handling and braking characteristics of the mated system.

Also included is the space under a flight of stairs, if it is not occupied by another flight of stairs.

The nine crew members included Captain Victor Saracini, First Officer Michael Horrocks, and flight attendants Robert Fangman, Amy Jarret, Amy King, Kathryn Laborie, Alfred Marchand, Michael Tarrou, and Alicia Titus.

Excluding the hijackers, the passengers on the flight included 35 men, 12 women, and three children who were all under the age of 5.

Drills included skating around Javex bleach bottles and tin cans, and flipping pucks over scattered hockey sticks to be able to pick up the puck again in full flight.

The alites included region of the sky, height and type of flight, behaviour of the bird and place where it would rest.

The Council — his uncle William Knollys included — took a quarter of an hour to compile a report, which declared that his truce with O ' Neill was indefensible and his flight from Ireland tantamount to a desertion of duty.

Project Bullet, the name of the mission, included both the first transcontinental flight to average supersonic speed ( despite three in-flight refuelings during which speeds dropped below 300 mph ), and the first continuous transcontinental panoramic photograph of the United States.

After graduation, he participated in flight test work which included high-altitude tests to obtain data on light at different altitudes and on a variety of air masses over the American continent ; test and development experiments of the Navy's in-flight refueling system ; carrier suitability trials of the F2H-3 Banshee ; and Navy trials of the first angled carrier deck.

People that fly aboard an aircraft, such as passengers and cabin crew, that are not involved in the aircraft's flight systems are not generally considered to be aviators, but aviation navigators, bombardiers, Weapon Systems Officers, and Electronic Warfare Officers are generally included.

New Zealander Richard Pearse may have made a powered flight in a monoplane that included small ailerons as early as 1902, but his claims are controversial ( and sometimes inconsistent ), and, even by his own reports, his aircraft were not well controlled.

His accomplishments from 1989 to 1992 included testing the F / A-18 and A-7 aircraft ; performing research work with NASA on pitch control margin simulation and flight ; completing the first military flight of F / A-18 enhanced performance engines ; piloting the first flight test of the National Aerospace Plane external burning hydrogen propulsion engine ; developing a new handling qualities rating scale for high angle-of-attack test ; and participating in the F / A-18 out-of-control recovery test program.

But the other five flight instruments, sometimes known as " the big five ", are still included in all cockpits.

In military flight simulators, as well as at airfields, model boards were produced for larger areas that included terrain for practicing low flying and attacking targets.

New systems incorporated into the station included the Salyut 5B digital flight control computer and gyrodyne flywheels ( taken from Almaz ), Kurs automatic rendezvous system, Luch satellite communications system, Elektron oxygen generators, and Vozdukh carbon dioxide scrubbers.

Headquartered in Utica, New York, the division included more than 8, 500 employees in five locations in the northeastern U. S.
