It was only a fifteen-minute flight, but before it was through Greg felt himself developing a case of claustrophobia.

He was about to make a gas check on his flight when Todman's voice broke in: `` Sweeneys!!

during long weeks the plan for his flight was rehearsed.

for what had happened on the common was only terror and flight ; ;

He was prancing along the hall, heading for the next flight of stairs.

Their flight was delayed, Dunn said, when a boarding ramp inflicted some minor damage to the wing of the plane.

It was probably man's first successful flight in a missile.

Her first actual flight, for she and her kind had made mock flights on dummy panels since she was eight, showed her complete mastery of the techniques of her profession.

The first manned flight of Apollo was in 1968 and it succeeded in landing the first humans on Earth's Moon in 1969 through 1972.

While the Mercury capsule could only support one astronaut on a limited Earth orbital mission, the Apollo spacecraft was to be able to carry three astronauts on a circumlunar flight and eventually to a lunar landing.

The rival forces met at Sievershausen on 9 July 1553, and after a combat of unusual ferocity Albert was put to flight.

Scalich saved his life by flight, but Funck was executed.

In the general engagement which followed, Abner was defeated and put to flight.

Peter felt insulted: the flight of the tsarevich to a foreign potentate was a reproach and a scandal, and he had to be recovered and brought back to Russia at all costs.

American Airlines Flight 77 was a passenger flight which was hijacked by five al-Qaeda terrorists on September 11, 2001, as part of the September 11 attacks.

Hani Hanjour, one of the hijackers who was trained as a pilot, assumed control of the flight.

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.

As the Apollo 16 spacecraft was not due to arrive in lunar orbit until flight day four, flight days two and three were largely preparatory days, consisting of spacecraft maintenance and scientific research.

The remainder of flight day four was spent making observations and preparing for activation of the Lunar Module, undocking, and landing the next day.

The penultimate day of the flight was largely spent performing experiments, aside from a twenty minute press conference during the second half of the day.

Today automated flight control is common to reduce pilot error and workload at key times like landing or takeoff. Autopilot was first invented by Lawrence Sperry during World War II to fly bomber planes steady enough to hit precision targets from 25, 000 feet.

Following the Glorious Revolution, the line of succession to the English throne was governed by the Bill of Rights 1689, which declared that the flight of James II from England to France during the revolution amounted to an abdication of the throne and that James ' son-in-law, ( and nephew ) William of Orange, and his wife, James ' daughter, Mary, were James ' successors, who ruled jointly as William III and Mary II.

The Bronze Star Medal may be awarded by the Secretary of a military department or the Secretary of Homeland Security with regard to the Coast Guard when not operating as a service in the Navy, or by such military commanders, or other appropriate officers as the Secretary concerned may designate, to any person who, while serving in any capacity in or with the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, or Coast Guard of the United States, after 6 December 1941, distinguishes, or has distinguished, himself by heroic or meritorious achievement or service, not involving participation in aerial flight —

The minimum weather conditions for ceiling and visibility for VFR flights are defined in FAR Part 91. 155, and vary depending on the type of airspace in which the aircraft is operating, and on whether the flight is conducted during daytime or nighttime.

However, any aircraft operating under VFR must have the required equipment on board, as described in FAR Part 91. 205 ( which includes instruments necessary for IFR flight ); but the view outside of the aircraft is the primary source for keeping the aircraft straight and level ( orientation ), flying where you intended to fly ( navigation ), and for not hitting anything ( separation ).

In the United States, a flight operating under IFR is required to provide position reports unless ATC advises a pilot that the plane is in radar contact.

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.

* 1941 – Philippine Airlines, the flag carrier of the Philippines took its first flight between Manila ( from Nielson Field ) to Baguio City with a Beechcraft Model 18 making the airline the first and oldest commercial airline in Asia operating under its original name.

For example, z900, z990, System z9, and System z10 servers effectively execute result-oriented instructions twice, compare results, arbitrate between any differences ( through instruction retry and failure isolation ), then shift workloads " in flight " to functioning processors, including spares, without any impact to operating systems, applications, or users.

The aircraft was refueled, and there was a crew change ; the new flight crew consisted of Captain Ralph G. Kevorkian, Captain / Check Airman Steven E. Snyder and Flight Engineer / Check Airman Richard G. Campbell ( all with more than 30 years employment at TWA ), and Flight Engineer Trainee Oliver Krick, who was starting the sixth leg of his initial operating experience training.

Governing agencies establish specific requirements for VFR flight, including minimum visibility, and distance from clouds, to ensure that aircraft operating under VFR are visible from enough distance to ensure safety.

In the United States, a pilot operating VFR outside of class B airspace can request " VFR flight following " from ATC.

In the US, there are specific VFR cruising altitudes, based on the aircraft's heading, to assist pilots in separating their aircraft while operating under visual flight above 3, 000 ft but below 18, 000 ft Mean Sea Level ( MSL ).

Usually, aircraft wings have various devices, such as flaps or slats that the pilot uses to modify the shape and surface area of the wing to change its operating characteristics in flight.

American Airlines retired all its Airbus A300-600 Aircraft from service eight years after the accident ( and 21 years in service ) in August, 2009, with its last flight, flight 1908 from Miami to New York-JFK operating on August 24, 2009.

Depending on the type of flight and the class of airspace, ATC may issue instructions that pilots are required to follow, or merely flight information ( in some countries known as advisories ) to assist pilots operating in the airspace.

* 23 November 1961: an Aerolíneas Argentinas de Havilland DH-106 Comet 4 registration LV-AHR operating flight 322 from Campinas-Viracopos to Port of Spain after reaching an altitude of about 100m lost altitude, collided with a eucalyptus forest and crashed.

* 15 September 2001: a TAM Airlines Fokker 100 registration PT-MRN operating the charter flight 9755, flying from Recife to Campinas-Viracopos, following an uncontrolled engine failure en route to Campinas had 3 cabin windows shattered by fragments of the engine and made an emergency landing at Belo Horizonte-Confins.

The suffix medico used to be added by vessels in UK waters to indicate a medical problem ( Pan-Pan medico, repeated three times ), or by aircraft declaring a non-life-threatening medical emergency of a passenger in flight, or those operating as protected medical transport in accordance with the Geneva Conventions.

On July 9, 1982 Clipper Defiance, a Boeing 727 – 235 ( N4737 ), operating as Pan Am flight 759, crashed minutes after takeoff from New Orleans Airport in the worst accident in aviation history involving microburst-induced wind shear.

On September 5, 1986 a Pan Am 747 named the Clipper Empress of the Seas ( N656PA ), operating as Pan Am flight 73, was taken over by hijackers while on a scheduled stop in Karachi.

This graph shows the stall angle, yet in practice most pilot operating handbooks ( POH ) or generic flight manuals describe stalling in terms of airspeed.

In the U. S military, flight surgeons are trained to fill general public health and occupational and preventive medicine roles, and are only infrequently " surgeons " in an operating theater sense.

By exceeding the Boeing 707 flight manual's engine operating parameters, Patroni frees the stuck jet, allowing Lincoln International's primary runway to be reopened just in time to permit the crippled Golden Argosy to land.
