Kaye was flying home from an appearance in London in 1949 when one of the plane's four engines lost its propeller and caught fire.

Powerplant instruments provide information about the status of the plane's engines and APU.

John Paul died on April 17, 1943 when his plane's engines failed over the English Channel.

Despite the objections, he convinces the staff to go along with it, and Robbins starts the plane's engines.

There are two primary contributing factors to maneuverability — the amount of thrust delivered by the engines, and the ability of the aircraft's control surfaces to efficiently generate aerodynamic forces, and hence alterations in the plane's direction.

The receivers, transmitters and necessary air-conditioning were all powered by the plane's engines using three 15 kVA, 500 Hz alternators.

The aircraft maintenance crew soon arrives, however, and everyone gathers to examine the massive amounts of unexplained damage ( including claw marks ) to the plane's engines.

In the summer of 2007, British engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce purchased two of Harmony's 757-200s in order to harvest the plane's RB211-535 engines to support other customers ' engine needs.

However, the aircraft maintenance crew soon arrives, and everyone gathers to examine the unexplained damage to the plane's engines, complete with claw marks.

At least two engines provide compressed bleed air for all of the plane's pneumatic systems, to provide full redundancy.

Even though Lutz finally realized that his inability to see the runway meant he needed to initiate a missed approach maneuver ( called a " Go-around "), his call for the go-around came too late ; the plane's engines were not able to spool up fast enough to generate lift sufficient to climb above the hill that had been obstructing his view, and it crashed into the hilltop at 2206 CET.

The plane's vertical stabilizer and rudder separated in flight and fell into Jamaica Bay, about 1 mile north of the main wreckage site.

The then-West German magazine Bunte speculated that he might have landed there for some time, citing that he changed his clothes somewhere during his flight, and that he took too much time to fly to Moscow considering his plane's speed and weather conditions.

Such aircraft can land in fog at airports equipped with radar-assisted ground-controlled approach systems in which the plane's flight is observed on radar screens while operators radio landing directions to the pilot.

The memorial will be built around the crash site, following the plane's flight path, and protecting the area of impact, known as the " Sacred Ground ", which will remain protected and accessible only to family members of the passengers and crew.

On August 6, 1945, the plane's primary fuel pump malfunctioned during takeoff on the acceptance flight of P-80A 44-85048.

This first flight is usually solely for supply and refueling of the station, and does not customarily accept passengers, as the plane's cabin is unpressurized.

Once in flight, Gibbs kills several secret service agents guarding the plane's armory, allowing Korshunov and his men to take the armory's weapons and equipment and seize control of the plane.

* War on Terrorism: According to the latest disclosed analysis of the cockpit recordings by the United States investigators, the September 11 terrorist-pilot Ziad Jarrah got instructions to crash the United Airlines flight 93 into the Pennsylvania farmland because of the passenger uprising in the cabin trying to seize the plane's controls.

Radar plot of the plane's flight path, from the NTSB report

This craft was eventually modified by Airspeed to Cobham's specification, for a non-stop flight from London to India, using in-flight refuelling to extend the plane's flight duration.

Almost seven minutes into the flight, the crew received warnings of smoke in the plane's aft cargo compartment, C3.

It was not caused by any technical fault in the plane, but was in fact human error: The plane's captain had allowed his son, also a pilot, but one not certified to fly the N-22, to take the controls in flight.

French WWI war heroes Charles Nungesser and François Coli were attempting to make the first non-stop flight from Paris to New York, but after the plane's 8 May 1927 departure, it disappeared somewhere over the Atlantic.

Changes in the plane's direction are caused by the interaction of their flight control surfaces ( ailerons, elevators and rudders ) with the simulated atmosphere.

Reducing the number altered the plane's shape, which in turn reduced its flight realism ; this necessitated a balance between performance and accuracy.

The cause of the accident was due to failure of the flight crew to remove a gust lock -- improvised from a nylon cargo strap -- from the plane's empennage before flight.

He and Bobby remove a shipment of goods they had booked on board the same Swiss flight, which they insist now must be driven to its destination due to the plane's delay on the runway.

* Near Shanksville, Somerset County, is the site of the crash of United Airlines Flight 93, the " Let's Roll " flight which occurred on 9 / 11 after passengers attempted to overpower the plane's hijackers.

During the battle Hynes broke formation to test the prototype plane's flight capabilities, he then with no explanation just disappears into thin air.

The failure to maintain straight and level flight during the recalibration caused the autopilot to completely disengage and cease compensating for the plane's tendency to roll to the right, which caused the nose of the plane to dip.

On April 1, 2011, Southwest Airlines Flight 812 with 118 passengers enroute from Phoenix to Sacramento diverted to the airport after a rapid decompression which was the result of a large tear in the plane's fuselage 40 minutes into the flight.

With the other participants on " The Winter Dance Party " enroute to Moorhead, it fell to Surf Ballroom manager Carroll Anderson, who drove the musicians to the airport and witnessed the plane's takeoff, to make positive identifications of the musicians.

The plane's wreckage fell four feet short of the entrances to three shops.

Minutes after the plane's departure from Denver, the DC-6B exploded and the flaming wreckage fell to earth over tracts of farmland and sugar beet fields near Longmont, Colorado.

When the Gunperry got damaged, Miharu was forced to help firing the plane's missiles manually, but was knocked from the Gunperry by the missiles ' exhaust blast, and fell to her death in the Atlantic Ocean.

The blast blew a hole in the floor and the cabin's rapid decompression severed several control cables in the ceiling, cutting off control of the plane's right aileron, as well as both the pilot and first officer's steering controls.

The employee ( along with the others on the plane ) asserted his belief that Lowenstein had fallen through the plane's rear door and plunged several thousand feet to his death in the English Channel.

Pilots often flew several miles farther into enemy territory after completing the drop to disguise the actual drop zone in case enemy observers were tracking the plane's movement.

After the plane penetrated through the tower, part of the plane's landing gear and fuselage came out the north side of the tower and crashed through the roof and two of the floors of 45 – 47 Park Place, between West Broadway and Church Street, ( 600 feet ( 180 meters )) north of the former World Trade Center.

In the September 11, 2001 attacks, after hijacked United Airlines Flight 175 penetrated through the South Tower of The World Trade Center, part of the plane's landing gear and fuselage came out the north side of the tower and crashed through the roof and two of the floors of the Burlington Coat Factory at 45 – 47 Park Place, between West Broadway and Church Street, ( 600 feet ( 180 meters )) north of the former World Trade Center.

His plane's coolant overheated during a patrol mission just north of the Inishowen peninsula.
