Landing in the Dark: Night Landings Without Runway Lights

There is no doubt that when we talk of air travel, we are perhaps talking about the safest mode of transportation. It might bring in a surprise to many, but it is true.   This is because safety is always at the left, right and centre of air travel. Landing of an aeroplane is equally important as its takeoff and mid-air operation and it becomes even more sensitive at night. Normally, almost all the runways have special lighting systems providing the pilot with an idea of direction, distance and altitude. But have you ever wondered what would happen if a plane had to land on a runway without any runway lights? Is landing even possible in this case? In this blog, we will have our focus on a situation where a plane has to land on a runway without a pilot at night without runway lights. We will explore the significance of runway lights, the challenges of landing without them and the rare instances where a plane has successfully landed without runway lights, both in India as well as around the world.

When Do the Wheels of an Aeroplane Open and Close?

The landing gear of an aircraft is an essential component. It helps the plane to land on the runway and take off. A pilot needs to know when to open and close the wheels of the plane. This process is followed for technical reasons and also to ensure safety, efficiency and aerodynamic performance of an aircraft. The wheels of an aircraft are in contact with the runway during takeoff and landing.   The Landing gear usually consists of three or more wheels, shock absorbers, a brake system and a hydraulic or electro-mechanical retraction system. In larger aircraft, these wheels are recessed into the fuselage after takeoff to decrease aerodynamic drag and save fuel. This blog will help you learn about the details of how the process of opening and closing the wheels of an aircraft works and how aviation academies assist pilots in learning it.

Do Planes Have Reverse Gears Also? Finding an Answer

If you want to take a car, bus, or truck backwards, then it can be easily done with the help of a reverse gear. If the same is to be done with an aeroplane, then does it also have a reverse gear?   Auto companies provide reverse gear in vehicles so that the vehicle can be driven backwards if needed. In such a situation, reverse gear is very useful. If this weren’t the case, then the vehicle would have to be pushed backwards manually.   It is common to see reverse gear in cars, buses, trucks, and other vehicles. We have talked about vehicles on the road, but do aeroplanes also have reverse gear or not? If the plane is to be taken backwards, then how will pilots do it? The plane is very large. Is it not possible to take it backwards by pushing? Do the companies that make planes provide a reverse gear? In this blog, we will try to find an answer to this question.

What Happens When Aircraft Engines Fail Mid-Air?

Most multi-engine aircraft have engines underhung from the wings. The engines are placed at a distance from the aircraft's Centre of Gravity. This distance is recognized as arm length. The thrust produced by the engines acts through the CG, which acts like the pivot of a seesaw. In usual conditions, both engines produce the same thrust. Though when an engine fails, there is a thrust disparity as the dead engine no longer produces any thrust, while the functioning engine continues to do so. The moment generated by the live engine swerves the aircraft on the way to the inoperative engine. This yaw requires that the aircraft be arrested to guarantee that the aircraft does not enter a spiralling dive. To counter the unwanted yaw from the functioning engine, a force needs to be produced in the yaw axis. This comes from the tail or the vertical stabilizer. The pilots can differentiate the force created by the tail using the rudder attached to it. So, in the event of an engine failure, the pilots use their feet and press on the rudder pedal to deflect the rudder until the yaw is controlled. If the engine on the right side fails, the left rudder is applied; if it is on the left, the right rudder should be applied. In a twin-engine aircraft, the failure of an engine results in a 50% decrease in total thrust. Regarding performance, an engine failure results in a loss of approximately 70% of performance. This is because an engine failure results in drag due to control surface deflection and sideslip.

Why Can We Not Use Autopilot All the Time in Aviation?

If aeroplanes have autopilot systems, then what is the need for pilots? The autopilot systems are extremely sophisticated and can handle the entire flight. But is it the full reality?   No, the reality is much more complex. While automation has a big role to play in modern aviation, there are reasons why we cannot depend entirely on autopilot systems. Human pilots are essential to flight operations because the systems need human judgment, flexibility and oversight.
