What is the lowest a commercial airplane can fly?
The Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 91.119 indicates that, except when necessary for departure or landing, the minimum altitude over urban areas is 1,000 feet above ground level (AGL) and 500 feet AGL over rural areas.
What is the maximum airspeed you can fly below 10000 feet MSL?
250 knots
Below 10,000 feet msl: 250 kias (or 200 kias below the airspace layers or in a VFR corridor). Speed of 250 knots must not be exceeded, even if you are told to “maintain best forward speed.”
How fast is a commercial airline going when it lands?
Big commercial airplanes generally fly in the 550-580 MPH range, but their landing and taking-off speeds are naturally going to be different. Most commercial planes take off at roughly 160 to 180 MPH, while landings take place at approximately 150 to 165 MPH.
When flying below Class B airspace What is the speed limit?
200 knots
According to 91.117(c), no person may operate an aircraft beneath Class B airspace, or in a VFR corridor through Class B, at an indicated airspeed of more than 200 knots (230 mph).
Who has the right of way when aircraft are converging?
When a single aircraft is converging with an aircraft formation at approximately the same altitude (except head-on, or nearly so), the formation flight has the right of way. In other cases, the formation shall be considered as a single aircraft and the right-of-way rules of reference (d), subpart 91.113 apply.
What is the maximum allowed indicated airspeed below 10 000 feet?
14 CFR 91.117 limits aircraft to 250 knots indicated airspeed below 10,000 feet, but 91.117 (d) allows aircraft to fly a higher speed if the minimum safe speed is higher. What aircraft and aircraft conditions might require an indicated airspeed higher than 250 knots?
What is the minimum height for slow flight in an airplane?
Slow flight in a single-engine airplane should be conducted so the maneuver can be completed no lower than 1,500 feet AGL, or higher, if recommended by the manufacturer. In all cases, practicing slow flight should be conducted at an adequate height above the ground for recovery should the airplane inadvertently stall.
Are pilots required to comply with the 200 knot speed limit?
However, in airspace underlying a Class B airspace area designated for an airport, or in a VFR corridor designated through such a Class B airspace area, pilots are expected to comply with the 200 knot speed limit specified in 14 CFR Section 91.117 (c). (See 14 CFR Sections 91.117 (c) and 91.703.)
What is the maximum allowed ground speed of an aircraft?
The limit is 250 knots indicated air speed (KIAS). IAS is not corrected for instrument and position error nor is it corrected for winds. Thus any aircraft can exceed 250 knots ground speed as long as their air speed indicator shows less than 250 KIAS.
