at minumum revs Explanation: revs = engine revolutions -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 37 mins (2016-10-04 14:35:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- That's 'minImum', sorry. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 39 mins (2016-10-04 14:37:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- This example is about boats, but it's the same for all engines: Fuel Economy [Archive] - Yachting and Boating World Forums www.ybw.com › ... › Practical Boat Owner's Reader to Reader "Run at minimum revs to keep the boat moving on the basis of fewer revs ... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 39 mins (2016-10-04 14:38:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- This one's about a plane: http://www.outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=4334 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 40 mins (2016-10-04 14:39:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "A few drops of fuel were put into the small tank fitted to the engine, then with a couple of flicks the engine was running, the revs were set to about 1/3 full, then the model was gently launched. ... I then decided to try the next flight with the engine at 'tick-over' revs, ...and with the Mills now at minimum revs, the model was launched again. " -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 58 mins (2016-10-04 14:56:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Another option could be, for example in a scenario where they need to make an emergency landing, so fly around in circles to use up the fuel. In that kind of situation, the "minimos" could refer to minimum fuel level in the tanks. |

at DH Explanation: Es un tema complicado, se trata me imagino de un avión Airbus (Tecnología "Fly-by-wire") Estamos hablando de una aproximación a la pista y lo que dice es que el avión se va controlando con Ley Alterna (Alternate Law) y se pasa luego a Ley Directa (Direct Law) en la DH, Altura de Decisión. La Altura de Decisión en un aproximación de precisión es la altura en la cual ya se debe tener la pista a la vista, de lo contrario se debe iniciar una aproximación frustrada (missed aproach). Por supuesto no tiene que ver nada ni con combustible ni con revoluciones. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2016-10-04 17:22:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- El término es igual en inglés estadounidense que en inglés británico, a propósito Minimos es lo mismo que Altura de Decisión. http://www.escuadron69.net/v20/foro/index.php?/topic/21992-i... Continuamos entonces con los mínimos, para ello introducimos lo que es la altitud/altura de decisión: Decision Height/Altitude: Estamos descendiendo en la senda de planeo y si alcanzamos al altitud o altura de decisión y no vemos la pista debemos frustrar inmediatamente nada mas alcanzarla, NO podemos descender más allá de esa altitud sin ver la pista. |
