September 25, 201411 yr Amazing, I was thinking ... "I bet that stall warning is screaming at the pilot!!" - Paul Elliott http://www.avsim.com/topic/450607-amy-johnson-london-to-australia-attempt/
September 25, 201411 yr Commercial Member Very nice example of an empty aircraft combined with AoA protection. No stall warning because it is nowhere near a stall Rob Prest
September 26, 201411 yr Empty aircraft and a strong headwind.

September 26, 201411 yr Commercial Member How strong was the headwind? Minimum 110/120kts? According to umbrellas it's not even 30-40kts?! Current system: ASUS PRIME Z690-P D4, Intel 12900k, 32GB RAM @ 3600mhz, Zotac RTX 3090 Trinity, M2 SSD, Oculus Quest 2.
September 26, 201411 yr Commercial Member It has nothing to do with a headwind. They are simply demonstrating alpha max on an empty aircraft. Not sure what the exact number for Vls is on an empty A330, but for sure the speed is very low. The limit for Vmca is 106 knots Rob Prest
September 26, 201411 yr To do any kind of "display" in that weather is an achievement! Super VC10 into LOWI with PF3 at a cinema near you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=298UDyNmgUA
September 26, 201411 yr Commercial Member It does from our perspective watching. Strong headwind makes it appear to be flying slower then is possible. Have you ever heard of the 'ground speed mini' function on the A330? Rob Prest
September 26, 201411 yr Commercial Member I guess I assumed that the others were implying that the aircraft looks to be barely moving so of course a strong headwind will do that. It's not a Boeing, ground speed mini compensates. Also in general terms you always increase speed to compensate for a headwind. What do you think would happen on approach iin a large aircraft if you had a 30 knot head wind that suddenly reduced to 5 knots? That is why you add Vref additives on approach. Rob Prest
September 26, 201411 yr I guess I assumed that the others were implying that the aircraft looks to be barely moving so of course a strong headwind will do that. That's just the angle of the a/c from the viewer. Just as in the same way an oncoming train appears not to be moving.

September 27, 201411 yr Author Yup, pretty cool. Makes me want to take an empty 777 in fsx with 150 knot headwind and "float" it to the gate. Alfredo Terrero
September 27, 201411 yr I can think of another famous Airbus Alpha Max flyby at an airshow that didn't end well at all... RE Thomason Jr.
