I. LANDING GEAR SAFETY DEVICES Most airplanes with a retractable landing gear have a gear warning horn that will sound when the airplane is configured for landing and the landing gear is not down and locked. Normally‚ the horn is linked to the throttle or flap position‚ and/or the airspeed indicator so that when the airplane is below a certain airspeed‚configuration‚ or power setting with the gear retracted‚ the warning horn will sound. Accidental retraction of a landing gear may be prevented by

The Physics of Braking Systems By James Walker‚ Jr. of scR motorsports Copyright © 2005 StopTech LLC Author’s disclaimer: mechanical systems operating in the physical world are neither 100% efficient nor are they capable of instantaneous changes in state. Consequently‚ the equations and relationships presented herein are approximations of these braking system components as best as we understand their mechanizations and physical attributes. Where appropriate‚ several examples of limiting conditions

Summary of Hit the Brakes The story begins with an account by Christopher DeWolf on his Montreal balcony observing his neighborhood. He introduces the concept of “the proverbial rat race” and his distaste for being subjected to life restricted to work. He describes his ideals as being aligned with the slow movement‚ a concept that is quickly becoming conventional. Carl Honoré is described as author with a considerable impact in this field due to his book In Praise of Slow: How a Worldwide Movement

There is one scene in Günther Grass’s ‘The Tin Drum’ (1999‚ 338–-339) that makes for a great preamble to this chapter’s discussion of the will-to-not-know‚ the name under which I condense the mechanisms that allow the bourgeois to remain unmoved by the spectacle of violence. During Bebra theatrical troupe’s wartime tour of the Normandy Atlantic Wall line of German defence‚ Oskar‚ Grass’ main hero‚ and his fiancée compose a little sarcastic poem that sums up the situation of the German soldiers and

Scott Peck‚ author of The Different Drum: Community and Making Peace‚ describes community as "people living together in both freedom and love." Communities cannot be formed around people (individualists) who are busy satisfying their own needs first and who are not willing to work hard to make love work. Upon entering this class I realized that a community is not an automatic thing. It does not just appear out of thin air. A group must work together to build bonds between each other. The community

The idea that "techno usually has NO message‚ no image etc. it is faceless" is certainly not one that is embraced by enough of a majority for it to be considered an intrinsic property of techno itself‚ but rather an indication of what Mr./Mrs./Ms. ALLES NAAR DE KLOTE is getting out of it. This is an important distinction that needs to be made‚ I think‚ when discussing exactly what the nature of the state of the "techno" art is. I doubt that Mr./Mrs./Ms. ALLES NAAR DE KLOTE can concoct

Antilock System Brake Question: How does an Antilock brake on a car work? Why is it needed? Stopping a car in an emergency can be very challenging. One feature used in several vehicles is antilock brakes. When used properly‚ an antilock brake system (ABS) adds an important measure of safety to your driving‚ under all conditions. Antilock brakes enhance vehicle stability and steering‚ and may reduce stopping distances during emergency breaking‚ particularly on wet or icy roads. A disc brake

ev Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC™) works electronically‚ and thus faster and more precisely‚ than a conventional hydraulic braking system. As soon as you press the brake pedal and the sensors identify the driving situation in hand‚ the computer makes an exact calculation of the brake force necessary and distributes it between the wheels as required. This allows SBC™ to critically reduce stopping distances. SBC™ also helps to optimise safety functions such as ESP®‚ ASR‚ ABS and BAS. With Sensotronic

1Find a safe place to practice. Concrete is the easiest surface to bike on but is unforgiving if you fall. (With correct braking technique and a properly adjusted seat‚ however‚ this should not be an issue. See steps below for more details.) Short grass or even tidy gravel would be acceptable alternatives for anyone who feels panicky about falling‚ but be forewarned that these surfaces make balancing harder and offer more resistance to bike tires. Wherever you end up going‚ make sure it has both

A1) Applying the indicators or hazard warning switch and check functioning of all indicators. (may need to switch ignition on‚ prompt not to start engine) TIP- Most cars will not need to have the ignition switched on to activate the hazard switch‚ so it should be simple to lean into the car‚ switch it on‚ walk around the car checking all 4 main indicators (there are also indicators
