Ultralight accidents are reported to be more severe compared to those in other categories of sports aviation. In the absence of denominator data in the United States (US) but addressing a continuing concern in general aviation safety, this study gives a comparison between ultralight accidents in the US, the United Kingdom (UK) and Portugal. For the...
Thesis
Full-text available
A novel approach to onboard in-flight weight and balance estimation systems is presented. Data from an Airbus A320 fleet from an airline were used to assess the feasibility of the approach. Simple flight mechanics in combination with statistics allowed for the identification of weight and centre of gravity position using cruise angle of attack, M...
