"We don't rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training." -Archilochus 645BC
Recently at a meeting our KUNZ team asked an OEM representative a question. "Was there any modification to the DIHEDRAL of the wing". The presenter who was part of a aircraft recovery meeting did not know what "Dihedral" was. The point of this is not to judge the person but to ensure your team knows key aircraft recovery language through proper training. Training will increase efficacy while improving safety. What do you see when you look at the wings of this A320 and how does that impact your recovery operation? Clear communication under stress can greatly impact many variables.

6 个月Dihedral Angle: The dihedral angle refers to the upward angle of an aircraft's wings relative to the horizontal plane. A positive dihedral angle means the wings are angled upwards, which enhances lateral stability, helping the aircraft return to level flight after a disturbance. A negative dihedral, or anhedral, indicates wings angled downward, often seen in fighter jets to enhance maneuverability.
