  • Mach to Knots: What is the difference between the Mach Number and the Airspeed.
    By the end of this video, you will know what mach number (MN) is, what's the difference between MN and Airspeed and why we fly mach number and not Airspeed at high altitudes.
    The mach number is a true airspeed indication given as a percentage of the local speed of sound.
    According to the standard atmosphere at the mean sea level, the speed of sound is 661kt.
    If you are flying with a True Airspeed of 661kt you will be flying at Mach 1.0 and, if you fly at 330kt your mach number will be 0.5.
    In order to calculate the MN you have to divide the True Airspeed by the Local Speed of Sound (LSS).
    The LSS is not constant and varies with the temperature, the lower the temperature the lower the Local Speed of Sound.
    So, at the mean sea level, the LSS will be higher than the Speed of Sound at high altitudes since the temperature is lower.
    During the initial part of the climb, the Jet Airliners fly airspeeds and than when reaching high altitudes they change and fly Mach number.
    This is so because if you fly at constant Airspeed you will overshoot Mach 1 at high altitude thus going into supersonic speeds range creating the shock wave and all the problems associated with that.

      Here is a question: as a pilot how do you fly the airplane during rough air above the crossover altitude? How do slow the plane, to mach, to IAS, or to some average imaginary speed or to the middle of the higher and lower bands?
      Thanks

    Now one last question. ¿At what level normally do the pilot switch from knots (indicated speed) to mach number in order to regulate the speed during the climb? Is it FL250, FL290 or you have any other thing to take into consideration ? Thank you in advance.

      @PILOTCLIMB  2 роки тому

      I'm glad you liked it!! From the TOD you try to keep the thrust idle for as long as you can, however, even if your descending is perfect you still need to add thrust on the short final in order to fly with landing flaps.

    Another excellent video, well explained as always. I knew that the change over button (C/O) would switch from IAS to MACH but I couldn't think of any reasons behind that. This video really makes it clear now, it does make sense to switch from one to the other during climb and descent procedures. The question here is : At which altitude does the C/O happen automatically in the B738? I think I read somewhere in the technical site of the 737-800 that it should happen automatically when you reach FL260, am I correct? Thanks again captain, I was very lucky when I discovered your channel, you definitely deserve TONS more likes and TONS more views ans subscribers.

    • @PILOTCLIMB
      @PILOTCLIMB  2 роки тому +2

      Hey, many thanks for watching and the comment!! Mach number is for high altitude and fast planes. Private jets also use Mach number at high altitudes and Small GA planes (like the cessna 172) fly using knots..

    In terms of supersonic jets, they usually quote the max speed in terms of Mach. Is that constant at all altitudes, or only at a specific altitude (which would be a lot less impressive if it was something like 60000ft)?

    • @PILOTCLIMB
      @PILOTCLIMB  2 роки тому +1

      You have 2 max speeds, one expressed in knots and one in mach number. The MMO ( Max mach number) is a constant value.

    Good Day Capt,which button on MCP we push to switch from IAS to Mach Number ?...I have a question could we just push speed button on MCP and set a limit for airspeed for example at FL 400 we calculated speed of sound 400 Knot(just example) then we input 280 Knot in speed window on MCP as our limit ?

    • @PILOTCLIMB
      @PILOTCLIMB  3 роки тому +1

      Hey, I hope you are doing great!!
      You can Push the C/O button that is just above the speed button. You could use the speed as limit, however is not recommended, because the local speed of sound can vary depending on the temperature and the temperature at various level varies day by day. So the safiest and easiest way is just to fly Mach Number at high altitudes. Let me know if I answered your question..

    I saw 2 pitot tubes on left and right on near tail(vertical stabilizer area) on B737.,what is the purpose/function of this 2 pitot tube? Normally to measure speed B737 have 3 pcs on the nose (2 on left and 1 on right)

    • @PILOTCLIMB
      @PILOTCLIMB  2 роки тому

      Hey, grerat questions, those two pitot tube are for the elevator feel and centering unit, basically they take the airspeed infos and send them to the elevator feel and centering unit that simulates an artificial load on the Yoke of the pilots. The faster you fly the higher will be the force required to move the Yoke and viceversa.
