Whadd’ya know!
I’ve been reading Safety First Jan 2012 issue, they have a comprehensive article on how the A380 flight controls have been developed. What is really amazing is that A380 has only two hydraulic circuits. Additional redundancy is achieved by implementing these neat-looking

Vmc’s
So, there are three types of the minimum control speed. Here they are in the order of applicability: Vmcg, Vmca, and Vmcl. These are the minimum controllable speeds on the ground, in the air, and on the approach. Now, while

V1 lower limit
Actually very few pilots realize that V1 is limited on the lower end not only by the length of the runway for the accelerate/stop concerns. It also may be limited by the take-off distance (and take-off run) with one engine

GPWS blind spot
So, it just occurred to me that the GPWS may fail to give out the warning if you’re approaching a very steep, if not vertical cliff. As we know, the GPWS mode 2 is dependent on the rate of change
