Abstract

Data are presented on incremental normal accelerations due to gusts, operational maneuvers, and check flight maneuvers, derived gust velocities, and the airspeed and altitude operating practices of one type of wide body, long haul transport airplane flown by five airlines on international routes. These data are compared with VGH data obtained from long haul, narrow body transport airplanes also flown over international routes.
