Common questions

Is it possible to exceed the maximum warp speed?

Is it possible to exceed the maximum warp speed?

As noted above, the tolerance of a ship’s systems for the stresses of warp travel are a primary limiting factor, so while exceeding the ship’s maximum rated speed can be technically possible, it carries the risk of severe damage to the warp drive or to the ship’s structural integrity.

When to use maintain maximum forward speed and maintain slowest practical speed?

The phrases “maintain maximum forward speed” and “maintain slowest practical speed” are primarily intended for use when sequencing a group of aircraft. As the sequencing plan develops, it may be necessary to determine the specific speed and/or make specific speed assignments.

Are there any speed restrictions beyond 12 nm?

Speed restrictions of 250 knots do not apply to aircraft operating beyond 12 NM from the coastline within the U.S. Flight Information Region, in offshore Class E airspace below 10,000 feet MSL.

How to adjust air speed in an in-trail situation?

Compensate for compression when assigning air speed adjustment in an in‐trail situation by using one of the following techniques: Reduce the trailing aircraft first. Increase the leading aircraft first. Assign a specific airspeed if required to maintain spacing.

What was the speed limit in the United States in 1974?

For 13 years (January 1974–April 1987), federal law withheld Federal highway trust funds to states that had speed limits above 55 mph (89 km/h).

What’s the maximum speed you can go over the speed limit?

15 mph (24 km/h) over limit at a travelled speed of greater than 55 mph (89 km/h) or over 80 mph (130 km/h) Prayer for judgment continued (PJC) available depending on the court and subject to their discretion, but not available for charges of exceeding a speed limit by more than 25 mph (40 km/h).

When did the speed limit change to 55 miles per hour?

But statistical records of motor vehicle fatalities since the repeal of the 55 miles per hour (89 km/h) National Maximum Speed Limit in 1995 indicate that total traffic deaths in the United States have declined from 41,817 that year to 32,479 in 2011, the lowest level in 60 years, before increasing to 37,133 in 2017.
