Nowadays, modern aircraft are equipped with systems that can not only fly the aircraft but can also perform fully automated take-offs and landings and can even provide protection systems in the event of unusual flight situations that threaten the safety of the airplane and its occupants.

This is new territory for beginning pilots, who must be taught the right—and wrong—ways to manage ascent and descent. As with all airplane maneuvering, proper altitude changes are based on the foundational formula “power plus attitude equals performance.” It’s the wing that generates lift, not the engine.

Flight controls mean ailerons, elevator, and rudder, of course, but on some airplanes, if the trim is mis-set, the plane might be difficult or impossible to control. That flap retraction was not performed, and although the airplane made it into the air, it did not maintain sustained flight. Your airplane may be different.

At first glance, ailerons look like ordinary hinged panels on the wings, but don’t be fooledthey’re important for keeping an aircraft both stable and maneuverable. But theres much more to ailerons than just rolling left or right. Or how do modern airplanes reduce dangerous effects like aileron flutter or adverse yaw?

However, as Epic CEO Doug King told FLYING , the airplane was originally designed to be a big-engine, high-performance machine, unlike many manufacturers that start small and progressively add power. We note that the airplane we flew, the first AX off the line, equipped with nearly every option, had a useful load of 2,918 pounds.

Mechanical Factors Mechanical failures : Airplanes in general are very reliable, and major malfunctions are the minority. Recovering from a Nose-High Unusual Attitude: Simultaneously apply full power, level the wings with correct aileron/rudder pressure, and push forward on the controls to allow the airspeed to increase.

From basic turns to emergency descents, every maneuver shapes how a student reacts under pressure and handles real-world flying. Turns: Students practice shallow, medium, and steep turns to develop a feel for how the airplane behaves when banking. Controlled, safe descent techniques protect the pilot and passengers.
