Altimeter Knot Thrust 
Aerotime
DECEMBER 20, 2024
In gusty conditions, for example, crews tend to add a few knots to their touchdown speed, which allows for fluctuations in airspeed while on final approach. The same applies to the selecting of reverse pitch on turboprop aircraft, which translates the thrust produced by the rotating propellor forwards creating a slowing effect.

When thinking of ways to display your mastery of flight, most of us dream about buttery-smooth landings, or maybe maneuvers flown so precisely that the altimeter needles might as well have been just painted on. If given the controls while holding in position on the runway before takeoff, I got to release the brakes to begin the roll.

The ADC processes the data and sends it to various aircraft systems including airspeed/Mach indicators (like the SI-800), altimeters, Flight Management Systems (FMS), Autopilot Flight Director System (AFDS), elevator feel computers, and more. V MO on the 767 is between 340-360 knots (depending on aircraft serial number).

Take your ground speed in knots and divide it by two. So if your Vso is 50 knots, then aim to fly 70 knots. So if our stall speed was 50 knots, our approach speed would be 65 knots. But this can be hard to judge when the altimeter is so sensitive. This is because only one engine produces thrust.
