Mid-Tier The MFG Crosswind pedals are twice the price of the Logitech pedals, but they are a significant step up in quality. The Crosswinds use Hall sensors for both rudder and brakes, making them very precise.

Carroll County Airport (4M1) is the closest airport to town center, although it does not offer jet-A fuel.

The principle is the same whether the aircraft gets thrust from propellers or jet engines. A propeller forces air backward, while a jet engine ignites a mixture of air and fuel to generate hot gases that eject backward. In jet engines, increasing throttle increases the fuel flow, producing more exhaust gases that can be flung backward.

This type of design is common in delta-winged aircraft such as fighter jets. The downside of this approach is a lack of redundancy. UA232 was a McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10, a tri-jet.

Back in the early days of jet airliners, pilots long experienced in more forgiving two- and four-engine, piston-powered prop planes found themselves running out of airspeed, altitude, and ideas on the final approach to landing. Several of these unstabilized approaches resulted in major aircraft damage or worse.

The HGS-6000 is certified in the US and abroad for low-visibility takeoff (LVTO) and manual Cat III approaches, and delivers superior low-operating minima guidance. Additional features, such as speed offsets, velocity cues, and crosswind adjustments enhance precision, particularly during approach and in turbulent or crosswind conditions.

The CRJ is interesting to fly with a lot of trimming required as it’s a long-bodied jet with a large swing either side of the CG. I mean, all jets I have flown are like that, but this is fairly sensitive to pitch, power, and flap configuration—all requiring lots of trimming. With a lighter corporate jet, that is powerful.
