Attitude indicator and altimeter: Use the attitude indicator to maintain your desired pitch angle for level flight. Then, check the altimeter to confirm that you’re holding your altitude, or approaching the altitude you want. You can use a flight computer like an E6B or onboard avionics to determine your true airspeed.

We usually receive them before important phases of flight. For example, approaching a selected altitude. Glass cockpits often feature automation and flight computers to help reduce workload. Meaning your eyes have to travel a shorter distance to read the information. Which can add up to the overall cost of ownership.

Modern simulators like X-Plane and Microsoft Flight Simulator offer incredibly realistic graphics, aerodynamic modeling, and dynamic weather environments. For student pilots, this can be an invaluable tool for practicing everything from traffic patterns and VFR navigation to emergency procedures and instrument approaches.

For landing, it means a shorter landing roll and a slower approach speed over the ground, offering enhanced control. For landing, it increases your groundspeed on approach and extends the landing distance. Requires great expertise at low altitudes (take-off, approach and landing), where there is less room for manoeuvre.

The second pilot put on protective gear and approached the aircraft with a “high-voltage trained hook man” to shut down the electrical systems. This led to EPU4 losing its tilting function; as a result the flight computer spooled it down, as designed for a tilt fault.

Learn to avoid common mistakes during approach, roundout, touchdown, and rollout. We have two main challenges when performing crosswind landings: Staying aligned with the extended centerline on the approach. Staying Aligned on the Approach Crosswinds try to “push” the aircraft off the approach course.
