According to the Aviation Herald, the aircraft was climbing through 34,000ft (10,363m) over the Indian Ocean and approaching Indonesian airspace when the issues began. With this system coming online, the aircraft’s autopilot and auto thrust systems disengaged as the systems could not agree on the true airspeed of the aircraft.

Operations below minimums on an instrument approach can be quite simple if the ceilings and visibilities are significantly above minimums. Lets take a deep dive into what it takes to get an airplane on the ground after a successful instrument approach. Another way to tell the distance is by using the approach lights.

Naval Academy, approached the problem by setting lift-drag ratio, L/D, as his metric of efficiency. Carsons approach was mathematically elegant but assumed that time and fuel were of equal value to a hypothetical pilot. These are indicated, not true, airspeeds.) Again, these are indicated airspeeds.

If you’re aiming to get comfortable with managing both airspeed and altitude in flight, you’ll need to understand the difference between indicated airspeed (IAS) and true airspeed (TAS). Key Takeaways Airspeed and altitude are directly linked to each other throughout different phases of your flight.

The Bonanza lay crumpled up in an empty lot just 2,400 feet from the approach end of the runway. While it wasn’t a particularly hot day, Big Bear’s density altitude was reported as 8,200 feet, resulting in a higher true airspeed compared to indicated airspeed. Moments later, the airplane crashed. Fuel is not mentioned.

If you can manage to do so without putting yourself at risk after leaving your last cleared routing, you should: Maintain a true airspeed of no more than 400knots and preferably an altitude between 10,000 and 25,000feet. You can say: Approach, confirm squawk code for N123AB? Fly a course to the hijackers announced destination.

With the push of a button, the distance, fuel required, ETE, and ETA will then be calculated for the selected route, with the option to display fuel burn, true airspeed, winds aloft, and more at various altitude levels. Pilots can enter the desired route and select the altitude, speed, and fuel burn for their aircraft.
