Also known as the CX300, it is designed for a pilot to fly as many as five passengers or 1,250 pounds of cargo and can be configured for either. The Alia is piloted using advanced flight computers and fly-by-wire controls. Electric Workhorse Alia is one of the most advanced electric designs under development.

All flight controls are actuated electronically, and theres no physical link between the control sidesticks in the cockpit and the flight surfaces. The electronic actuation is governed by a flight computer, which is able to move the ailerons very precisely.

Computation Tools and Calculators And heres some more good news: There are plenty of tools available to help you with the math! Pilots use the E6-B, a traditional flight computer that will help calculate wind correction angles, fuel burn, and ground speed. You can also work for private, charter, and cargo companies.

If you add only the given weights (usually weights are defined for pilot, passengers, fuel, and cargo), the total will be far too low and your answer won’t make sense. Make sure to bring an E6B flight computer into your exam in case you need to calculate density altitude or find a temperature conversion.

Flight Computers Flight computers such as the E6B have the functionality to calculate density altitude. Consult sources on the specific use of a flight computer, like an E6B, for determining density altitude. Consider taking less fuel, cargo, or passengers when operating into high-density airfields.
