Now consider that VAOAI is to be added in to the cockpit. Newer GA glass cockpits may have the data and compute power to address this, but the cost to implement and product liability may hamper implementation, especially if the augmentation algorithms must be tailored to invidual airplanes or installations.

Cockpit Layout and Avionics The cockpit of the Piper Seminole is designed for ease of use and accessibility, with flight instruments arranged for quick scanning. Approach speeds typically range from 80 to 90 knots depending on weight and flap settings, while full flaps are often used to provide the necessary lift during landing.

For example, as a cold front passes, surface winds may shift from southwesterly to northwesterly, while winds above may continue from the west. All these and more create the perfect recipe for wind shear. Make the most of the tools in your cockpit and coordinate effectively with your crew.

Moisture, instability, lift, and wind shear are needed to form and sustain a squall line. Lifting Mechanism Squall lines tend to develop along cold fronts, warm fronts, or dry lines. It’s these areas that act as natural lifting zones. Once lifted, moist air can reach saturation and release latent heat.

At Leopard Aviation , we teach this maneuver early on because knowing when and how to go around is a key part of good judgment in the cockpit. Weather Conditions: Sudden changes in weather, such as wind shear, gusts, or rapidly decreasing visibility, can make landing unsafe. What defines a go-around maneuver?

These maneuvers include an engine failure on takeoff, loss of lift on the wing during departure, en route, and approach, crosswind landings, wind shear scenarios, engine inoperative landings, low visibility landings, crash landings and evacuation. I believe that airline pilots are the most scrutinized profession in the world.

Airborne Wind Shear Detection During the 1980s and 1990s, NASA led a comprehensive research program to identify the characteristics of dangerous wind shear and validated technologies that can predict its severity while in flight.
