As the name implies, the VSI shows the rate of the aircrafts climb or descent. It shows the rate of climb or descent in feet per minute. The faster the rate of climb or descent, the greater the differential pressure, and the more the needle will swing. How Does The System Give Inputs To The VSI? How Do We Fix Failures In Flight?

You are able to view the traffic of the tarmac from the windows of the corridor which lead to the end of the pier. At this point, we started our descent. There are a few cafes to enjoy a meal before departure. Let's check out the gates. This is BA Cityflyer ERJ-190 E1. The walkway towards the gates. The weather in Milan was gloomy.

I communicated my intentions and began my descent. When the wheels finally made contact with the tarmac, I felt a profound sense of relief mixed with frustration. As I began my descent back into Lanseria International Airport, I felt a renewed sense of purpose and accomplishment. The landing was rough.

Thanks to him, I was able to enjoy the hotel's breakfast and tarmac view in his room. Not long after, we started our descent into Subang Airport. We hit some light turbulence during our descent. On the day of departure My first stop of the day was to meet a good friend at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. It was not a bad day for flying.

The view of the tarmac. Not long after, we started our descent. There was a bit of light turbulence during our descent. We passed by this A320CEO being prepared for departure. A lot of Aegean airlines aircraft waiting for their next duty. My aircraft was parked beside this old livery of Aegean's A320. Beautiful, isn't it?
