After all, a cross country is a culmination of all of […] The post A Guide to IFR Flight Planning appeared first on Thrust Flight. It was one of the last things you did, and in hindsight, that probably makes sense.

In the aviation industry, where profit margins are slim and operational excellence is critical, flight planning, buffer time, and fuel management are key to improving operational efficiency. Regulatory Compliance : Adhering to international and national rules, securing necessary permissions, and planning for contingencies.

As a flight instructor I’ve taught this skill to many of my students. It’s an absolutely critical part of your pre-flight planning.

Aerodynamics and Flight Theory : Youll learn the basic principles behind flight, including the four forces: lift, thrust, drag, and weight. Knowing how these forces interact is essential for controlling an aircraft in different flight conditions. Both options provide the necessary knowledge for flight training.

These include lift, propeller thrust, and engine combustion. This actually decreases the engine’s efficiency in converting engine power into thrust. Reduced thrust means decreased aircraft performance and fuel efficiency. Jet engines also experience reduced thrust in less dense air. The post What Is Air Density?

Flashes of previous 737 experience, flight training, moving all over the planet, Phoenix, Girona, Rome, Barcelona, Hong Kong, manuals, operating procedures and limitations. I see my name on the crew list, I sign in and read the flight plan, notams and weather. Cleared for takeoff! ‘Set thrust.’

More air molecules in engine cylinders allow the engine to produce more power; more air molecules moving across the propellor blades and wings means more efficient thrust and lift. It’s used by aircraft operating under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR – flying in the clouds).

One was at the controls of an airplane alongside a CFI, and was preceded by flight planning and a preflight inspection. The participants also received a post flight debriefing. Another hour was flying a flight simulator where learning was easier without the flight deck noise and the need to look out for traffic.

Can you fly a zero-thrust, single-engine approach to minimums today? Too many pilots have believed the brochure brag of a 700-mile range and have flight planned accordingly, to their eventual regret. There’s a country song by the late Toby Keith that goes, “I ain’t as good as I once was, but I’m as good once as I ever was.”

They also planned to use a flap 15 setting to reduce the aircraft’s ground roll on the 8,000-foot runway. the crew’s flight planning software indicated the aircraft would require a takeoff distance of 5,972 feet. Flight planning tools don’t offer takeoff numbers for operations that exceed the aircraft’s limitations.

The rest is just lift, drag, thrust, weather, and navigation. ForeFlight plan filing seems to work in the Bahamas and Caribbean, but you wont always receive confirmation that it was received. The tower will tell you, and if it wasnt, it will usually accept a verbal flight plan over the radio. Oh, and some money.
