Plus, I think a leading-edge lift transducer is one of the most accurate ways of measuring AoA because the system is accurate regardless of aircraft weight, wing loading, turbulence or wing flap configuration. As the aircraft wing moves through the air it divides the air mass. For an OEM standard, I think the system can work well.

It features a high-wing design, which gives pilots better visibility of the ground and offers a bit more stability in turbulence due to its pendulum-like configuration. Both have been industry staples for decades, but there are key differences that can shape a student’s experience and a school’s training outcomes.

Along with several other forecasts not shown here, this made me believe that a route around the west side of Washington would provide the least exposure to adverse weather, especially as it relates to convective turbulence. There was no ground-based lightning showing up along the remainder of our route of flight despite the heavy rain.

However, when Gulfstream introduced its Honeywell-made Synthetic Vision System – Primary Flight Display to business aircraft in 2005, it was the real thing. The images will be remarkably realistic, especially on models with a 4K display. Many systems highlight terrain and obstacles to point out potential hazards.

An autopilot and Aspen primary flight display reduce workload on long flights. Bad data caused by turbulence, turns, and other anomalies was discarded. We like to keep our flights under 3 ½ hours so we can stretch, get a snack, and use a restroom. Pressure altitudes were converted to density altitude.
