Most aircraft have an advanced flight management system that oversees critical systems in a multi-function display, including: Fuel usage Hydraulic control Electric motors The pilot will maintain these key parts of an airplane through various controls and large LCD screens inside the cockpit.

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. Air Law : Knowing the rules of the sky is essential for every pilot.

Air Traffic Management Over the decades, NASA has developed a number of air traffic management simulation tools, including: Center TRACON Automation System (CTAS) – 1990s: CTAS is a suite of software tools developed by NASA that generates new information for air traffic controllers.

Winglets and Sharklets Both Airbus and Boeing operate aircraft with wingtip devices that are designed to increase aircraft efficiency by removing drag. The devices would prove to “reduce wingtip drag” and increase “fuel efficiency by 6-7%” but would need be positioned uniquely for each aircraft type.

keyed the mic, and asked air traffic controller (“RAPCON”) for “vectors to Buffalo.” Shucks, forty-five more seconds at this speed and I’ll blow right past the VFR entry point, right into the center runway approach, then on to Arkansas. Then I suddenly thought “Ask for vectors, dummy!,” No one did that, by the way.

Once in cruise, I prefer to be on an instrument plan for multi-state cross countries because it guarantees coordination with air traffic control and simplifies dealing with any clouds encountered along the way. The hungry bear actually dragged the garbage can partway up the mountain before abandoning it.

If dangerous wind shear is detected, the LLWAS will display the hazard to air traffic controllers (ATCs), who will relay the warning to all pilots at the relevant frequencies. Keep wings level to prevent unnecessary drag or instability. Your top priority is to regain and maintain airspeed. Dont lower the nose!

The aviation supply chain remains more challenging than ever forcing business models to become more resilient, the boss of Wizz Air told World Aviation Festival. Speaking at the event in Amsterdam this week, József Váradi picked out problems with OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and Air Traffic Control (ATC) as particular issues.

Clear communication with air traffic control (ATC) is essential at this stage to receive landing clearance and avoid conflicts with other aircraft. Managing the critical engine, which is the engine closest to the aircrafts wingtip, is key to reducing drag and maintaining control.
