Combining the data shown on your cockpit instruments helps you make better judgments. One example is Indicated Airspeed (IAS), which is the airspeed you read directly from cockpit instruments. Using the VSI and Altimeter for Stability The vertical speed indicator and altimeter are your best tools for maintaining a steady altitude.

As you step into the cockpit and start learning, you’ll quickly realize it’s about building good habits that make flying second nature. Key Takeaways Maintaining proper situational awareness inside and outside the cockpit is essential for flight safety. Sometimes, even a short break from the cockpit can affect your performance.

Every moment in the cockpit is precious, especially given the costs associated with flight training. 2) Prepare the Facts Beforehand I often have my students teach me a maneuver on the ground before we get into the airplane. What does your altimeter say to start the maneuver? See your visual landmark in front of you.

Chapter 4 of the FAA Airplane Flying Handbook is the poster child for this kind of pilot-abusing declamation. Can we simplify life by only talking about things that are actually displayed in the cockpit? Push down more on the gas pedal (throttle in an airplane), go faster. It’s much the same in an airplane. No problem.

Landing an airplane can be one of the most nerve-wracking tasks for a student pilot. Getting an airplane to fly is easy. When it’s your turn in the cockpit, you’ll know what to do—whether it’s a routine landing or something urgent. But this can be hard to judge when the altimeter is so sensitive.

Glass cockpit HSIs integrate maps, weather, and traffic for better situational awareness. Imagine were flying an HSI-equipped airplane away from VOR. The HSI has found its home in modern glass cockpit avionics, along with the altimeter and airspeed indicator. Whats the Difference between the HSI and CDI?

If youre in the aircraft, set the altimeter to 29.92 If you dont have access to an altimeter, you can manually calculate the pressure altitude. Conclusion The E6B is an incredible tool, and once you understand how to use it, you will find that it empowers you in the cockpit. and read the altitude shown. Subtract it from 29.92.

They gave me a squawk code and the altimeter setting, and with that, the flight was underway. After that, it was just me and the airplane. I reminded myself to stay calm and keep flying the airplane, and sure enough, there it was, just west of the city. Organization in the cockpit is everything. Not so much.

Most of the emergency procedures training we do in general aviation airplanes center around just two simple words: “What if?” Just like the airline glass cockpits, this is called systems integration. So, what is a thinking pilot of an older, upgraded airplane to do? When everything works as advertised, it is a sight to see.
