High-performance airplanes and jets incorporate a pressurization system to provide a comfortable cabin environment for the flight crew and passengers. In this video, we’ll show how this system works in piston-engine airplanes, like a Piper Malibu, and how the pilot control it from the flight deck.

Some of them seem funny to us now, like the fact that most of our airplanes had no radios or, God forbid, transponders and ELTs, while other facets of the 1970s are tragic. When I became an airline pilot at the beginning of 1979, the training classes and flight decks were male only clubs.

by Leslie Caubble, CFI/IGI Chair flying is a great, low-cost way to increase the effectiveness of your flight training. Chair flying is a technique to practice your flying skills by either sitting in the airplane on the ground, using a simulator, or sitting in front of a poster of your flight deck.

Its wisdom has been applied to everything from home life to business dealings and has its place on the flight deck as well. While complete engine failures are not common, the stakes are high which is why pilots train extensively for such occurrences and why they get evaluated as part of a checkride. E Execute.

You’ll pay an hourly rate for the aircraft rental, flight or ground instruction, and simulator use. There are other costs involved such as an online ground school, handbooks, a headset, knowledge test fees, possible fuel surcharges, and checkride fees.

As the airplane climbs in altitude, the static pressure decreases. If the static port becomes blocked, the alternate static source can be opened, which will then read the static pressure inside the flight deck. Inside the altimeter is a stack of aneroid wafers which expand and contract with changes the static pressure.
