The six primary instruments (the six-pack) are the Attitude Indicator (AI), Heading Indicator (HI), Turn Coordinator, Airspeed Indicator, Altimeter, and the Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI). For example, when the ball is displaced to the left, this informs the pilot that left rudder input is required. vertical speed), and airspeed.

First, the airplane is more stable in pitch than bank and, if you are a typical VFR pilot, you refer to the altimeter more than to the heading indicator. Just as an excessive climb or descent will cause you to overshoot altitude, an excessive rate of turn results in overshooting the target heading. Now let’s look at descents.

Increasing altitude – read from your altimeter. Decreasing altitude – read from your altimeter. An increasing rate of descent. Decreasing altitude – read from your altimeter. High rate of descent – shown on your vertical speed indicator. Use rudder to check balance.

Brief that you will use the right rudder to align the aircraft straight with the runway and the left aileron to counteract drift. Descent Point Nominate a descent point that will give you a constant 3° profile to the threshold. We can calculate the rate of descent required to achieve a 3° profile. Good question.

It’s just S-turns with climbs and descents, right? We counteract adverse yaw by applying rudder in the direction of the turn. The amount of rudder required depends on roll rate and airspeed. Airspeed and attitude change constantly, and we must change rudder input along with them. Glance at your altimeter.

Any substantial changes to speed and descent rate will destabilize the landing. The drag allows for a steeper descent, which is particularly helpful when avoiding obstacles. The local altimeter setting is 29.65, the temperature is 25°C, and we have a 9-knot headwind. Our imaginary destination airport is at 1,500 feet MSL.
