This will generally convey information about the flight time remaining, the weather at the destination, and the flight crew thanking you for choosing their airline and wishing you a safe onward journey once on the ground.

When thinking of ways to display your mastery of flight, most of us dream about buttery-smooth landings, or maybe maneuvers flown so precisely that the altimeter needles might as well have been just painted on. Firm is about as nice as I can describe our arrival, and “Take that, Daytona Beach!” danced on the tip of my tongue as we rolled out.

The ADC processes the data and sends it to various aircraft systems including airspeed/Mach indicators (like the SI-800), altimeters, Flight Management Systems (FMS), Autopilot Flight Director System (AFDS), elevator feel computers, and more. The speeds are based on aircraft weight and performance (affected by runway and weather).

Weather It’s a good idea to brief any weather that could make your landing more challenging. But this can be hard to judge when the altimeter is so sensitive. This is because only one engine produces thrust. This will make you more prepared for what is to come. Remember, a briefing is designed to be brief. Good question.

I really enjoy the walk-around and never delegate in bad weather… typhoon, snow, sunshine, I don’t care. AeroData provides the crew with runway-specific takeoff thrust setting, speeds, flap setting, and critical engine out performance data. The captain performs the walk-around at my airline (first officer at many other carriers).
