Practicing stalls will also help you learn the low airspeed flight characteristics of the airplane, and how to control the airplane at low airspeeds which is what you will encounter while maneuvering in the traffic pattern and approaching to land. At the normal approach speed, lower the nose to the approach pitch attitude.

Autothrottles typically synchronize with the autopilot and operate in either speed or thrust mode, creating many practical hands-free benefits, like flight envelope over- and under-speed protection. Many modern aircraft also offer an additional power boost in case of an engine failure during takeoff known as reserve thrust.

Understanding the Basics of Flight Aerodynamics 101 Flying a small plane revolves around understanding four key forces: lift, thrust, drag, and weight. Thrust, produced by the engine, propels the plane forward, overcoming drag, which is the resistance caused by air. Our goal is to help you approach every landing with confidence.
