There’s even an alert for weight and balance when your center of gravity is out of limits. The alert will only sound once every 60 seconds and is automatically disabled if groundspeed is less than 40 knots. The alert is only triggered when groundspeed is above 40 knots or the connected device does not have a GPS fix.

Presumably, the pilot was flying on an instrument flight plan, as the flight maintained a cruise altitude of 7,000 feet (and ADS-B groundspeed of 125 to 130 knots) until about 12:53 p.m. The pilot’s adult twin son and daughter were on board and also died in the tragic crash. local time, roughly three hours into the flight.

A headwind lowers groundspeed , making landing easier. High-wing aircraft are particularly vulnerable due to their higher center of gravity. Discover ways to stay proficient with regular practice. Why Crosswind Landings Aren’t Easy Ideally, pilots want the wind to hit the aircraft dead on the nose while landing.
