The preliminary investigation into the crash of an Air India flight in June suggests the fuel supply to the engines was shut off shortly after takeoff—an act that surprised both pilots, according to the cockpit voice recorder (CVR). On the cockpit voice recording, one of the pilots is heard asking the other why he shut off the fuel.

These two simple features power three of the most important cockpit instruments. As the name implies, the VSI shows the rate of the aircrafts climb or descent. It shows the rate of climb or descent in feet per minute. This setup is called the pitot-static system. How Does The System Give Inputs To The VSI?

The flaps on an aircraft are used for controlled descents with slower airspeed during the approach and landing. When landing without flaps, pilots must adjust their techniques to compensate for higher approach speeds, a shallow descent angle, and longer landing distances. What is the purpose of flaps? What should you do?

Combining the data shown on your cockpit instruments helps you make better judgments. One example is Indicated Airspeed (IAS), which is the airspeed you read directly from cockpit instruments. A positive reading means you’re climbing, while a negative one indicates descent. In a climb or descent, this is just as true.
