My son Toby was complaining about a whistling sound from our right cockpit door, and when established in the cruise, the first miles into the Atlantic Ocean, he saw that there was a gap between the door and the airplane fuselage, creating that sound and letting cold air in. So perfect weather. after DEVBI with Iceland Radio.

Photo by Franz from Wikimedia Commons The Civil Aviation Ministry's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has retrieved the wrecked Air India Express Flight 1344's black box and the cockpit voice recorder on Saturday. It indicated that wind was blowing from 260°, which meant that Flight 1344 landed with 11 knots tailwind.

With March being one of those "you never know what you're going to get" months in the wintry north, I found myself creeping forward, state to state, VFR only, and hypervigilant of weather conditions. These were days before the proliferation of AWOS/ASOS stations and the advent of ADS-B (FIS-B) weather displayed on a tablet in the cockpit. (A

What altitude would you like?” All this as I was in a forty-five degree bank doing a 180, looking out the cockpit at my white wings. I then by golly got on the instruments, saw I was 17 degrees nose high, airspeed falling through 130 knots. That’s why the ADI is so huge and is in the center of the cockpit. Whoa Nelly.

Airlines are upgrading older cockpits with newer displays, so this old indicator will soon become a relic. V MO on the 767 is between 340-360 knots (depending on aircraft serial number). Airspeed Pointer The airspeed pointer shows the indicated airspeed in knots as generated by the Air Data Computer.

I checked the weather by phone and was assured it would be great CAVU (ceiling and visibility unlimited) with 2-3-knot winds from 090 degrees. I reached into the cockpit instantly and pulled the throttle to idle. A little more investigation revealed that the club’s mechanic had just completed a 100-hour inspection.

Maybe it’s the Georgia flying weather, or maybe it’s the ever-increasing emphasis on “old” pilot instead of “bold” pilot, but it seems that flight planning these days is a lot more about if and when than about route and altitude. And managing fatigue in the hot cockpit flying into the sun still had to be taken into account.

In a T-6, I don’t care what you do, realistically, normal conditions, you might get 140 knots. That P-64 will cruise around all day at 180, 190 knots.

Although the names of the two men in the cockpit have been released, the statement did not include who was flying. The weather was clear with scattered clouds and light winds. The Lancair ES brochure gives a stall speed of 65 mph, which is just over 56 knots. The owner of the aircraft has been flying since at least 2012.
