The electronic E6B is equally useful when in the airplane, to help determine actual winds aloft, true airspeed, fuel burn, and descent planning. Well use the Sportys electronic E6B flight computer in this quiz when calculating flight planning and navigation questions. 926 175 167 Correct! knots Correct!

A positive reading means you’re climbing, while a negative one indicates descent. If the VSI shows a steady zero reading, you’re in level flight. Airspeed and VSI: When you adjust airspeed, your rate of climb or descent may also change. In a climb or descent, this is just as true. Which readings should go hand-in-hand?

This led to EPU4 losing its tilting function; as a result the flight computer spooled it down, as designed for a tilt fault. A vertical descent rate of 19.5 feet per second is twice the maximum descent speed and it collapsed under the impact. A vertical descent rate of 19.5

In most flight schools, the practical flight training portion will follow a set progression: Basic aircraft control : Learning to fly straight and level, make turns, and perform climbs and descents. Navigation : Planning and going on cross-country flights. Flight planning : Calculating time, distance, and fuel needs.

For the pilots (often lapsed CFIs) who argue that the cockpits of turboprops and jets have flight management systems and backups on backups for navigation that will tell you wind correction angles, ground speed, time en route, etc.,

The resulting loss of lift leads to a rapid descent by the aircraft. All flight controls are actuated electronically, and theres no physical link between the control sidesticks in the cockpit and the flight surfaces. The electronic actuation is governed by a flight computer, which is able to move the ailerons very precisely.
