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. In the VSIs case, the static pressure enters the instrument through the static pressure line that you can see in the diagram. If theyre blocked, your instruments can give false or no readings.

The indication given is a rate of climb or descent in feet per minute (fpm). There is a diaphragm located inside the instrument and is connected to the static line. The difference acts on the diaphragm, which is connected to the instrument’s needle, and gives the pilot an indication of the rate of climb or rate of descent.

by Gustin Robinson, FAA CFI-I ASEL Flying under instrument meteorological conditions keeps even a good pilot on their toes. As a student pilot you were always taught “see and avoid”, keep your eyes outside, etc.

We spent some time in instrument meteorological conditions over Vermont. Since we lost our LPV approaches due to obstructions along the final approach course, the downgraded LNAV minimum descent altitude for the approach to runway 28 was 558 feet above the ground. Sometimes I have good luck switching to runway 10." "If

This is often the result of the aircraft picking up excessive airspeed as a result of pilot disorientation in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC), followed by an abrupt pitch-up after exiting the bottom of the cloud. This all unraveled quickly. In between were corrections assigned by ATC for heading and altitude.

” This is especially common when flying in IMC (Instrument Meteorological Conditions) —like clouds or fog—when you can’t see outside. Narrow runway: Feels higher than you are, leading to a steep descent and faster landing. Why is this a big deal?
