If you’re aiming to get comfortable with managing both airspeed and altitude in flight, you’ll need to understand the difference between indicated airspeed (IAS) and true airspeed (TAS). Key Takeaways Airspeed and altitude are directly linked to each other throughout different phases of your flight.

The student pilot may initially struggle to understand the functions of an E6B flight computer. But pilots around the globe rely on this indispensable gadget for charting their flights, crunching numbers to determine time in transit, fuel usage, and necessary adjustments for wind shifts. What Is an E6B and Why Do Pilots Use It?

The pilot died instantly. A TV news crew interviewed a local flyer who knew the accident pilot well since both had planes at the Boulder City Municipal Airport (KBVU) in Nevada. “I I think there are only about 150 hours on it,” he said when asked about the plane and pilot. The pilot learned to fly in the U.S.
