When converting from true course to magnetic heading, a pilot should add westerly variation and subtract left wind correction angle. The wind is from 340° at 10 knots, and the true airspeed is 90 knots. How far will an aircraft travel in 2 minutes with a groundspeed of 120 knots? 1521 1525 1516 Correct!

For pilots, understanding air density isn’t just about physics; its about safety and efficiency in every flight. Pilots calculate density altitude to assess and compensate for changes in air density. As pilots, we can use ISA as a reference for performance calculations. What Is Air Density? Air Density – 1.225m.

When stepping into the cockpit, one of the most important instruments that a pilot relies on is the airspeed indicator. Among the metrics displayed, Indicated Airspeed (IAS) stands out as a critical measure for safe and efficient flight operations. Mastering indicated airspeed is a cornerstone of becoming a skilled pilot.

A circling approach is one that, by dwindling numbers and its inherent design, forces the pilot(s) into a seldom used and high-risk evolution–often migrating us to an unexpected and seldom visited zip code of the threat/error management neighborhood. When was the last time either pilot (single pilot) performed this exact approach?

Transatlantic routes While safety is still the primary concern for pilots, today’s challenges are not so much the vastness and weather on this ocean, but traffic density and regulatory compliance. With jet cruise true airspeeds between 400 and 500 kts, this has a big effect on ground speed, and therefore on cruise performance and efficiency.

True Airspeed vs Indicated Airspeed VS Equivalent Airspeed Since airspeed indicators use air pressure to measure speed, the indicated airspeed can be less than the actual airspeed at higher altitudes. True airspeed (TAS) is the difference between the indicated airspeed and actual speed.

It was interesting and a lot of fun for a lot of reasons, with most of them having to do with not flying a jet and not being restricted by ATC and all the regulatory stuff that makes an airline pilot feel like he’s roped and tied.

Pilots rely on different instruments to help them traverse the skies. The rate of turn is dependent upon True Airspeed (TAS) and bank angle. In other words, for a higher True Airspeed, a greater bank angle is required to maintain the same rate of turn. One very important tool is the turn coordinator.
