Everyday English ASI blocked The blocking of an airspeed indicator can present serious challenges for pilots during flight. To prevent and mitigate the risks associated with blocked airspeed indicators pilots undergo training to recognize and respond effectively to such emergencies. A mnemonic aid like „PUDSUC“ helps to recall the effects of a blocked …
Everyday English Pilot Flying and Pilot Not Flying In aviation PNF and PF refer to the Pilot Not Flying and Pilot Flying roles within the cockpit. The PF is responsible for physically controlling the aircraft including tasks such as flying the plane, maneuvering and executing procedures. On the other hand, the PNF …
Everyday English First, make sure you have enough runway to come to a complete stop. Reduced braking means your ground roll will be longer. As you roll out from your touch down, use aerodynamic braking. By maximizing the drag produced by your control surfaces, you can help slow yourself with reduced effort on your …
Everyday English Hypoxia is by definition a lack of sufficient oxygen in the blood. Symptoms are hard to identify mainly because the first organ affected is the brain, this causes bad judgment over the overall situation. Another challenging factor is the fact, that hypoxia occurs gradually, this means you might just fall into a deadly …
Everyday English Microburst is a type of wind shear that mostly arises during strong thunderstorms but is actually very rare to observe. Falling moisture (rain) together drags a large amount of air towards the ground and creates downdraft. The presence of microbursts is hard to identify, the only clue is the large amount of rain …
Everyday English The optional Garmin GFC 700 autopilot features electronic stability and underspeed protection providing pilots with an added measure of protection and correction. When a pilot exceeds user-selected pitch, roll, or airspeed limitations the Garmin autopilot provides gentle movements on the flight controls to adjust the aircraft’s pitch attitude or bank angle adding a wide …

Everyday English A squall line is a narrow band of active thunderstorms. Often it develops ahead of a cold front in unstable air. It may also develop in unstable air far removed from any front. The line may be too long to detour easily and too wide and severe to penetrate. It often …
Everyday English Dew and Frost. On cool clear and calm nights the temperature of the ground and objects drops. Then the surface can cause temperatures of the surrounding air to drop below the dew point. When this occurs the moisture in the air condenses and deposits itself on the ground and objects …
Everyday English Somatogravic illusions occur during rapid acceleration and deceleration in flight. This illusion usually happens when there’s limited exterior visibility and you react to body senses over actual flight instrument readings. Imagine, you’re flying an training instrument approach.As you reach decision altitude the runway is nowhere in sight. As you add power to …
Everyday English Lateral stability is the quality that makes an aircraft stable about its longitudinal axis. Positive lateral stability helps to stabilize the lateral or “rolling effect” when one wing gets lower than the wing on the opposite side of the aircraft. Příčná stabilita je vlastnost, díky které je letadlo stabilní kolem své podélné …
