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

Everyday English Longitudinal stability is the quality that makes an aircraft stable about its lateral axis. It involves the pitching motion as the aircraft’s nose moves up and down in flight.    A longitudinally unstable aircraft has a tendency to dive or climb progressively into a very steep dive or climb, or even into a stall. Podélná stabilita

Everyday English A false horizon is an illusion caused by flying over a banked cloud, night flying over featureless terrain with ground lights that are indistinguishable from the dark sky with stars.    Or during a night flies over a featureless terrain with a clearly defined pattern of ground lights and starless sky.    The disoriented pilot will operate

Everyday English AIRPROX – short for Aircraft Proximity is a term used for the situation in which two aircraft come dangerously close.   AIRPROX incidents can occur for various reasons including miscommunication between ATC and pilots. Errors in navigation or altitude control or simply due to the density of air traffic in certain airspace.   Ultimately

Everyday English It is an electrically driven fuel pump usually of the centrifugal type.   It is located close to the lowest point of fuel tanks lines to provide fuel to the engine.   Especially for starting or to provide fuel pressure in case of engine driven pump failure.   It also pressurizes the fuel
