Everyday English Dynamic hydroplaning occurs when there is an excessive amount of water on the surface of the runway. It is a phenomenon resulting from the inability of the wheels to drain the water between the tire and the ground quickly enough.   This results in forming water wedge beneath the tire and causes the wheel

Everyday English SPECI   A Special Report, often abbreviated as SPECI, is a type of meteorological report in aviation that provides updated weather information when significant changes occur between regular METAR observations.   SPECI reports contain the same types of information as METAR reports. However, they reflect the most recent observations and are issued immediately to inform

Everyday English METAR   METAR which stands for Meteorological Aerodrome Report, is a standardized format for reporting weather conditions at an aerodrome.   These reports provide crucial information to pilots, air traffic controllers, and meteorologists to ensure safe and efficient aviation operations.   Observations are typically recorded at hourly intervals or more frequently if significant weather

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 pitot

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 contains
