Quality or Quantity? What's More Important To You As A Pilot?

In every aspect of life, be it personal or professional, a sleek review or revisit of the various phases are very important as that helps you to consider various factors in terms of quality or quantity. Quality and Quantity are two pivotal determinants of how you assess your life. The same thing applies when you are assessing your flight life and you have to consider all factors either qualitatively or quantitatively, and this eventually brings out a big part of your personality and your ways of thinking.  For instance, majority pilots would analyze their flight life in terms of the number of hours and the variations of aircraft models that they have flown with. This is, however, mostly the quantitative benchmark that shows just one side of a pilot's professional life. It doesn't give you a clear idea about the person's personality or their attitude towards their profession.  However, assessing your flight life qualitatively is tough as it depends a lot on

Turning An Aircraft Need Some Guidelines! Check Them Out

What inspires your learning process in flying an aircraft is how much ready you’re in learning various controls of the aircraft. The quicker, you learn the controls, the speedily you learn how to fly an airplane. You need to know how different controls affect the light status of the aircraft. There are various display controls like aircrafttachometer or speedometer , while there are some other controls, needed for other activities like turning an aircraft etc. Today, we will guide you on how to turn an aircraft. Learn the Concept of How An Airplane Turns With the banking of the wings, the aircraft make their turns possible, which can be done with the banking of the wings in the desired direction at a particular angle, which is referred to as bank angle. Types of Aircraft Turn There are three aircraft turns, which are categorized as follows: Shallow Turn: When the bank angle is less than 20 degrees, the turn of the airplane is categorized as Shallow Turn.

Guide To Control The Aircraft: Some Tips To Ponder Upon!

Flying an Aircraft is truly an exhilarating task, which offers you an immense excitement and joy. Aircraft flying requires controlling several mechanisms while flying and controlling along with taking off and landing. In an effort to control the Aircraft, we must know several facts and must learn what several controls like Speedometer or Aircraft tachometer denotes. Here’s the list: Learning the controls: In an effort to successfully fly an aircraft, you must learn the controls. Get yourself familiar with the controls and their functions. The controls are the flight control available in the cockpit and also pay attention to the fuel mixture and throttle controls. Get yourself familiar with the flight instruments: Getting familiar with the flight controls in the form of aircraft tachometer , speedometer , Turn and Bank Indicator, Artificial Horizon, Heading Indicator and Vertical Speed Indicator are some of the controls and indicators, whi

Aircraft Buying Guide for First-Time Buyers!

Buying your first aircraft is both exciting and confusing. It is a big investment deal and one has to consider so many factors before taking the final decision. There are a number of airplanes out there but you don’t know which one to go for.

Don’t just rush to buy one, take your time and then decide . After a

How Tachometers And Encoders Are Different?

When talking about tachometers and encoders, these control systems mainly differ on the feedback that each one of them gives. Though both ensure reliable, smooth and accurate operation, but a little confusion between these terms often leads to over-design or over-engineering because it is possible for tachometers to perform a basic function as encoders. And, the best part is a simple tachometer can do the job of a wide range of complex encoders. So what sets them apart when they can perform same? Well, actually both encoders and tachometers are designed to provide you information about the movement of a motor shaft. The only difference that makes them different is that a tachometer is used to measure a speed while encoders are used to calculate the position. In order to understand them in a better way, let’s discuss both the devices one by one: Coming over to Tachometers first, it is the device that is designed to calculate the rpm of a motor. One can achieve this in

An Overview Of Different Types Of Tachometers

Tachometers , a sensor and a measuring device that is used for calculating the revolution speed of the rotating objects. It is used for objects like shafts or disk in the motor of the motor vehicles or other machines where rotation speed is the driving force and is measured in “revolutions per minute” of the rotating object. Talking about its construction, the device comprises a dial, needle, and markings, where needle indicates the result received and markings point at the safe and dangerous levels of the rotating speed that is being measured. Its usage is of extreme importance in many vehicles, which enables the driver to efficiently track the rotating speed along with adjusting the throttle and the gear to the driving conditions. This is done to protect the vehicles from insufficient lubrication, which can cause a breakdown. That is why tachometers form an indispensable part of any vehicle gear. They are an integral part of all those operations where timing and
