Did you know that many pilots use the acceleration fuel pump linked to the throttle as primer? It's much easier to push and pull the throttle knob three times than...

The maintenance manual says about taxi and landing light adjustment: The landing and taxi lights are set to specified positions, but you can adjust them as necessary. The procedures that...

However, these instructions leave me scratching my head. First: to level the plane, the main gear needs to be raised, as the plane sits tail down on the floor. Second:...

May this be helpful.... http://blog.aveoengineering.com/2018/02/19/landing-and-taxi-lights-in-c172-comparison/

Correct beam angle of 19° is the angle where at least 50% of the peak intensity is reached; however, that could be a peak 1°, and a flat 18° just...

Found in the service manuals that the landing light uses GE 4596 or 4591 lamps, and the taxi light is a GE 4587 or 4626 lamp. They have different light...

Ahem, actually the trim tab balances the hinge moment of the elevator - sufficient air flow given. Both forces are proportional to speed squared; just with too low speed the...

If you multiply the trim-cmd-norm with q-bar and some constant that normalises it to 1 at max Va you will get what you need: speed dependent trim flap influence. One...

Yes that would work. Only that the force on the stick / yoke / rudder is proportional to movement and squared airspeed, which is not modelled in standard joysticks /...

The error in the alternate static system's pressure is not induced by the different temperature. There are two items: the selector valve works like a piston during switching which introduces...
