There was such a shudder involved with that, we couldn’t focus on the engine instrumentation. A cloud of smoke came in, probably from the exploded engine, through the air conditioning system. There was nothing to look at in the cockpit. I couldn’t focus on anything. I ...

Low compression, non-uniform fuel distribution, faulty ignition, and clogged injectors diminish the efficiency of the combustion process that generates power. From the cockpit you can adjust the fuel/air ratio by a process called leaning. Retarding the mixture control changes the fuel/air ratio and...
It doesn’t have any computerized glass cockpit equipment. It’s very design will force you to actually fly the aircraft and learn how to negotiate the world around you visually and with the basic instrumentation so vital to a pilot’s survival. It can fly really slowly, too, and is a ...
and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and... ...
In a pure glider that’s the only practical way to eliminate the risk of having to land in some farm field right when the sun goes down, perhaps forcing me to spend the night in the cockpit. Again, the equation is subtly different in a motor glider. Thanks to having an engine I ...

They produce quality pilots, but again there’s a lag time problem: industry growth is far outpacing the rate at which ab initio schemes can produce cockpit-ready pilots. This has forced airlines from Asia to go hunting for pilots in the U.S. and elsewhere, sometimes offering huge salaries...
to accommodate such motors and associated elements at, in, or alongside the throttles within the cockpit, and capable of accepting the significant additional weight associated with these systems and their component parts, are able to incorporate such autothrottles into and with their flight controls....
