Today’s #Mnemonic from @edenflighttraining A A A AIMING POINT ATTITUDE AIRSPEED AIMING POINT: On approach to landing, the aiming point (a section of Runway) should remain constant on the windscreen. If it moves up you are too low, if it moves down you are too high and action should be taken to correct. ATTITUDE: Your attitude is controlled by the use of THROTTLE. Attitude governs the glide path and position of the Aiming Point. An increase in power raises the nose, and a decrease in power lowers the nose. AIRSPEED: This is governed by the PITCH of the aircraft and is corrected by inputs of forward and back pressure using the Yoke to control the elevator or stabilator dependent upon the aircraft flown. Pitching Up slows the aircraft and pitching down increases airspeed. The link between Attitude and Airspeed is one which will come with practice and small inputs of throttle and yoke together (known as Pitch and Power) to maintain a constant angle and airspeed will usually be required. An aircraft descending on final approach at a constant rate and airspeed is traveling in a straight line toward a spot on the ground ahead. When on a stabilised approach the runway shape does not change. If the approach becomes shallow, the runway appears to shorten and become wider. Conversely, if the approach is steepened, the runway appears to become longer and narrower. Achieving a stabilised approach and considering all other aspects whilst doing so (such as Trim and instruments) will support a smooth approach and landing. #FlyingChecklist #Mnemonics #CommitToMemory #FlyWithEden #LearnWithEden #SummerFlying #StudentPilot #ExperienceFlight #TrialFlight #PilotForAnHour #LearnToFly #CommercialPilot #PPL #LAPL #PA38 #PiperTomahawk #Runway23 #Runway05 #GRVND #GAXZD #GBOXC #GBTFP #GOEFT @BoseAviation @transairflightequipment #SkyDemon (at Eden Flight Training) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBfB7_TlIqM/?igshid=4xy1tlesfo3m
