In our workshop we'll be using energy management concepts in all phases of flight to improve decision making with a focus on emergencies in all phases of flight. During our simulator session, we will be presented with a scenarios that will challenge our use of these concepts in order to observe reactions to stress and critical thinking.

Pilot Proficiency at EAA AirVenture 2024
Flying an airplane is not like driving a car. We all know that, but what do we really know? How does the airplane climb? What drives performance? How do we control angle of attack? We'll get to the bottom of this, together.
Climb performance and maneuvering performance are key indicators of your airplane's performance. We'll examine speed (V), G-load (G), and power (P) to reveal a 3D picture of performance for specified conditions.
We'll use the sim to apply the mechanics of energy management. Controlling angle of attack with pitch, controlling altitude with power. Coordinating elevator and throttle movements to achieve desired performance.
