This week on the Finer Points of Flying videotip, we will look closely at what wake turbulence is, how it forms and most importantly, how to avoid it.

This week we will look at water landings and ditching procedures.  Like any flight that involves significant terrain change, part of the pre-flight planning if preparing for that environment.  Learn today more about the emergency procedures during a water landing.

This week, weʼll explore further into the world of complex operations.  With more to do in the cockpit, it is important that proper checklist procedures are a part of every training flight.  Today, learn a few tips that can help optimize your procedures and significantly increase safety.

This week on the Finer Points of Flying Video Tip, we’ll look a little closer at the cloud formations to watch out for while flying through the mountains.  It is these formations that can alert you to hazardous conditions.

This week we will discuss procedures for leaning, and how to optimize aircraft performance by adjusting the mixture.

This week, we’ll be looking a little closer at why we lean the mixture during flight.  Learn the fundamentals and stay tuned for part III, where we will look at specific procedures to optimize your leaning technique.

This week on the Finer Points of Flying we will take a closer look at carburetor Ice, how it happens and how to avoid it.

This week we see an example of how synthetic vision works on the Cirrus Perspective by Garmin.  Synthetic Vision is available on many glass cockpit airplanes and it contributes to your flying safety.

This week on The Finer Points of Flying, we will talk about how to
effectively scan for traffic.  With GPS technology changing rapidly, more and more of our time is being spent in the cockpit rather than outside scanning for traffic.  We will continue last episodeʼs discussion of scanning and look at some techniques for integrated that with technically advanced aircraft.

This week on The Finer Points of Flying, we will talk about how to effectively scan for traffic.  With GPS technology changing rapidly, more and more of our time is being spent in the cockpit rather than outside scanning for traffic.  We will review tips on how to scan and review the FAA recommended procedures.
