The slower you fly, the more air you will need to fly through. A simple analogy: If you are driving on a road that is moving backwards and you drive rally fast, the road hasn't had time to add much more distance to your travel. If you are traveling at just over the speed the road is travelling backwards, you will need to travel a hell of a long time to get where you are going. It's all a matter of "distance" travelled. Would it be more fuel efficient to travel faster when you are flying against the jet stream? If you do this you will traverse the least amount of "air"/"road" compared to travelling slower. If this is a recognised phenomenon, is there an equation which will tell you the optimum speed to travel at? Sorry for my previous question, that inspired a sh!tload of responses that you were probably monitoring.

[@Alysm-Aviation]

generally you will try to catch favourable winds. over long distances they can cause significant time savings.

[@Wolfie6020]

Yes the wind does affect efficiency. Lets work through an example. The Aircraft uses 2000 lbs per hour in cruise. It flies at 400 knots through the Air. The airspeed is 400 knots. The fuel burn is 2000lbs per 400 air nautical miles. or 5 lbs per air nautical mile. That part doesn't change. (it does as the plane gets lighter but let us ignore that for now) Now we add the wind. Say 100 knots in a Jet stream. The plane will always fly at 400 knots through the Air. If flying with the jet stream it is now moving at 500 knots across the ground (Ground speed). It still burns 2000 lbs per hour but now the efficiency is measure in lbs per ground nautical mile which is 4lbs per nautical mile. If we turn around and fly into the headwind the groundspeed is now only 300 knots. The fuel burn is still 2000 lbs per hour so now the efficiency is worse. 6.7 lbs per nautical mile. The flight planning engines used by companies like Jeppesen factor in wind and aircraft performance to choose the most efficient route. Sometimes that means flying hundreds of miles off the great circle route to avoid strong headwinds or to benefit from strong tailwinds. Your question is a good one and yes there is benefit to fly faster when in a headwind as you spend less time in it. Also to fly slower in a tailwind to benefit more from it. There is a simple way to calculate this and it involves the drag curve for the aircraft. This video might help answer your question. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYm0Z5J-q92VgqM

[@markcaesar4443]

​@@Wolfie6020 What I found most interesting and surprising about the video you referred me to was that pitch is more efficient than flaps for maintaining altitude. My first instinct would have been to trim the flaps to maintain the altitude. I guess that shows my total lack of flight knowledge and that reality is sometimes not what we expect it to be. I guess experience is king here.

[@markcaesar4443]

@@Wolfie6020 One more thing I have discovered is something called "wave drag". When a aircraft goes supersonic, wave drag significantly increases the drag on the aircraft, effectively setting a speed limit of just under supersonic speed for aircraft. Well, if you're not worried about fuel efficiency, such as war aircraft, you can go whatever speed you wish. Could you do an explainer video on wave drag, I think that would be entirely interesting and educational, at least for me. Thanks Wolfie.🤘

[@M2M-matt]

Always meant to ask as heard this many times on other flight videos during landing. What does the "minimums" call out mean?

[@Wolfie6020]

If you are flying an instrument approach in bad weather there is a minimum altitude you cannot go below unless you can see the runway. On this type of approach it is typically 200 feet above the ground. The weather was clear this night so we could already see the runway and the call is basically redundant. If I was flying and the cloud was close to minimums I would have to call "Visual" when at the Minimums in order to continue down. If I cannot see the runway at minimums I have to apply power and go around, climb up and try again or go to a different airport.

[@EBDavis111]

@@Wolfie6020 OK, what happens during heavy fog?

[@TenMinuteTrips]

@@EBDavis111 If the runway and/or approach lights are not in sight when the aircraft reaches “minimums”, a “missed approach” procedure shown on the approach plate (the map that shows the approach procedure) is followed. The approach to landing can be attempted again or the aircraft can enter a holding pattern and wait for the fog to lift. Because there’s only so much fuel reserves in the fuel tanks, just as Wolfie said, you divert to an alternate airport that has better conditions. This is the edit: Is the “jet fuel hoax” still a thing or have those idiots finally been totally debunked off of KZbin? Hopefully flat earth isn’t far behind. I guess that means that even flat earth debunkers will have to get a job. At least Wolfie’s got a good side gig as a pilot!

[@simon3745]

Are you serious? Are you even a even a pilot? The horizon line as you call it is actually called the zero pitch line and only aligns with the horizon on the ground. There are actual videos on KZbin from real pilots who explain the HUD display and your horizon line! 😂 The fact your whole argument is based on the Moon rising supposedly below the virtual horizon when actually it's rising below the zero pitch line. The zero pitch line also shows visually the planes height above the ground, when compared to the real horizon.

[@clivedavis6859]

Great video and debunk. Concerning the two rows of 3 lights red and white on approach, I have known them as VASI (visual approach system) when I once worked at an airport. Are the ones you mentioned the same but just called something else in different parts of the world?

[@EllipticGeometry]

PAPI and VASI are similar but not the same. A PAPI (precision approach path indicator) has four lights side by side, changing as Wolfie explained. A typical VASI (visual approach slope indicator) has two sets of light separated lengthwise. If you’re on the normal glideslope, the more distant set is red, and the closer one is white. You can use both types in a similar way. Too much white is too high. Too much red is too low.

It's a Bombardier Global 7500 business jet, and it is above commercial altitude.

[@dwarfagp]

Do you still need to "flair" the landing in this type of aircraft ?

[@Wolfie6020]

Yes definitely and this makes the landing smoother. If you watch closely when the aircraft reaches 50 ft two small + signs appear near the centre of the HUD. Those are the flare guidance cues. The idea being that you bring the Flight Path vector just between them and the horizon line (which the pilot did nicely here) You can also see the pitch attitude increasing quite a but during this as the speed is also reducing. Without any flare you won't break the aircraft but it will be a shocking heavy landing for the passengers.

[@Wolfie6020]

@Q Branch It might have been his first landing. Was the runway wet or relatively short by any chance? The correct technique on a wet runway is do a firm landing to avoid aquaplaning. The idea is to get weight on wheels as fast as possible so the brakes can start working. When I was in Dubai for recurrent earlier this year they were by the book for an FAA check ride which means you had to be on the ground within a certain distance from the beginning of the runway. If you try to land too smoothly you can float past this and they will fail you. It is easy to do a firm landing meeting FAA requirements and passing. Planes can withstand a descent rate of 600 ft per minute on touchdown and this will be absorbed by the landing gear. Most passengers will never feel a landing that rough.

[@Wolfie6020]

@Q Branch It could have been his line check with a check captain. Ironically they will score you higher for a solid landing within the defined parameters than if you grease it on and overfly the 1500 foot markers which would be a fail. Or he just botched it but if the plane was serviceable and taxied in normally it was a landing within 'design limits"

He still doesn't know what coriolis actually is. The aircraft can detect deviations from a desired track and will change heading to correct back to course. That is all we need to correct for wind and coriolis. Not sure why he struggles with this.

[@markcaesar4443]

Wolfie, I have a question for you: In a car, using "cruise control" increases your fuel economy by ROUGHLY 10% by my reckoning. Does Autopilot in an aeroplane increase fuel economy? If it does, I don't imagie it would be anything like the roughly 10% I get in my car, there just aren't that many micro-adjustments needed while flying.

[@Wolfie6020]

Hi Mark, that is a good question and it definitely make a difference. Not so much the autopilot but we also have auto throttles which hold a specific speed. If we turn off the auto throttles and just leave them in the one position it does improve fuel economy by around 2%. When auto throttle are on they constantly adjust for tiny deviations and that uses more fuel. When the auto throttles are off the engine power is steady and we accept slight deviations in speed from Mach 0.85 to 83 and 86. Personally I leave the auto throttles on for most trips. Some of the other guys turn it off but overall I don't think the difference is enough to worry about on most of our trips.

[@dogwalker666]

Not necessarily true it would depend on the terrain if actually increased fuel consumption, it definitely decreases consumption on my car because it turns the engine off if travelling off load.
