Airspeed

Speed ​​of the aircraft relative to the ground is different from the speed that shows the speed indicator on the plane.
First, the plane flies through the air, regardless whether the air moves out or not.
That is, the plane flies inside a certain air, so the instrument displays the speed relative to the surrounding air.
If the air is moving relative zamli, the speed of the aircraft relative to the ground changes, the speed relative to the air remains the same. It is like a boat in the current. If the flow and the boat is worth, then nothing changes. If the flow is moving and the boat is not moving in the flow, it will still go with the flow relative to the shore. If the boat is adrift with the engine, the water speed is increased by the flow velocity and the velocity is obtained relative to the shore - just as the task of stredney school.
If the boat is going against the flow, and the flow velocity is equal to the speed of the boat , the boat relative to the shore may remain stationary.
And with the aircraft, but instead will wind flow, and instead shore will land.

Light signals

Light signals are few and fed either to the aircraft on the ground or in the air for the aircraft.

In flight of light signals from the ground signals are as follows:

• Blinking green - approach allowed , then usually followed by a continuing resolution green landing
• Steady green - cleared to land
• Solid red - landing is not allowed, but remain in the area of the circle, all succumb to landing
• Flashing red - landing prohibited airfield unsafe
• Flashing red / green alternately - CAUTION , use caution!

On the ground, the light signals are as follows:

• Blinking green - taxiing along the paths allowed (does not exit right on the runway)
• Steady green - off is enabled ( gives the right to occupy the runway )
• Solid red - STOP! Stop motion!
• Flashing red - obliges osvobodit runway or taxiway
• Flashing red / green alternately - CAUTION , use caution!
• FLASHING WHITE ! Attention! On the ground, there is an additional signal - Blinking white - to immediately return to the starting point

Height of a flight

Altitude at which the aircraft can be defines a special rule. It's like a left-hand and right-hand traffic only two main areas . One direction of motion is from 0 ° to 179 °, different from 180 ° to 359 °. All directions are defined in degrees magnetic compass. This rule applies equally throughout the world without exception.
Depending on the direction of the plane can select only a certain height . At this height, no one will have the right to fly in the opposite direction. These heights are determined by a few simple rules . Also, you can just take the height of the finished table.
FL - this flight level, which indicates the height in hundreds of feet. For convenience, the last two are discussing is not zero and not prescribed. Not at very high altitudes can also use the full height of the designation. All of the samples indicated in the table below
VFR - it Visual Flight Rules, ie visual flight, when the benchmarks used for navigation map and the terrain.
IFR - this Instrument Flight Rules, ie instrument flight when used to guide the navigation instruments.
