What is the flight Path Vector?
What is the flight Path Vector?
The Flight Path Vector, also called FPV, tells you instantly what is your Flight Path Angle. In this example, the Aircraft has a positive Pitch Angle (because the nose is above the horizon) and a negative Flight Path Angle (because the FPV is below the horizon).
What is FPV aviation?
First-person view (FPV), also known as remote-person view (RPV), or simply video piloting, is a method used to control a radio-controlled vehicle from the driver or pilot’s view point. Most commonly it is used to pilot a radio-controlled aircraft or other type of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).
What is PFD in aircraft?
A Primary Flight Display or PFD, found in an aircraft equipped with an Electronic Flight Instrument System, is the pilot’s primary reference for flight information. The layout and information displayed on the PFD varies depending upon manufacturer and installation.
What are the different instrument of a primary flight display?
FAA regulation describes that a PFD includes at a minimum, an airspeed indicator, turn coordinator, attitude indicator, heading indicator, altimeter, and vertical speed indicator [14 CFR Part 61.129(j)(1)].
Is flight path angle constant?
Note that flight path angle is a constant 0 degrees (90 degrees from local vertical) for a circular orbit.
How far can a 737 600 fly from alternate airports?
By incorporating specific hardware improvements and establishing specific maintenance and operational procedures, operators can fly extended distances up to 180 min from the alternate airport. These hardware improvements were designed into Boeing 737-600/700/800/900. The following table gives some FAA ETOPS approval times & dates:

What is the flight path angle?
Flight path angle is defined in two different ways. To the aerody- namicist, it is the angle between the flight path vector (where the airplane is going) and the local atmosphere.
