  The Pitot-Static system is the name of a combined system that measures dynamic and static pressure changes during the movement of the aircraft through the air. Those pressure measurements provide critical flight data to multiple primary and secondary flight instruments such as the Altimeter, Airspeed Indicator, and the Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI). A failure of the Pitot-Static system can reflect the pilot an unreliable critical flight data such as false airspeed and altitude settings and trends. In order to ensure a safe operation, pilots are required to be able to recognize Pitot-Static system failures and possible mitigation strategies in case of that kind of a threat. Altimeter, Airspeed Indicator, Vertical Speed Indicator  Pitot Tube The pitot tube measures dynamic pressure that is being imposed on an aircraft when it is moving through the air. Pitot-Tube is interconnected with the static port and calculates the total of the Dynamic pressure and the Static pressure to provide

In my perspective, Icing is one of the most incredible topics that could be discussed when talking about the impacts of environmental factors on performance during flight. However, for many people who are not aviation professionals, like passengers, icing accumulation on the wings or the tail does not seem like an issue, especially when a thin layer could barely be seen or a frost on the wings. However, Icing can be highly hazardous to airplanes. Accumulation of ice over critical airplane areas, such as the wing's leading edge, ailerons, elevator, rudder, and engine cowls, can drastically affect aircraft's performance. Any accumulation of ice over one of these areas can cause interference with the airflow that goes over it and lead the aircraft into an abnormal situation that may end up eventually in an accident. For example, structural icing buildup over the wings would cause a change in the aerodynamic shape of the wing, a hazardous situation that causes the airplane to stall

 What does ethics in aviation means to you? Hello everyone, To me, ethics in aviation means discipline. As a pilot or even an aviation enthusiast, one can see how the aviation industry evolves daily. Like many other professionals in the field, I must keep my knowledge up to date with all current information throughout its development, regardless of the information that I should be aware of that is not new. Positioning me in the pilot seat means the airline put their trust in me with the lives of my passengers and the airline equipment. In my view, as a professional, I am being expected to constantly push myself to the limit in keeping my knowledge fresh and current. That expectation, translated to discipline, is what aviation ethics means to me.   References Benton, P. A. (n.d.). Ethics in aviation education . Scholarly Commons.
