  Chapter 4: Energy Management: Mastering Altitude and Airspeed Control › Importance of Energy Management

  Importance of Energy Management Learning to manage the airplane’s energy in the form of altitude and airspeed is critical for all new pilots. Energy management is essential for effectively achieving and maintaining desired vertical flight path and airspeed profiles ... airspeed climb) and for transitioning from one profile to another during flight, (e.g., leveling off from a descent). Proper energy management is also critical to flight safety. Mistakes in managing the airplane’s energy state can be deadly. Mismanagement…

  results in the airplane hitting the ground regardless of what the pilot does. Chapter Summary Every pilot is an energy manager—managing energy in the form of altitude and airspeed from takeoff to landing. Proper energy management is essential ... desired vertical flightpath and airspeed profiles in everyday flying. It is also critical to flight safety since mistakes in managing energy state can contribute to loss of control inflight (LOC-I), controlled flight into terrain (CFIT), and approach and landing…
