Getting Ready to Take-off

Do you remember what ATIS stands for?

That's right!  It's the Automatic Terminal Information Service.  

​​Pilots use the acronym, ATIS, for short.
​
Lizzy always listens to the ATIS before taking-off.  

​The tower tells Lizzy which runway to use based on the current wind patterns (speed and direction), other traffic on the runway and up in the sky.  Let's have a listen while Lizzy gets ready to take Vyctor up in the air. 

Stella will start us off by reviewing the radio alphabet.

Did you know...?

The plane's propellor provides its thrust and the flaps on the wings let Lizzy slow the plane down or improve lift.

Lizzy explains lift, thrust and aerodynamics.  She reminds us of Vyctor's various parts.
