Grey Wing Airlines provides important information to new pilots about cruising procedures. Pilots should familiarize themselves with the recommended cruise regime, which includes details about fuel consumption and the aircraft's optimum altitude. While recommended cruise is usually preferred, there are exceptions. Long flights may require long-range cruise to conserve fuel, while delays may necessitate high-speed cruise to make up time. Pilots should be cautious not to exceed the aircraft's buffet boundary and should pay attention to overspeed clacker warnings. Unit 10. Cruising. Exercise 5, page 23. Memo. Spotlight on Cruising Procedure. Grey Wing Airlines. New Pilots. Before you start flying for Grey Wing, please familiarize yourself with our practices for cruise. The type of cruise regime you choose affects your passengers and company costs. Each Grey Wing cockpit is equipped with important information about the aircraft's recommended cruise. There, you will find details about fuel consumption. This includes the aircraft's typical fuel flow and range constant. You will also find your aircraft's optimum altitude so you can avoid flying too low or too high. While you should stick to recommended cruise in most situations, there are some exceptions. Long flights may require long-range cruise to preserve fuel. This extends flight time but prevents costly overuse of fuel. If you experience delays, you should use high-speed cruise to make up time. It's less efficient but it may be necessary to arrive on time. Be careful, however, not to exceed your aircraft's buffet boundary. Pay attention to overspeed clacker warnings so you know when you're flying too fast to maintain stability.
