Thank you for the amazing explanations and repeating it to make sure!!

[@BigBoreAdventures]

Thanks for an excellent job explaining the differences. I'm currently transitioning from the 6-pack to glass and this was very helpful. Hopefully you enjoyed your flight to my childhood home town of Trona. 😁

Good explanation, really helped me understand the difference. Thanks for the video!

Yoel, with flight level change won't the excess power reach the critical angle of attack and strall?

[@YoelGilman]

Great question! In flight level change mode (FLC), the autopilot adjusts pitch to maintain a target airspeed during climbs or descents. While excess power could theoretically increase the angle of attack, modern systems are designed to prevent reaching the critical angle of attack by prioritizing airspeed over vertical performance.
However, if the autopilot is improperly set or the airspeed drops too low, a stall could occur. That’s why constant monitoring of airspeed and power settings is crucial, especially during high-performance climbs or slow-speed descents. Always stay ahead of the aircraft to avoid such scenarios! ✈️
