Flight computer

Have you ever flown in an airplane? Did you notice the little screen in front of the pilot? That's called a flight computer. It looks like a small TV screen, but it's much more than that.

A flight computer is a special kind of computer that helps the pilot fly the plane safely. It's like a brain of the airplane. It has a lot of buttons, knobs, and screens that show important information about the flight.

For example, it can show the altitude of the airplane, the speed, the direction, and the fuel level. It can also calculate how long it will take for the airplane to reach its destination and how much fuel it will need.

The flight computer can also help the pilot steer the airplane. Imagine if you had a remote control car and you can make it go left, right, forward or backward using buttons on the remote. The pilot can do the same thing with the airplane using the buttons and knobs on the flight computer.

But the flight computer is not just a fancy toy. It's a very important tool that helps the pilot fly the airplane safely. It can warn the pilot if there is something wrong with the airplane or if there is bad weather ahead. It can also help the pilot communicate with other airplanes and air traffic control.

So next time you fly, take a look at the flight computer in front of the pilot, and remember how important it is to help you get to your destination safely.
