The FAA seems to go out of its way to complicate understanding Energy Management in airplanes. Here's a short piece that, hopefully, makes the subject easier for private pilots to understand. Please subscribe and please visit: www.rodmachado.com

Always love your approach to explaining things like this, over the years. Thanks, Rod!

Good example, very important with a sick or dead engine. Engine problems dead or running come in high provided you know the tricks to lose altitude very fast. Maybe you can lead into how to get down quick.aka drag without gaining air speed. Flaps,gear,prop,cowl flaps,forward slips,etc…❤

I dunno. I think someone’s high school physics teacher buddy was given a gig at the FAA. It only adds terms that are just not helpful to piloting. I doubt anyone is going to be talking about kinetic or potential energy outside of a checkride. “Well Jim, your kinetic energy is a bit off, you see if you just….” Nonsense.

The difference between trading airspeed for altitude vs. trading kinetic energy for potential energy, is it's difficult to quantify how many knots are traded per foot of altitude, because "it depends." However, precisely 1 unit of kinetic energy is traded for 1 unit of potential energy. That makes energy a useful concept, if you can be bothered to do some math.
