  Chapter 1: Introduction to Flight Training › Safety Considerations › Use of Checklists

  Checklists Checklists have been the foundation of pilot standardization and flight deck safety for years. [Figure 1-16] The checklist is a memory aid and helps to ensure that critical items necessary for the safe operation of aircraft ... overlooked or forgotten. Checklists need not be “do lists.” In other words, the proper actions can be accomplished, and then the checklist used to quickly ensure all necessary tasks or actions have been completed with emphasis on the “check…

  taxiway or runway. Note that at night, the Emergency Stop signal is used for all stop indications . Engine Starting Airplane engines vary substantially and specific procedures for engine starting should be accomplished in reference to the approved engine start checklist ... airplane’s AFM/POH. However, some generally accepted hazard mitigation practices and procedures are outlined in this section. Prior to engine start, the pilot needs to ensure that the ramp area surrounding the airplane is clear of persons, equipment, and other…

  Chapter 17: Transition to Light Sport Airplanes (LSA) › Flight Environment › Before Start and Starting Engine

  Before Start and Starting Engine Once a pilot has completed the preflight inspection of the LSA, the pilot should properly seat themselves in the airplane ensuring that the rudder pedals can be exercised with full-range movement without over-reaching ... Seat belts should be checked for proper position and security. The pilot should continue to use the POH checklists. Starting newer generation LSA engines can be quite simple and only require the pull of the choke and a twist…

  utilize several different strategies and defenses to manage risk while in the air. Defenses Provided to the Pilot or Crew A manufacturer, employer, or a flight school may provide defenses to pilots. Examples include checklists, operating limitations, minimum pilot qualifications ... standard operating procedures, and insurance requirements. Regardless of the flight mission, some defenses will always be predetermined. Checklists, Standard Operating Procedures, and Best Practices Like the aircraft, its approved checklists are normally provided. The manufacturer’s approved checklists, placards…

  that the last 30 percent of engine rpm represents the majority of the engine thrust. Below that setting, the application of power has very little effect. A second consideration for transitioning pilots concerns turbine engine heat sensitivity. A turbine engine ... over temperature condition for more than a very seconds without experiencing serious damage. Engine temperatures get hotter during starting than at any other time. Thus, turbine engines have minimum rotational speeds for introducing fuel into the combustion chambers during startup…
