  • Chapter 10: Performance Maneuvers › Introduction

    Introduction Basic flight maneuvers taught to pilots include: straight-and-level, turns, climbs, and descents. As training advances, other performance maneuvers serve to further develop piloting skills. Performance maneuvers enhance a pilot’s proficiency in flight control application, maneuver planning ... situational awareness, and division of attention. To further that intent, performance maneuver design allows for the application of flight control pressures, attitudes, airspeeds, and orientations that constantly change throughout the maneuver. Deficiencies during execution of performance maneuvers often occur when…

  • Chapter 2: Aeronautical Decision-Making › RISK › Situational Awareness

    Monitoring radio communications for traffic, weather discussion, and ATC communication can enhance situational awareness by helping the pilot develop a mental picture of what is happening. Maintaining situational awareness requires an understanding of the relative significance of all flight related ... understanding why has added an additional burden to his or her management in the event of an emergency. To maintain situational awareness, all of the skills involved in ADM are used. Obstacles to Maintaining Situational Awareness Fatigue, stress, and work…

    pilot is uncertain whether the ATC clearance intends for a procedure turn to be conducted or to allow for a straight-in approach, the pilot must immediately request clarification from ATC (14 CFR section 91.123). 1. On U.S. Government charts ... barbed arrow indicates the maneuvering side of the outbound course on which the procedure turn is made. Headings are provided for course reversal using the 45 degree type procedure turn. However, the point at which the turn may be commenced…

    operation that is being conducted, and ask ATC for clarification if necessary. c. Parallel approach operations demand heightened pilot situational awareness. Once cleared for an approach procedure, each pilot must maintain the lateral and vertical path of the procedure unless ... otherwise instructed by ATC. Instrument approach procedures using a curved or straight path to transition to the final segment may be used in conjunction with simultaneous operations. Pilots may notice nearby aircraft on adjacent approaches. As each aircraft nears…

    Section 2. Departure Procedures 5-2-1. Pre-taxi Clearance Procedures a. Certain airports have established pre-taxi clearance programs whereby pilots of departing instrument flight rules (IFR) aircraft may elect to receive their IFR clearances before they start taxiing ... takeoff. The following provisions are included in such procedures: 1. Pilot participation is not mandatory. 2. Participating pilots call clearance delivery or ground control not more than 10 minutes before proposed taxi time. 3. IFR clearance (or delay information…
