  • Chapter 6: Takeoffs and Departure Climbs › Noise Abatement

    runway should not be attempted unless the pilot previously trained for an emergency turn-back and sufficient altitude exists. Noise Abatement Aircraft noise problems are a major concern at many airports throughout the country. Many local communities have pressured airports ... into developing specific operational procedures that help limit aircraft noise while operating over nearby areas. As a result, noise abatement procedures have been developed for many of these airports that include standardized profiles and procedures to achieve these lower noise…

  • Chapter 16: Transition to Jet-Powered Airplanes › Jet Airplane Takeoff and Climb › V-Speeds

    Airplane Takeoff and Climb The following information is generic in nature and, since most civilian jet airplanes require a minimum flight crew of two pilots, assumes a two-pilot crew. If any of the following information conflicts with FAA-approved ... procedures for a particular airplane, the AFM procedures take precedence. Also, if any of the following procedures differ from the FAA-approved procedures developed for use by a specific air operator and/or for use in an FAA-approved training center…

  • Chapter 6: Threat and Error Management › Defenses Provided to the Pilot or Crew › Checklists, Standard Operating Procedures, and Best Practices

    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 ... aircraft, its approved checklists are normally provided. The manufacturer’s approved checklists, placards, and emergency procedures provide a basic defense against threats, errors, or undesired aircraft states. Many flight schools, flying clubs, and larger flight departments may develop checklists…

  • Chapter 14: Airport Operations › Collision Avoidance › Clearing Procedures

    Clearing Procedures The following procedures and considerations are in place to assist pilots in collision avoidance under various situations: • Before takeoff—prior to taxiing onto a runway or landing area in preparation for takeoff, pilots should scan the approach area ... airspace. • Straight and level—during sustained periods of straight-and-level flight, a pilot should execute appropriate clearing procedures at periodic intervals. • Traffic patterns—entries into traffic patterns while descending should be avoided. • Traffic at VOR sites—due to converging…

  • Chapter 1: Introduction To Flying › Who Administers the FAA Practical Tests? › Role of the Designated Pilot Examiner

    this reason, a flight instructor should observe recognized safety practices, as well as regulations during all flight operations. The student pilot who enrolls in a pilot training program commits considerable time, effort, and expense to achieve a pilot certificate. Students ... flight instructor and the success of the pilot training program based on their ability to pass the requisite FAA practical test. A competent flight instructor stresses to the student that practical tests are a sampling of pilot ability compressed into…

  • Chapter 1: Departure Procedures › One-Engine-Inoperative (OEI) Takeoff Obstacle Clearance Requirements

    departure is not practical or recommended, a special OEI turn procedure can be developed for each applicable runway. This OEI turn procedure may follow the path of a published IFR departure procedure or it may follow an independent path designed ... normal condition; therefore, the actions taken by the pilot including the use of an OEI turn procedure takes precedence over noise abatement, air traffic, SIDs, DPs, and other normal operating considerations. It must be understood that the airport/runway analysis assesses…
