- Chapter 3: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Effect and Use of Flight Controls
With the pilot’s hand: ⦁ When pulling the elevator pitch control toward the pilot, which is an aft movement of the control wheel, yoke, control stick, or side stick controller (referred to as adding back pressure), the airplane’s nose ... will rotate backwards relative to the pilot around the pitch (lateral) axis of the airplane. Think of this movement from the pilot’s feet to the pilot’s head. ⦁ When pushing elevator pitch control toward the instrument panel, (referred…
- Chapter 3: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Trim Control
then hold the wings level with aileron flight control pressure while rudder control pressure is trimmed out. Finally, aileron trim should be adjusted to relieve any aileron flight control pressure. A properly trimmed airplane is an indication of good piloting ... skills. Any control forces that the pilot feels should be a result of deliberate flight control pressure inputs during a planned change in airplane attitude, not a result of forces being applied by the airplane. A common trim control error…
- Chapter 13: Transition to Multiengine Airplanes › Low Altitude Engine Failure Scenarios › Landing Gear Control Selected Up, Single-Engine Climb Performance Inadequate
Landing Gear Control Selected Up, Single-Engine Climb Performance Inadequate When operating near or above the single-engine ceiling and an engine failure is experienced shortly after lift-off, a landing needs to be accomplished on whatever essentially lies ahead ... with the remaining engine producing power, as long as the pilot is not tempted to remain airborne beyond the airplane’s performance capability. Remaining airborne and bleeding off airspeed in a futile attempt to maintain altitude is almost invariably fatal…
- Chapter 7: Ground Reference Maneuvers › Turns Around a Point
Thereafter, the pilot should gradually decrease the angle of bank until the airplane is headed directly upwind. As the upwind becomes a crosswind and then a downwind, the pilot should gradually steepen the bank to the steepest angle upon reaching ... initial point of entry. During the downwind half of the turn, the pilot should progressively adjust the airplane’s heading toward the inside of the turn. During the upwind half, the pilot should progressively adjust the airplane’s heading toward…
- Chapter 7: Ground Reference Maneuvers › Elementary Eights › Eights Along a Road
When the airplane completes the first 180° of ground track, it is directly crosswind, and the airplane should be at the maximum wind correction angle. As the turn is continued toward the upwind, the airplane’s groundspeed is decreasing, which ... pilot does not reduce the bank angle, the continued high rate of turn would cause the turn to be completed prematurely. Another way to explain this effect is—the wind is drifting the airplane downwind at the same time…
- CHAPTER 6. PART 107 SUBPART C, REMOTE PILOT CERTIFICATION › 6.4 Application Process › 6.4.1 Remote Pilot Applicants Without Part 61 Certificates
Complete and submit the Remote Pilot Certificate and/or Rating Application for a Remote Pilot Certificate (FAA Form 8710-13). • Option 1 (Online Form): This is the fastest and simplest method. The FAA Form 8710-13 application should be completed online ... using the electronic FAA Integrated Airmen Certificate and Rating Application (IACRA) system (https://iacra.faa.gov/iacra/). An applicant seeking a Remote Pilot Certificate must have already passed an initial Remote Pilot aeronautical knowledge test. Once registered with IACRA, the applicant will…
