Typically, FD mode control and indication are shared with the autopilot. Pilots must be aware of the mode of operation of the augmentation systems and the control logic and functions in use. For example, on an instrument landing system ... deviation, while the horizontal bar cue of the “cross pointer” responds to airspeed deviations. However, the same system when operated in the two-cue mode on an ILS, the FD horizontal bar cue responds to glideslope deviations. The need…
- Chapter 4: Approaches › Aircraft Performance Operating Limitations
Aircraft Performance Operating Limitations Generally speaking, air carriers must have in place an approved method of complying with Subpart I of 14 CFR Parts 121 and 135 (Airplane Performance Operating Limitations), thereby proving the airplane’s performance capability for every ... applicable regulations prior to departing for their intended destination. The primary source of information for performance calculations for all operators, including Part 91, is the approved Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) or Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH) for the make…
- Chapter 6: Airborne Navigation Databases › Operational Limitations of Airborne Navigation Databases
Operational Limitations of Airborne Navigation Databases Understanding the capabilities and limitations of the navigation systems installed in an aircraft is one of the pilot’s biggest concerns for IFR flight. Considering the vast number of RNAV systems and pilot interfaces ... available today, it is critical that pilots and flight crews be familiar with the manufacturer’s operating manual for each RNAV system they operate and achieve and retain proficiency operating those systems in the IFR environment. Most professional and general…

WAAS localizer performance (LP) lateral-only PinS testing conducted ... Figure 7-4] The large flight tracks that resulted during the turning missed approach were attributed in part to operating the autopilot in the NAV mode and exceeding the 70 KIAS limit.

- Chapter 9: Flight Manuals and Other Documents › Powerplant
Powerplant The Powerplant Limitations portion describes operating limitations on an aircraft’s reciprocating or turbine engine(s). These include limitations for takeoff power, maximum continuous power, and maximum normal operating power, which is the maximum power the engine can produce ... included in this area are the minimum and maximum oil and fuel pressures, oil and fuel grades, and propeller operating limits. [Figure 9-3] All reciprocating-engine powered aircraft must have a revolutions per minute (rpm) indicator for each engine…

Instrument approach procedure (IAP) review and, for flight crews, IAP briefing. • Operational review and, for flight crews, operational briefing. Although often modified to suit each individual operator, these five steps form the basic framework for the in-flight planning phase ... instrument approach. The extent of detail that a given operator includes in their SOPs varies from one operator to another; some may designate which pilot performs each of the above actions, the sequence, and the manner in which each action…
