Chapter 10: Teaching Practical Risk Management during Flight Instruction › Managing Risk during Flight Instruction › Notes on Instructional Risk Management in the Flight Deck
Notes on Instructional Risk Management in the Flight Deck The instructor is involved with risk management on multiple levels, which include not only managing the risk of a particular phase of flight or maneuver, but also teaching risk management ... managing the risks of providing in-flight instruction. Some concepts an instructor should bear in mind while teaching most maneuvers include: ⦁ Identify relevant hazards systematically and keep track of hazards during maneuvering (the learner manipulating controls may be a significant…

Chapter 10: Teaching Practical Risk Management during Flight Instruction › Risk Management Training for Experienced Pilots › Risk Management during Operational Flights
Risk Management during Operational Flights Pilots who are already certificated conduct most of their flights without an instructor present. As an instructor, you should encourage them to practice effective risk management on all their flights. Realistically, pilots will not always ... follow the risk management procedures discussed in this chapter. Instructors should encourage pilots to scale their risk management procedures to match the complexity of the flight. For example, for a local flight, it is acceptable to use an abbreviated risk…

example, if the pilot decides to put all the surplus energy into altitude, the airplane can climb at a constant airspeed. [Figure 4-1A] If the pilot opts to place all the surplus energy into airspeed, the airplane ... accelerate while maintaining altitude. [Figure 4-1B] When drag exceeds thrust, (T – D < 0), the airplane's total mechanical energy decreases. The pilot has two sources of stored energy to tap into. For example, the pilot may choose…

Mitigating Risk As explained in Chapter 1, risk mitigation is the “payoff” for the risk management process. Effective risk mitigation may allow for a proposed flight to begin or an ongoing flight to continue. However, this is not always ... case, and the pilot should be prepared to delay or terminate any flight. Instructors should teach that the risk management process begins days or even weeks before a specific flight. Early in the process, if a pilot identifies a risk…

information on recommendations and endorsements can be found in Appendix C, Certificates, Ratings, and Endorsements. Chapter 10: Teaching Practical Risk Management during Flight Instruction Introduction Examination of accident data leads to the inevitable conclusion that many aviation accidents involve poor ... risk management decisions. Therefore, effective risk management is one of the most important skills a pilot needs to learn, understand, and practice as a habit. Since flight instructors continually deal with risk, they quickly become subject matter experts. Instructors know…

Chapter 5: Aerodynamics of Flight › Aerodynamic Forces in Flight Maneuvers › Forces in Turns
important fact for pilots to remember when making constant altitude turns is that the vertical component of lift must be equal to the weight to maintain altitude. At a given airspeed, the rate at which an aircraft turns depends upon ... horizontal component of lift. It is found that the horizontal component of lift is proportional to the angle of bank—that is, it increases or decreases respectively as the angle of bank increases or decreases. As the angle of bank…
