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

    paramount to remember that FAA-approved takeoff data for any aircraft is based on aircraft performance demonstrated in ideal conditions, using a clean, dry runway, and maximum braking (reverse thrust is not used to compute stopping distance). In reality, stopping ... oily residue, debris) ⦁ Natural contaminants (standing water, snow, slush, ice, dust) ⦁ Wind direction and velocity ⦁ Low air density ⦁ Flap configuration ⦁ Bleed air configuration ⦁ Underinflated or failing tires ⦁ Penalizing MEL or CDL items ⦁ Deficient wheel brakes or RTO auto-brakes ⦁ Inoperative…

  • CHAPTER 1. GROUND TRAINING: STALL AND SPIN AWARENESS › 100. STALL/SPIN EFFECTS AND DEFINITIONS › c. Configuration

    Configuration. Flaps, landing gear, and other configuring devices can affect an airplane’s stall speed. Extension of flaps and/or landing gear in flight will increase drag. Flap extension will generally increase the lifting ability of the wings, thus reducing ... lower airspeed limit of the white arc (power-off stall speed with gear and flaps in the landing configuration) is less than the lower airspeed limit of the green arc (power-off stall speed in the clean configuration…

  • Chapter 9: Techniques of Flight Instruction › The Telling-and-Doing Technique › Instructor Tells—Instructor Does

    Telling-and-Doing Technique The demonstration-performance method can be applied to the telling-and-doing technique of flight instruction in three steps. However, the telling-and-doing technique includes specific variations for flight instruction. [Figure 9-7] Figure ... This comparison of steps in the teaching process, the demonstration-performance method, and the telling-and-doing technique highlights similarities as well as differences. The main difference in the telling-and-doing technique is the important transition, learner tells—instructor…

  • Chapter 9: Techniques of Flight Instruction › Demonstration-Performance Training Delivery Method › Learner Performance and Instruction Supervision Phases

    Demonstration Phase The instructor demonstrates the actions necessary to perform a skill and may describe the actions simultaneously. The instructor avoids extraneous activity as much as possible so that learners get a clear understanding of the task ... some unanticipated circumstances, the demonstration does not closely conform to the explanation, this deviation should be immediately acknowledged and explained. Figure 9-6. The demonstration-performance method of teaching has four essential phases. Learner Performance and Instruction Supervision Phases…

  • Chapter 5: The Teaching Process › Demonstration-Performance Method

    with the group, as necessary, to keep it on track or to encourage everyone in the group to participate. Demonstration-Performance Method Best used for the mastery of mental or physical skills that require practice, the demonstration-performance method ... teaching piloting skills. Every instructor should recognize the importance of learner performance in the process. Early in demonstration and performance lesson, the instructor should identify the most important learning outcomes. Next, explain and demonstrate the steps involved in performing…

  • Chapter 9: Techniques of Flight Instruction › Demonstration-Performance Training Delivery Method › Explanation Phase

    Demonstration-Performance Training Delivery Method The demonstration-performance training delivery method was discussed briefly in Chapter 5, The Teaching Process, but the following in-depth discussion is geared to the flight instructor. This training method has been ... very effective in teaching kinesthetic skills so flight instructors find it valuable in teaching procedures and maneuvers. The demonstration-performance method is divided into four phases: explanation, demonstration, learner performance with instructor supervision, and evaluation. [Figure 9-6] Explanation Phase…
