- Chapter 5: Maintaining Aircraft Control: Upset Prevention and Recovery Training › Introduction › Defining an Airplane Upset
definition. Consistent with the Guide, the FAA considers an upset to be an event that unintentionally exceeds the parameters normally experienced in flight or training. These parameters are: 1. Pitch attitude greater than 25°, nose up 2. Pitch attitude greater ... may receive academic or on-aircraft upset prevention and recovery training (UPRT), which should include: slow flight, stalls, spins, and unusual attitudes. Upset training places considerable emphasis on understanding and preventing an upset, so a pilot avoids such a situation…
- CHAPTER 3. FLIGHT TRAINING: SPINS › 300. SPIN TRAINING › a. Spin training must be accomplished in an aircraft that is approved for spins
Spin training must be accomplished in an aircraft that is approved for spins. Before practicing intentional spins, the AFM or POH should be consulted for the proper entry and recovery techniques. b. The training should begin by practicing both power ... power-off stalls to familiarize the applicant with the aircraft's stall characteristics. Spin avoidance, incipient spins, actual spin entry, spin, and spin recovery techniques should be practiced from an altitude above 3,500 feet AGL. c. Spin avoidance training…
- Chapter 9: Techniques of Flight Instruction › Postflight Evaluation › First Solo Flight
First Solo Flight During the learner’s first solo flight, the instructor needs to be present to assist in answering questions or resolving any issues that arise during the flight. To ensure the solo flight is a positive, confidence-building ... experience for the learner, the flight instructor needs to consider time of day when scheduling the flight. Time of day is a factor in traffic congestion, possible winds, sun angles, and reflection. If possible, the flight instructor needs access…
- CHAPTER 3. FLIGHT TRAINING: SPINS › 301. SPIN TRAINING AND PARACHUTES
SPIN TRAINING AND PARACHUTES. Title 14 CFR part 91, § 91.307(c) prohibits the pilot of a civil aircraft from executing any intentional maneuver that exceeds 60° of bank relative to the horizon, or exceeds 30° nose-up or nose-down ... each occupant (other than a crewmember). Section 91.307(d) states, in part, that § 91.307(c) does not apply to flight tests for a Pilot Certificate or rating, or spins and other flight maneuvers required by the regulations, for any certificate…
- Chapter 13: Transition to Multiengine Airplanes › Spin Awareness and Stalls › Spin Awareness
Spin Awareness and Stalls No multiengine airplane is approved for spins, and their spin recovery characteristics are generally very poor. It is therefore prudent to practice spin avoidance and maintain a high awareness of situations that can result ... inadvertent spin. Spin Awareness In order to spin any airplane, a stalled condition needs to exist. At the stall, the presence or introduction of a yawing moment can initiate spin entry. In a multiengine airplane, the yawing moment may…

Flight Plan - VFR Flights (See Appendix 4, FAA Form 7233-4 – International Flight Plan) a. The requirements for the filing and activation of VFR flight plans can vary depending in which airspace the flight is operating. Pilots are responsible ... activating flight plans with a Flight Service Station. Control tower personnel do not automatically activate VFR flight plans. 1. Within the continental U.S., a VFR flight plan is not normally required. 2. VFR flights (except for DoD and law enforcement…
