When returning the controls to the flight instructor, the learner should follow the same procedure the instructor used when giving control to the learner. The learner should stay on the controls until…

  • Chapter 14: Airport Operations › Collision Avoidance › Pilot Deviations (PDs)

    response to a traffic alert and collision avoidance system resolution advisory. You must notify ATC as soon as possible following a deviation. Pilot deviations can occur in several different ways. Airborne deviations result when a pilot strays from an assigned ... instrument procedure, or if the pilot penetrates controlled or restricted airspace without ATC clearance. To prevent airborne deviations, follow these steps: • Plan each flight—you may have flown the flight many times before but conditions and situations can change rapidly…
