  Chapter 16: Navigation › Filing a VFR Flight Plan

  efficiently. Most of the fields are either self-explanatory or non-applicable to the VFR flight plan (such as item 13). However, some fields may need explanation. • Item 3 is the aircraft type and special equipment. An example would ... aircraft has no transponder. A listing of special equipment codes is found in the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM). • Item 6 is the proposed departure time in UTC (indicated by the “Z”). • Item 7 is the cruising altitude. Normally…

  Chapter 2: Aeronautical Decision-Making › Information Management › Automation Management

  offer multiple levels of automation, from strictly manual flight to highly automated flight. No one level of automation is appropriate for all flight situations, but in order to avoid potentially dangerous distractions when flying with advanced avionics, the pilot must ... being used. This ensures the pilot knows what to expect, how to monitor for proper operation, and promptly take appropriate action if the system does not perform as expected. For example, at the most basic level, managing the autopilot means…

  Chapter 9: Flight Manuals and Other Documents › Minimum Equipment Lists (MEL) and Operations With Inoperative Equipment

  pilot determines whether the inoperative equipment is required by type design, 14 CFR, or ADs. If the inoperative item is not required, and the aircraft can be safely operated without it, the deferral may be made. The inoperative item shall ... deactivated or removed and an INOPERATIVE placard placed near the appropriate switch, control, or indicator. If deactivation or removal involves maintenance (removal always will), it must be accomplished by certificated maintenance personnel and recorded in accordance with 14 CFR part…

  Chapter 7: Automation & Flight Path Management › Integrated Flight Path Automation Systems

  While pilots often rely on the autopilot, they also need to be able to fly the aircraft manually within appropriate standards. Pilots should train and practice using automation under VFR with an appropriately qualified and knowledgeable flight instructor before attempting ... flight simulation training device provides the opportunity to practice and repeat automation procedures with a simulated high workload. Through appropriate training and practice, pilots learn to operate autopilot systems with ease and in a routine manner. Knowledge of system limitations…
