Section 4. Two-way Radio Communications Failure 6-4-1. Two-way Radio Communications Failure a. It is virtually impossible to provide regulations and procedures applicable to all possible situations associated with two-way radio communications failure. During ... radio communications failure, when confronted by a situation not covered in the regulation, pilots are expected to exercise good judgment in whatever action they elect to take. Should the situation so dictate they should not be reluctant…
- Chapter 8: Flight Instruments › Gyroscopic Flight Instruments › Turn Coordinator
Turn Coordinator The gimbal in the turn coordinator is canted; therefore, its gyro can sense both rate of roll and rate of turn. Since turn coordinators are more prevalent in training aircraft, this discussion concentrates on that instrument. When rolling ... rapid roll rate causes the miniature aircraft to bank more steeply than a slow roll rate. The turn coordinator can be used to establish and maintain a standard-rate turn by aligning the wing of the miniature aircraft with…

Electrical power for starting is usually supplied by an onboard battery, but can also be supplied by external power through ... starter switch draw current from the main bus bar, but the starter will not operate until the starting solenoid is energized by the starter switch being turned to the “start” position. When the starter switch is released from the “start…

decimal point; e.g., 121.7, “CONTACT GROUND POINT SEVEN.” However, if any doubt exists as to what frequency is in use, the pilot should promptly request the controller to provide that information. e. Controllers will normally avoid issuing a radio frequency ... change to helicopters, known to be single-piloted, which are hovering, air taxiing, or flying near the ground. At times, it may be necessary for pilots to alert ATC regarding single pilot operations to minimize delay of essential ATC communications…

assists a pilot in the use and understanding of standard terminology. The AIM also contains many examples of radio communications. Figure 14-40. Traffic pattern operation—parallel runways. ICAO has adopted a phonetic alphabet that should be used in radio ... communications. When communicating with ATC, pilots should use this alphabet to identify their aircraft. [Figure 14-41] Lost Communication Procedures It is possible that a pilot might experience a malfunction of the radio. This might cause the transmitter, receiver…
