- 14 CFR § 97.3 Symbols and terms used in procedures.
Symbols and terms used in procedures. As used in the standard instrument procedures prescribed in this part— Aircraft approach category means a grouping of aircraft based on a speed of VREF, if specified, or if VREF is not specified ... maximum certificated landing weight. VREF, Vso, and the maximum certificated landing weight are those values as established for the aircraft by the certification authority of the country of registry. The categories are as follows— (1) Category A: Speed less than…
- Chapter 4: Aerodynamic Factors › Turns › Rate of Turn
Rate of Turn The rate of turn, normally measured in degrees per second, is based upon a set bank angle at a set speed. If either one of these elements changes, the rate of turn changes. If the aircraft increases ... speed without changing the bank angle, the rate of turn decreases. Likewise, if the speed decreases without changing the bank angle, the rate of turn increases. Changing the bank angle without changing speed also causes the rate of turn…
- Chapter 4: Approaches › Aircraft Approach Categories
Aircraft Approach Categories Aircraft approach category means a grouping of aircraft based on a reference landing speed (VREF), if specified, or if VREF is not specified, 1.3 VSO at the maximum certified landing weight. VREF, VSO, and the maximum certified ... landing weight are those values as established for the aircraft by the certification authority of the country of registry. A pilot must use the minima corresponding to the category determined during certification or higher. Helicopters may use Category A minima…
- 14 CFR § 91.326 Exception to operating certain aircraft for the purposes of flight training, flightcrew member checking, or flightcrew member testing.
Exception to operating certain aircraft for the purposes of flight training, flightcrew member checking, or flightcrew member testing. Demonstration flights, discovery flights, experience flights, and other flights not related to the training program are not authorized. (ii) As appropriate ... aircraft being flown, all trainees must hold category and class ratings; a type rating, Authorized Experimental Aircraft authorization, or temporary Letter of Authorization; and endorsements listed in § 61.31 of this chapter, as appropriate, with the following exceptions: (A) Persons receiving…
- Chapter 8: Helicopter Attitude Instrument Flying › Straight Descents (Constant Airspeed and Constant Rate) › Entry
Straight Descents (Constant Airspeed and Constant Rate) A descent may be performed at any normal airspeed the helicopter can attain, but the airspeed must be determined prior to entry. The technique is determined by the type of descent, a constant ... airspeed, or a constant rate. Entry If airspeed is higher than descending airspeed, and a constant airspeed descent is desired, reduce power to a descent power setting and maintain a constant altitude using cyclic pitch control. This slows the helicopter…
- Chapter 7, Section I: Airplane Basic Flight Maneuvers › Turns › Standard Rate Turns
Turns Standard Rate Turns A standard rate turn is one in which the pilot will do a complete 360° circle in 2 minutes or 3 degrees per second. A standard rate turn, although always 3 degrees per second, requires higher ... angles of bank as airspeed increases. To enter a standard rate level turn, apply coordinated aileron and rudder pressures in the desired direction of turn. Pilots commonly roll into turns at a much too rapid rate. During initial training…
