- Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Takeoff and Landing Performance
Takeoff and Landing Performance The majority of pilot-caused aircraft accidents occur during the takeoff and landing phase of flight. Because of this fact, the pilot must be familiar with all the variables that influence the takeoff and landing performance ... aircraft and must strive for exacting, professional procedures of operation during these phases of flight. Takeoff and landing performance is a condition of accelerated and decelerated motion. For instance, during takeoff an aircraft starts at zero speed and accelerates…
- Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Takeoff and Landing Performance › Takeoff Performance
Figure 11-19 illustrates the general effect of wind by the percent change in takeoff or landing distance as a function of the ratio of wind velocity to takeoff or landing speed. The effect of proper takeoff speed is especially ... important when runway lengths and takeoff distances are critical. The takeoff speeds specified in the AFM/POH are generally the minimum safe speeds at which the aircraft can become airborne. Any attempt to take off below the recommended speed means that…
- Chapter 6: Threat and Error Management › Defenses Provided to the Pilot or Crew › Checklists, Standard Operating Procedures, and Best Practices
utilize several different strategies and defenses to manage risk while in the air. Defenses Provided to the Pilot or Crew A manufacturer, employer, or a flight school may provide defenses to pilots. Examples include checklists, operating limitations, minimum pilot qualifications ... standard operating procedures, and insurance requirements. Regardless of the flight mission, some defenses will always be predetermined. Checklists, Standard Operating Procedures, and Best Practices Like the aircraft, its approved checklists are normally provided. The manufacturer’s approved checklists, placards…
- 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…
- CHAPTER 6. PART 107 SUBPART C, REMOTE PILOT CERTIFICATION › 6.4 Application Process › 6.4.1 Remote Pilot Applicants Without Part 61 Certificates
Complete and submit the Remote Pilot Certificate and/or Rating Application for a Remote Pilot Certificate (FAA Form 8710-13). • Option 1 (Online Form): This is the fastest and simplest method. The FAA Form 8710-13 application should be completed online ... using the electronic FAA Integrated Airmen Certificate and Rating Application (IACRA) system (https://iacra.faa.gov/iacra/). An applicant seeking a Remote Pilot Certificate must have already passed an initial Remote Pilot aeronautical knowledge test. Once registered with IACRA, the applicant will…
- Chapter 6: Takeoffs and Departure Climbs › Crosswind Takeoff › Takeoff Roll
Crosswind Takeoff While it is usually preferable to take off directly into the wind whenever possible or practical, there are many instances when circumstances or judgment indicate otherwise. Therefore, the pilot must be familiar with the principles and techniques involved ... crosswind takeoffs, as well as those for normal takeoffs. A crosswind affects the airplane during takeoff much as it does during taxiing. With this in mind, the pilot should be aware that the technique used for crosswind correction during takeoffs…
