- Chapter 11: Emergency Operations › Analog Instrument Failure
Pilots can attempt to troubleshoot alternator failure by following the established alternator failure procedure published in the POH/ AFM. If the alternator cannot be reset, advise ATC of the situation and inform them of the impending electrical failure. Figure ... Emergency instrumentation available to the pilot on electronic flight instrumented aircraft. Analog Instrument Failure A warning indicator, or an inconsistency between indications on the attitude indicator and the supporting performance instruments, usually identifies system or instrument failure. Aircraft control must…

appropriate aircraft operator’s manual for information on the type of systems installed in the aircraft. Once a generator failure is detected, the pilot must reduce electrical load on the battery and land as soon as practical. Depending on electrical ... load and condition of the battery, sufficient power may be available for an hour or more of flight or for only a matter of minutes. The pilot must be familiar with systems requiring electricity to run and which continue…

than sight. Recovery by instinct almost always leads to erroneous corrections due to the illusions that are prevalent during instrument flight. 5. Failure to practice basic attitude instrument flying. When a pilot does not fly instrument approach procedures or even ... basic attitude instrument flying maneuvers for long periods of time, skill levels diminish. Pilots should avoid flying in IMC if they are not proficient. They should seek a qualified instructor to receive additional instruction prior to entry into IMC. Instrument…
- Chapter 10: IFR Flight › Approaches › Instrument Approaches to Civil Airports
Instrument Approaches to Civil Airports Unless otherwise authorized, when an instrument letdown to an airport is necessary, the pilot should use a standard IAP prescribed for that airport. IAPs are depicted on IAP charts and are found ... approach procedures depend upon the facilities available at the terminal area, the type of instrument approach executed, and the existing weather conditions. The ATC facilities, NAVAIDs, and associated frequencies appropriate to each standard instrument approach are given on the approach…
- Appendix A: Emergency Procedures › Inadvertent Instrument Meteorological Condition (IIMC)
Inadvertent Instrument Meteorological Condition (IIMC) Some pilots have the misconception that inadvertent instrument meteorological condition (IIMC) does not apply to an IFR flight. The following examples could cause a pilot to inadvertently encounter IMC. 1. The aircraft has entered visual ... meteorological conditions (VMC) during an instrument approach procedure (IAP) and while circling to land encounters IMC. 2. During a non-precision IAP, the aircraft, in VMC, levels at the MDA just below the overcast. Suddenly, the aircraft re-enters…
- Appendix A: Emergency Procedures › Instrument Failure
Aircraft control must be maintained while the pilot identifies the failed components and expedite cross-check including all flight instruments. The problem may be individual instrument failure or a system failure affecting several instruments. One method of identification involves ... compares the static system with the pressure system and electrical system. Identify the failed components and use remaining functional instruments to maintain aircraft control. Attempt to restore inoperative components by checking the appropriate power source, changing to a backup…
