- Chapter 4: Approaches › Approach Control
Approach Control Approach control is responsible for controlling all instrument flights operating within its area of responsibility. Approach control may serve one or more airports. Control is exercised primarily through direct pilot and controller communication and airport surveillance radar ... Prior to arriving at the initial approach fix (IAF), instructions will be received from the air route traffic control center (ARTCC) to contact approach control on a specified frequency. Where radar is approved for approach control service, it is used…
- 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…
- Appendix A: Emergency Procedures › Generator Failure
Other aircraft use a load meter to indicate the load being carried by the generator. If the generator fails, a zero load indication is shown on the load meter. Review the appropriate aircraft operator’s manual for information ... 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…
- Chapter 10: IFR Flight › Approaches › Approach to an Airport With an Operating Tower, With an Approach Control
Radar vectors and altitude/flight levels are issued as required for spacing and separating aircraft; do not deviate from the headings issued by approach control. 4. Aircraft are normally informed when it becomes necessary to be vectored across the final approach ... spacing or other reasons. If approach course crossing is imminent and the pilot has not been informed that the aircraft will be vectored across the final approach course, the pilot should query the controller. The pilot is not expected…

which a controller provides highly accurate navigational guidance in azimuth and elevation to a pilot. The controller gives the pilot headings to fly that direct the aircraft to, and keep the aircraft aligned with, the extended centerline of the landing ... when to start descent. The published decision height (DH) is given only if the pilot requests it. If the aircraft is observed to deviate above or below the glidepath, the pilot is given the relative amount of deviation…
- CHAPTER 2. REDUCING GENERAL AVIATION ACCIDENTS › 2.2 Manual Flight After Automation Failure › 2.2.3 Proficiency in Manual Aircraft Control
Proficiency in Manual Aircraft Control. Pilots should be proficient in manual aircraft control and should be able to operate the aircraft without the use of the aircraft’s automation. Advanced avionics and flight automation offer many levels of automation. Pilots ... understand that no one level of automation is appropriate for all flight situations. If a flight automation system failure occurs, in whole or in part, the pilot should possess the knowledge to address the situation. This may include isolating…
