- Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Takeoff and Landing Performance › Landing Performance
increase of landing speed by ten percent increases the landing distance by 20 percent. Hydroplaning makes braking ineffective until a decrease of speed that can be determined by using Figure 11-18. For instance, a pilot is downwind for runway ... tower asks if runway 27 could be accepted. There is a light rain and the winds are out of the east at ten knots. The pilot accepts because he or she is approaching the extended centerline of runway…
- Chapter 4. Air Traffic Control › Section 3. Airport Operations › 4-3-11. Pilot Responsibilities When Conducting Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO)
pilot-in-command has the final authority to accept or decline any land and hold short clearance. The safety and operation of the aircraft remain the responsibility of the pilot. Pilots are expected to decline a LAHSO clearance if they ... determine it will compromise safety. 4. To conduct LAHSO, pilots should become familiar with all available information concerning LAHSO at their destination airport. Pilots should have, readily available, the published ALD and runway slope information for all LAHSO runway combinations…
- Chapter 9: Approaches and Landings › Crosswind Approach and Landing › Crosswind Final Approach
Pilots using this technique use precise airplane control as changes in control pressure occur near the ground, on short final, and while over the runway. To use the wing-low method, the pilot first uses rudder to align and maintain ... airplane’s heading with the runway direction. Since the airplane is now exposed to an uncorrected crosswind, the airplane will begin to drift. Note the rate and direction of drift, and oppose it using ailerons resulting in just enough bank…
- Chapter 9: Approaches and Landings › Normal Approach and Landing › Base Leg
Base Leg The placement of the base leg is one of the important judgments made by the pilot to set up for a good landing. [Figure 9-3] The pilot accurately judges the height, distance from the approach ... runway, and rate of descent to allow a stabilized approach, round out, and touchdown at the desired spot. The distance depends on the altitude of the base leg, the current winds, and the amount of wing flaps used. When there…
- Chapter 1: Introduction To Flying › Pilot Certifications › Commercial Pilot
Private Pilot A private pilot is one who flies for pleasure or personal business without accepting compensation for flying except in some very limited, specific circumstances. The Private Pilot Certificate is the certificate held by the majority of active pilots ... under VFR. Passengers may be carried and flight in furtherance of a business is permitted; however, a private pilot may not be compensated in any way for services as a pilot, although passengers can pay a pro rata share…
