- Chapter 16: Transition to Jet-Powered Airplanes › Pilot Sensations in Jet Flying
effective slipstream over the lifting and control surfaces, and the lack of propeller torque effect. Even though moving the power levers has less effect at low power settings, the pilot should change power settings smoothly. To slow the airplane ... transitioning pilot may also need to learn when to use available drag devices appropriately. Transitioning pilots should learn power setting management for different situations. Power settings for desired performance vary because of significant changes in airplane weight as fuel…
- Chapter 15: Transition to Turbopropeller-Powered Airplanes › Operational Considerations
considered when a pilot transitions to turboprop operations. The first issue concerns the split-shaft/free turbine engine, where power output lags for several seconds when the pilot moves the power lever from flight idle to a high power setting ... only flown airplanes with a piston engine (or a fixed-shaft turboprop). Certain operations such as firefighting and agricultural application require maneuvering close to the ground while operating at or near flight idle. Although smooth power applications are still…
- Chapter 2: Ground Operations › Preflight Assessment of the Aircraft › Fuel and Oil
Figure 2-11. A jet fuel filler nozzle is flared at the end to prevent an inadvertent insertion into an AVGAS tank. Using the proper, approved grade of fuel is critical for safe, reliable engine operation. Without the proper fuel ... likely cease to operate. Therefore, it is imperative that the pilot visually verify that the airplane has the correct fuel quantity for the intended flight plus adequate and legal reserves, as well as inspect that the fuel…
- Chapter 9: Approaches and Landings › Go-Arounds (Rejected Landings) › Power
proper execution of a go-around maneuver includes three cardinal principles: 1. Power 2. Attitude 3. Configuration Power Power is the pilot’s first concern. The instant a pilot decides to go around, full or maximum allowable takeoff power should ... restored. An airplane that is settling toward the ground has inertia that needs to be overcome, and sufficient power is needed to stop the descent. The application of power is smooth, as well as positive. Abrupt movements of the throttle…
- Chapter 16: Navigation › Distance D = GS X T › Fuel Consumption
Your fuel gauge indicates low fuel level The rate of fuel consumption depends on many factors: condition of the engine, propeller/rotor pitch, propeller/ rotor revolutions per minute (rpm), richness of the mixture, and the percentage of horsepower used for flight ... cruising speed. The pilot should know the approximate consumption rate from cruise performance charts or from experience. In addition to the amount of fuel required for the flight, there should be sufficient fuel for reserve. When estimating consumption you must…
- CHAPTER 6. PART 107 SUBPART C, REMOTE PILOT CERTIFICATION › 6.4 Application Process › 6.4.1 Remote Pilot Applicants Without Part 61 Certificates
Once the applicant completes the online application in IACRA, the applicant signs the application electronically and submits it to the Airman Registry for processing. No FAA representative will be required to sign the application if the applicant was able ... self-certify. Note: When an applicant seeking a Remote Pilot Certificate uses this online option, the application transmits electronically from the applicant to the Airman Registry. The only electronic signature reflected on the IACRA application will be the applicant…
