Defenses Provided by the Pilot or Crew Certain pilot behaviors defend against threats and errors. Clear Communication and Briefings Whether operating as a single pilot or as part of a crew, clear and concise communication is the foundation for sharing ... plan for what will happen next and to stay ahead of the aircraft. A forward-looking plan also provides for early detection of any deviation from expectations. Time Management On the ground, the pilot has the option to stop…
- Chapter 16: Navigation › Dead Reckoning › Wind Triangle or Vector Analysis
Dead Reckoning Dead reckoning is navigation solely by means of computations based on time, airspeed, distance, and direction. The products derived from these variables, when adjusted by wind speed and velocity, are heading and GS. The predicted heading takes ... aircraft along the intended path and the GS establishes the time to arrive at each checkpoint and the destination. Except for flights over water, dead reckoning is usually used with pilotage for cross-country flying. The heading…

The pilot may 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.

world aeronautical chart on the other. [Figure 16-18] Pilotage Pilotage is navigation by reference to landmarks or checkpoints. It is a method of navigation that can be used on any course that has adequate checkpoints, but it is more ... commonly used in conjunction with dead reckoning and VFR radio navigation. The checkpoints selected should be prominent features common to the area of the flight. Choose checkpoints that can be readily identified by other features, such as roads, rivers, railroad…
