  • Chapter 14: Airport Operations › Collision Avoidance › Clearing Procedures

    collision avoidance under various situations: • Before takeoff—prior to taxiing onto a runway or landing area in preparation for takeoff, pilots should scan the approach area for possible landing traffic, executing appropriate maneuvers to provide a clear view…

  • Chapter 13: Effective Aeronautical Decision-Making › Automation Management

    pilot can hand fly the maneuver when necessary. Advanced avionics offer multiple levels of automation, from strictly manual flight to highly automated flight. No one level of automation is appropriate for all flight situations, but to avoid potentially dangerous distractions…

  • Pilot/Controller Glossary › A

    necessary for normal flight. (See ICAO term ACROBATIC FLIGHT.) (Refer to 14 CFR part 91.) ACROBATIC FLIGHT [ICAO]- Maneuvers intentionally performed by an aircraft involving an abrupt change in its attitude, an abnormal attitude, or an abnormal variation in speed ... posted at the proper control positions. Adapted routes are automatically applied to flight plans where appropriate. When the workload or traffic situation permits, controllers may provide radar vectors or assign requested routes to minimize circuitous routing. Adapted routes are usually…

  • Chapter 10: Performance Maneuvers › Introduction

    planning, situational awareness, and division of attention. To further that intent, performance maneuver design allows for the application of flight control pressures, attitudes, airspeeds, and orientations that constantly change throughout the maneuver. Deficiencies during execution of performance maneuvers often occur ... never mastered them. Performance maneuver training should not take place until the pilot demonstrates consistent competency in the fundamentals. Further, initial training for performance maneuvers should always begin with a detailed ground lesson for each maneuver, so that the learner…

  • 14 CFR § 91.1065 Initial and recurrent pilot testing requirements.

    Initial and recurrent pilot testing requirements. situations, in case of inadvertent encounters, including low-altitude windshear (except that rotorcraft aircraft pilots are not required to be tested on escaping from low-altitude windshear); and (iii) Operating in or near thunderstorms ... clear air turbulence), icing, hail, and other potentially hazardous meteorological conditions; and (8) New equipment, procedures, or techniques, as appropriate. (b) No program manager or owner may use a pilot, nor may any person serve as a pilot…
