  • Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Takeoff and Landing Performance › Landing Performance

    cases, the pilot must make an accurate prediction of takeoff distance from the performance data of the AFM/POH, regardless of the runway available, and strive for a polished, professional takeoff procedure. In the prediction of takeoff distance from the AFM/POH ... slope and condition—the effect of an incline and retarding effect of factors such as snow or ice Landing Performance In many cases, the landing distance of an aircraft defines the runway requirements for flight operations. The minimum landing distance…

  • Chapter 5. Air Traffic Procedures › Section 4. Arrival Procedures › 5-4-27. Overhead Approach Maneuver

    Overhead Approach Maneuver a. Pilots operating in accordance with an IFR flight plan in Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC) may request ATC authorization for an overhead maneuver. An overhead maneuver is not an instrument approach procedure. Overhead maneuver patterns are developed ... airports where aircraft have an operational need to conduct the maneuver. An aircraft conducting an overhead maneuver is considered to be VFR and the IFR flight plan is canceled when the aircraft reaches the initial point on the initial approach…

  • Chapter 2. Aeronautical Lighting and Other Airport Visual Aids › Section 3. Airport Marking Aids and Signs › 2-3-5. Holding Position Markings

    Otherwise, pilots are authorized to use the entire landing length of the runway and disregard the holding position markings. 3. Holding Position Markings on Taxiways Located in Runway Approach Areas. These markings are used at some airports where ... necessary to hold an aircraft on a taxiway located in the approach or departure area of a runway so that the aircraft does not interfere with the operations on that runway. This marking is collocated with the runway approach/departure area…

  • Chapter 4. Air Traffic Control › Section 1. Services Available to Pilots › 4-1-18. Terminal Radar Services for VFR Aircraft

    Traffic information is provided on a workload permitting basis. Standard radar separation between VFR or between VFR and IFR aircraft is not provided. (a) Pilots of arriving VFR aircraft should initiate radio contact on the publicized frequency with approach control ... when approximately 25 miles from the airport at which sequencing services are being provided. On initial contact by VFR aircraft, approach control will assume that sequencing service is requested. After radar contact is established, the pilot may use pilot navigation…

  • Chapter 4: Approaches › Aircraft Performance Operating Limitations

    Aircraft Performance Operating Limitations Generally speaking, air carriers must have in place an approved method of complying with Subpart I of 14 CFR Parts 121 and 135 (Airplane Performance Operating Limitations), thereby proving the airplane’s performance capability for every ... that it intends to make. Flight crews must have an approved method of complying with the approach and landing performance criteria in the applicable regulations prior to departing for their intended destination. The primary source of information for performance calculations…
