  • Chapter 14: Airport Operations › Collision Avoidance › Runway Incursion Avoidance

    preflight planning, before descending to land and while taxiing, as needed. • Know airport signage. • Review NOTAM for information on runway/ taxiway closures and construction areas. • Request progressive taxi instructions from ATC when unsure of the taxi route. • Check for traffic ... before crossing any runway hold line and before entering a taxiway. • Turn on aircraft lights and the rotating beacon or strobe lights while taxing. • When landing, clear the active runway as soon as possible, then wait for taxi instructions before…

  • Chapter 4. Air Traffic Control › Section 3. Airport Operations › 4-3-21. Exiting the Runway After Landing

    Pilots must not exit the landing runway onto another runway unless authorized by ATC. At airports with an operating control tower, pilots should not stop or reverse course on the runway without first obtaining ATC approval. b. Taxi clear ... runway unless otherwise directed by ATC. An aircraft is considered clear of the runway when all parts of the aircraft are past the runway edge and there are no restrictions to its continued movement beyond the runway holding position markings…

  • Chapter 14: Airport Operations › En Route › Vortex Avoidance Procedures

    Vortex Avoidance Procedures The following procedures are in place to assist pilots in vortex avoidance in the given scenario. • Landing behind a larger aircraft on the same runway— stay at or above the larger aircraft’s approach flight path ... land beyond its touchdown point. [Figure 14-47A] • Landing behind a larger aircraft on a parallel runway closer than 2,500 feet—consider the possibility of drift and stay at or above the larger aircraft’s final approach flight…

  • Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Takeoff and Landing Performance › Runway Surface and Gradient

    Ensure that runways are adequate in length for takeoff acceleration and landing deceleration when less than ideal surface conditions are being reported. Figure 11-15. Takeoff distance chart. The gradient or slope of the runway is the amount of change ... runway height over the length of the runway. The gradient is expressed as a percentage, such as a 3 percent gradient. This means that for every 100 feet of runway length, the runway height changes by 3 feet. A positive…

    item included in the applicable ACS/ PTS. The ACS integrates risk management and safety throughout and with supplementary appendix information. PTS lists special emphasis items. Some common items include: 1. Positive aircraft control 2. Procedures for positive ... exchange of flight controls 3. Stall and spin awareness 4. Collision avoidance 5.

  • 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…
