  also for possible downdrafts that might be associated with high winds. To illustrate the use of the altimeter setting system, follow a flight from Dallas Love Field, Texas, to Abilene Municipal Airport, Texas, via Mineral Wells. Before taking off from ... Love Field, the pilot receives a current altimeter setting of 29.85 "Hg from the control tower or ATIS and sets this value in the altimeter setting window. The altimeter indication should then be compared with the known airport elevation…

  experiences of other pilots, coupled with the forecast, might cause the pilot to assign “occasional” to determine the probability of encountering IMC. Figure 2-5. This risk matrix can be used for almost any operation by assigning likelihood and consequence ... case presented, the pilot assigned a likelihood of occasional and the severity as catastrophic. As one can see, this falls in the high risk area. The following are guidelines for making assignments. • Probable—an event will occur several times • Occasional…

  Scenario 2: Turboprop-Powered, Personal Transportation The pilot owns a small specialized manufacturing firm, with production facilities in St. Petersburg, FL and a second facility in Pittsfield, MA. The pilot also has a summer home in the Berkshires. To facilitate ... traffic in the Washington, DC and New York metro areas. In the past, reroutes occurred, and the pilot was assigned a lower altitude where the PA-46 loses fuel efficiency. The plan includes an arrival at PSF at about…

  power required curve represents the speed at which the lowest brake horsepower sustains level flight. This is termed the best endurance airspeed. An airplane performing a low airspeed, high pitch attitude power approach for a short-field landing ... sink rate should develop, it may be possible for the pilot to reduce or stop the descent by applying power. But without further use of power, the airplane would probably stall or be incapable of flaring for the landing. Merely…

  Chapter 7: Automation & Flight Path Management Introduction Introduction Automation systems provide an interface allowing the pilot to set a desired aircraft state. The system takes pilot input and aircraft information into account, develops a logical solution, and acts to fulfill ... individual systems. For example, a pilot might hold a switch and monitor an indicator to obtain a desired flap setting in an aircraft equipped with electric flaps. Automation of this system included a series of detents for the flap switch…

  Power-On Approach to Stall (Takeoff and Departure) A power-on approach to stall is trained and checked to simulate problematic takeoff scenarios. A power-on approach to stall may be performed from straight-and-level flight or from shallow ... medium banked turns (up to 20 degrees of bank). To initiate a power-on approach to stall maneuver, the area surrounding the airplane should always be cleared to look for potential traffic. The airplane is slowed to the manufacturer…
