  Chapter 7: Automation & Flight Path Management › Integrated Flight Path Automation Systems

  Integrated Flight Path Automation Systems Use of automation is an excellent risk control measure when flying in a variety of flight environments where the pilot has a high workload. For example, autopilots are often very useful during complex single-pilot ... manually within appropriate standards. Pilots should train and practice using automation under VFR with an appropriately qualified and knowledgeable flight instructor before attempting IFR flight. In addition, using a flight simulation training device provides the opportunity to practice and repeat…

  decision-making, and good operating practices. A pilot training program depends on the quality of the ground and flight instruction the student pilot receives. The flight instructor must possess a thorough understanding of the learning process, knowledge of the fundamentals ... student pilot. Use of a structured training program and formal course syllabus is crucial for effective and comprehensive flight training. It should be clear to the student in advance of every lesson what the course of training will involve…

  first decision point is preflight in the flight planning room, where all the information is readily available to make a sound decision, and where communication and Fixed Base Operator (FBO) services are readily available to make alternate travel plans ... second easiest point in the flight to make a critical safety decision is just prior to takeoff. Few pilots have ever had to make an “emergency takeoff.” While the point of the 5P check is to help the pilot…

  Airplane Flight Manual or Pilot’s Operating Handbook (AFM/POH) The Aircraft Flight Manual or Pilot’s Operating Handbook (AFM/POH) should be checked to determine the proper loading of the aircraft (weight and balance data). The weight of the usable fuel ... other permanent aircraft records, as appropriate, to obtain empty weight and empty weight CG information. Determine the takeoff and landing distances from the appropriate charts, based on the calculated load, elevation of the airport, and temperature; then compare these distances…

  errors. At other times, automation may lull pilots into complacency. Pilots who consistently rely on an autopilot for flight path management may experience degraded ability to fly manually when required to do so. For example, when flying in icing conditions ... could disconnect and leave the aircraft in an undesired state. A pilot who has become unaccustomed to manual flight may not be prepared to handle the situation. 12290 Reprogramming tasks that occur unexpectedly can trigger pilot errors, which may result…
