- Chapter 6: Assessment › Scenario-Based Training
FITS program emphasizes combining traditional task and maneuver training with Scenario Based Training (SBT) to teach the advanced pilot judgment and risk management skills required in the SRM environment. In many respects, scenario-based training is not a new concept ... Experienced flight instructors have been using scenarios to teach cross country operations, emergency procedures, and other flight skills for years. Scenario-based training puts the learner pilot into the normal cross-country environment much earlier than traditional flight training programs…
- Chapter 7: Planning Instructional Activity › Scenario-Based Training (SBT) › SBT Lesson Plan
based on the concept of situated cognition, which is the idea that knowledge cannot be known and fully understood independent of its context. In other words, humans learn better from realistic situations where they are counted on to perform ... example, realistic cross-country flight scenarios planned and executed by the pilot in training with assistance from the flight instructor begin the early development of flight deck management skills, situational awareness, and ADM. Continued engagement by the learner…
- Chapter 16: Navigation › Distance D = GS X T › Fuel Consumption
with reciprocating engines, the Aircraft Flight Manual/Pilot’s Operating Handbook (AFM/POH) supplied by the aircraft manufacturer provides gallons-per-hour values to assist with preflight planning. When planning a flight, you must determine how much fuel is needed to reach ... your destination by calculating the distance the aircraft can travel (with winds considered) at a known rate of fuel consumption (gal/hr or lbs/hr) for the expected groundspeed (GS) and ensure this amount, plus an adequate reserve, is available on board…
- Chapter 4: Helicopter Components, Sections, and Systems › Centrifugal Clutch › Engine Fuel Control System
always a good habit, if possible, to visually verify the fuel on board prior to flight and determine if adequate fuel is present for the duration of the flight. Additionally, 14 CFR section 27.1305(l)(1) requires newer helicopters ... have warning systems “provide a warning to the flight crew when approximately 10 minutes of usable fuel remains in the tank.” Caution should be used to eliminate unnecessary or erratic maneuvering that could cause interruption of fuel flow…
- Chapter 7: Aircraft Systems › Carburetor Air Temperature Gauge › Fuel Injection Systems
Most aircraft are also equipped with an outside air temperature (OAT) gauge calibrated in both degrees Figure 7-13. Fuel injection system. Celsius and Fahrenheit. It provides the outside or ambient air temperature for calculating true airspeed and is useful ... detecting potential icing conditions. Fuel Injection Systems In a fuel injection system, the fuel is injected directly into the cylinders, or just ahead of the intake valve. The air intake for the fuel injection system is similar to that used…
- Chapter 2: Engine Fuel & Fuel Metering Systems › Turbine Engine Fuel System—General Requirements › Hydromechanical/Electronic Fuel Control
Hydromechanical/Electronic Fuel Control The addition of the electronic control to the basic hydromechanical fuel control was the next step in the development of turbine engine fuel controls. Generally, this type of system used a remotely located EEC to adjust ... fuel flow. A description of a typical system is explained in the following information. The basic function of the engine fuel system is to pressurize the fuel, meter fuel flow, and deliver atomized fuel to the combustion section…
