- Chapter 9: Techniques of Flight Instruction › Use of Distractions
Distractions National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) statistics reveal that most stall/spin accidents occurred when the pilot’s attention was diverted from the primary task of flying the aircraft. Sixty percent of stall/spin accidents occurred during takeoff and landing, and twenty ... preceded by engine failure. Preoccupation inside or outside the flight deck while changing aircraft configuration or trim, maneuvering to avoid other traffic, or clearing hazardous obstacles during takeoff and climb could create a potential stall/spin situation. The intentional practice…

indirect experience and education. It is important to remember the four fundamental principles of risk management: Accept No Unnecessary Risk Unnecessary risk is that which carries no commensurate return in terms of benefits or opportunities. Everything involves risk. The most ... axiom is “accept necessary risk” required to complete the flight or task successfully. Flying is impossible without risk, but unnecessary risk comes without a corresponding return. If flying a new airplane for the first time, a flight instructor might determine…
- Chapter 5: Aerodynamics of Flight › Wingtip Vortices › Avoiding Wake Turbulence
Avoiding Wake Turbulence Wingtip vortices are greatest when the generating aircraft is “heavy, clean, and slow.” This condition is most commonly encountered during approaches or departures because an aircraft’s AOA is at the highest to produce the lift necessary ... land or take off. To minimize the chances of flying through an aircraft’s wake turbulence: • Avoid flying through another aircraft’s flight path. • Rotate prior to the point at which the preceding aircraft rotated when taking off behind another…
- Chapter 14: Airport Operations › Collision Avoidance › Pilot Deviations (PDs)
pilot deviation (PD) is an action of a pilot that violates any Federal Aviation Regulation. While PDs should be avoided, the regulations do authorize deviations from a clearance in response to a traffic alert and collision avoidance system resolution advisory ... radar. Using your GPS to fly up to and along the line of the airspace you are trying to avoid could result in a pilot deviation because ATC radar may show you within the restricted airspace. Ground deviations (also called…
- Chapter 14: Airport Operations › Collision Avoidance › Runway Incursion Avoidance
ground operations. Pilot deviations can and frequently do occur on the ground. Many strategies and tactics pilots use to avoid airborne deviations also work on the ground. Pilots should also remain vigilant about vehicle/pedestrian deviations (V/PDs). A vehicle or pedestrian ... runway incursion. Best practices in preventing ground deviations can be found in the following section under runway incursion avoidance. Runway Incursion Avoidance A runway incursion is “any occurrence in the airport runway environment involving an aircraft, vehicle, person, or object…
