right or left and above and below the object, viewing no longer than 2 to 3 seconds at each position. High Intensity Lighting If, during the flight, any high intensity lighting areas are encountered, attempt to turn the aircraft away ... periphery of the lighted area. This will not expose the eyes to such a large amount of light all at once. If possible, plan your route to avoid direct over flight of built-up, brightly lit areas. Flightdeck Lighting Flightdeck…
- Chapter 14: Airport Operations › Airport Lighting › Stop Bar Lights
Stop Bar Lights Stop bar lights, when installed, are used to confirm the ATC clearance to enter or cross the active runway in low visibility conditions (below 1,200 ft Runway Visual Range (RVR)). A stop bar consists ... unidirectional, steady-burning in-pavement lights installed across the entire taxiway at the runway holding position, and elevated steady-burning red lights on each side. A controlled stop bar is operated in conjunction with the taxiway centerline lead-on lights…
- Chapter 10: IFR Flight › En Route Procedures › Position Reports
Position Reports Position reports are required over each compulsory reporting point (shown on the chart as a solid triangle) along the route being flown regardless of altitude, including those with a VFR-on-top clearance. Along direct routes, reports ... reporting points (shown as an open triangle) are made only when requested by ATC. A pilot should discontinue position reporting over designated reporting points when informed by ATC that the aircraft is in “RADAR CONTACT.” Position reporting should be resumed…
- Chapter 14: Airport Operations › Airport Lighting › Runway Edge Lights
Runway Lighting There are various lights that identify parts of the runway complex. These assist a pilot in safely making a takeoff or landing during night operations. Runway End Identifier Lights (REIL) Runway end identifier lights (REIL) are installed ... many airfields to provide rapid and positive identification of the approach end of a particular runway. The system consists of a pair of synchronized flashing lights located laterally on each side of the runway threshold. REILs may be either omnidirectional…
- Chapter 14: Airport Operations › Traffic Patterns
Traffic Patterns At airports without an operating control tower, a segmented circle visual indicator system, if installed, is designed to provide traffic pattern information. [Figure 14-38] Usually located in a position affording maximum visibility to pilots ... providing a centralized location for other elements of the system, the segmented circle consists of the following components: wind direction indicators, landing direction indicators, landing strip indicators, and traffic pattern indicators. A tetrahedron is installed to indicate the direction…
- 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 ... 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. The goal…
