- Chapter 8: Aviation Instructor Responsibilities and Professionalism › Safety Practices and Accident Prevention
Safety Practices and Accident Prevention Aviation instructors are on the front line of efforts to improve the safety record of the aviation industry. Safety, one of the most fundamental considerations in aviation training, is paramount. Comprehensive FAA regulations promote safety ... mitigating conditions that can cause death, injury, or damage, but even the strictest compliance with regulations may not guarantee safety. Rules and regulations are designed to address known or suspected conditions detrimental to safety, but there is always a chance…
- Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Performance › Straight-and-Level Flight
Level Flight All of the principal components of flight performance involve steady-state flight conditions and equilibrium of the aircraft. For the aircraft to remain in steady, level flight, equilibrium must be obtained by a lift equal to the aircraft ... weight and a powerplant thrust equal to the aircraft drag. Thus, the aircraft drag defines the thrust required to maintain steady, level flight. As presented in Chapter 4, Aerodynamics of Flight, all parts of an aircraft contribute to the drag…
- Appendix C: Certificates, Ratings, and Endorsements › Flight Instructor Endorsements › Aircraft Checkouts/Transitions
Flight Instructors as Certifying Officials for Student Pilot and Remote Pilot Applicants, has process details for instructors and applicants. Aircraft Checkouts/Transitions Certificated pilots depend on flight instructors for aircraft checkouts and transition training including high performance airplanes, tail wheel airplanes ... motor gliders, and aircraft capable of flight at high altitudes. The flight instructor who checks out and certifies the competency of a pilot in an aircraft for which a type rating is not required by regulation accepts major responsibility…
- Chapter 1: Introduction To Flying › Aircraft Classifications and Ultralight Vehicles
Airplane—an engine-driven fixed-wing aircraft heavier than air, that is supported in flight by the dynamic reaction of the air against its wings. • Glider—a heavier-than-air aircraft, that is supported in flight by the dynamic reaction ... against its lifting surfaces and whose free flight does not depend principally on an engine. • Lighter-than-air aircraft—an aircraft that can rise and remain suspended by using contained gas weighing less than the air that is displaced…
- Chapter 9: Flight Manuals and Other Documents › Examples of Preventive Maintenance › Special Flight Permits
Minor repairs and minor alterations may be approved for return to service with a proper entry in the maintenance records by an FAA-certificated A&P mechanic or an appropriately certificated repair station. For modifications of experimental aircraft, refer ... operating limitations issued to that aircraft. Modifications in accordance with FAA Order 8130.2, Airworthiness Certification of Aircraft and Related Products, may require the notification of the issuing authority. Special Flight Permits A special flight permit is a Special Airworthiness Certificate…
- Chapter 8: Aviation Instructor Responsibilities and Professionalism › Flight Instructor Qualifications
best actions a flight or maintenance instructor can take to enhance aviation safety is to emphasize safety by example. Another way for the instructor to advocate safety is to partner with the FAA Safety Team (FAASTeam). The FAASTeam is dedicated ... improving the aviation safety record by conveying safety principles and practices through training, outreach, and education. More information is available at FAASafety.gov. Flight Instructor Qualifications A flight instructor needs to be thoroughly familiar with the functions, characteristics, and proper…
