  Chapter 3: Identifying Hazards & Associated Risks › Aircraft Hazards › Equipage

  control in-flight. Equipage The avionics and other equipment installed in an aircraft affect both utility and the ease with which a pilot can identify hazards. Equipment considerations include: • Redundancy–Could equipment failure affect the type of flight contemplated ... without an autopilot increases pilot workload. A pilot flying an aircraft in these conditions might consider aircraft without an autopilot an “A” hazard. • Inoperative Equipment–Inoperative equipment triggers an “A” hazard. For example, an inoperative landing light may make night…

  pilot planning a long flight should consider appropriate food and water intake and supply. Figure 3-3. IMSAFE checklist. Aircraft Hazards “A” hazards can be classified in terms of both performance and equipage. Performance Aircraft performance hazards may include: • Fuel ... issues continue to be a leading cause of general aviation accidents. Planning a flight to the aircraft’s maximum range magnifies this “A” hazard. Inaccurate calculations, changing conditions, or the aircraft’s failure to achieve “book” speeds and fuel consumption…

TFRs can exist to protect aircraft from hazards, and also to protect people/objects on the ground from aircraft hazards. Examples of TFRs include natural disaster areas especially forest fires, floods, congested flight areas, the area around spacecraft launches and recoveries…

  terrain can maneuver to avoid it. • Preflight Planning–Many hazards can be detected through preflight planning. Weather briefings identify hazards. Aircraft performance calculations, preflight inspections, and other routine procedures may identify hazards. • On-board Equipment–The availability of lower-cost ... traffic, airspace activity, and other hazards. • Postflight Inspections–Inspecting the aircraft following the completion of a flight may identify aircraft hazards before the next person flies the aircraft. Common items include condition of tires and brakes, security of access panels…
