factors, contribute to positive climb performance in most aircraft: 1. The aircraft climbs (gains PE) using excess power above that required to maintain level flight, or 2. The aircraft climbs by converting airspeed (KE) to altitude (PE). As an example ... performance. First, aircraft must climb over obstacles to avoid hitting them. Second, climbing to higher altitudes can provide better weather, fuel economy, and other benefits. Maximum Angle of Climb (AOC), obtained at VX, may provide climb performance to ensure…

aircraft entering ground effect during landing. The aircraft leaving ground effect will: • Require an increase in AOA to maintain the same CL • Experience an increase in induced drag and thrust required • Experience a decrease in stability and a nose ... provide adequate initial climb performance. It is also important that a definite climb be established before a pilot retracts the landing gear or flaps. Never retract the landing gear or flaps prior to establishing a positive rate of climb…

Based on the position of low, close-in obstacles, weather no less than 300 ft and 1 NM may be necessary to visually avoid obstacles. (b) Takeoff minimums obstacles are especially critical ... aircraft that do not lift off until close to the departure end of the runway or which climb at the minimum rate. When departing IFR using the higher than standard takeoff minimums option, pilots are responsible for visually avoiding takeoff…

This precaution increases the rate of dark adaptation at night and improves night visual sensitivity. Oxygen Supply Unaided night vision depends on optimum function and sensitivity of the rods of the retina. Lack of oxygen to the rods (hypoxia) significantly ... darkadapted vision, continued surveillance is maintained by use of “off-center” vision. Looking 10° right or left and above and below the object, viewing no longer than 2 to 3 seconds at each position…
- SKIPPING › GLASSY WATER TAKEOFFS
cues to the seaplane’s height above the water can create a potentially dangerous situation unless a positive rate of climb is maintained. The takeoff technique is identical to a normal takeoff until the seaplane is on the step ... opposite wing contacts the water. Obviously, this would have serious consequences. Once the seaplane lifts off, establish a positive rate of climb to prevent inadvertently flying back into the water…
