  • Chapter 8: Flight Instruments › Airspeed Indicator Markings

    Airspeed Indicator Markings Aircraft weighing 12,500 pounds or less, manufactured after 1945, and certificated by the FAA are required to have ASIs marked in accordance with a standard color-coded marking system. This system of color-coded markings enables ... pilot to determine at a glance certain airspeed limitations that are important to the safe operation of the aircraft. For example, if during the execution of a maneuver, it is noted that the airspeed needle is in the yellow…

  • Chapter 5. Air Traffic Procedures › Section 1. Preflight › 5-1-12. Change in Flight Plan

    Change in Flight Plan a. In addition to altitude or flight level, destination and/or route changes, increasing or decreasing the speed of an aircraft constitutes a change in a flight plan. Therefore, at any time the average true airspeed ... plan by plus or minus 5 percent, or 10 knots, whichever is greater, ATC should be advised. b. All changes to existing flight plans should be completed more than 46 minutes prior to the proposed departure time. Changes must…

  • Chapter 9: Techniques of Flight Instruction › The Telling-and-Doing Technique › Instructor Tells—Instructor Does

    Telling-and-Doing Technique The demonstration-performance method can be applied to the telling-and-doing technique of flight instruction in three steps. However, the telling-and-doing technique includes specific variations for flight instruction. [Figure 9-7] Figure ... This comparison of steps in the teaching process, the demonstration-performance method, and the telling-and-doing technique highlights similarities as well as differences. The main difference in the telling-and-doing technique is the important transition, learner tells—instructor…

    Figure 5-35. Normal, slipping, and skidding turns at a constant altitude. If the climb is entered with no change in power setting, the airspeed gradually diminishes because the thrust required to maintain a given airspeed in level flight ... insufficient to maintain the same airspeed in a climb. When the flight path is inclined upward, a component of the aircraft’s weight acts in the same direction as, and parallel to, the total drag of the aircraft, thereby increasing…

  • Chapter 9: Techniques of Flight Instruction › Assessment of Piloting Ability › Practical Test Recommendations

    Practical Test Recommendations Provision is made on the airman certificate or rating application form for the written recommendation of the flight instructor who has prepared the applicant for the practical test involved. Signing this recommendation imposes a serious responsibility ... flight instructor. A flight instructor who makes a practical test recommendation for an applicant seeking a certificate or rating should require the applicant to thoroughly demonstrate the knowledge and skill level required for that certificate or rating. This demonstration should…
