- Chapter 11: Emergency Operations › Analog Instrument Failure
Pilots can attempt to troubleshoot alternator failure by following the established alternator failure procedure published in the POH/ AFM. If the alternator cannot be reset, advise ATC of the situation and inform them of the impending electrical failure. Figure ... Emergency instrumentation available to the pilot on electronic flight instrumented aircraft. Analog Instrument Failure A warning indicator, or an inconsistency between indications on the attitude indicator and the supporting performance instruments, usually identifies system or instrument failure. Aircraft control must…
- Chapter 7, Section I: Airplane Basic Flight Maneuvers › Leveling Off › Common Errors in Straight Climbs and Descents
Failure to trim off pressures. Unless the airplane is trimmed, there is difficulty in determining whether control pressure changes are induced by aerodynamic changes or by the pilot’s own movements. 5. Failure to learn and use proper power settings ... Failure to cross-check both airspeed and vertical speed before making pitch or power adjustments. 7. Improper pitch and power coordination on slow-speed level offs due to slow cross-check of airspeed and altimeter indications. 8. Failure to cross…
- Chapter 8: Helicopter Attitude Instrument Flying › 30° Bank Turn › Climbing and Descending Turns
descending turns, keep the ball of the turn indicator centered with pedal trim. Common Errors During Turns 1. Failure to maintain desired turn rate 2. Failure to maintain altitude in level turns 3. Failure to maintain desired airspeed 4. Variation ... rate of entry and recovery 5. Failure to use proper lead in turns to a heading 6. Failure to properly compute time during timed turns 7. Failure to use proper leads and lags during the compass turns 8. Improper…
- Chapter 8: Helicopter Attitude Instrument Flying › Turns
Common Errors During Straight Climbs and Descents 1. Failure to maintain heading 2. Improper use of power 3. Poor control of pitch attitude 4. Failure to maintain proper pedal trim 5. Failure to level off on desired altitude Turns Turns ... exceeding a standard rate of 3° per second as indicated on the turn-and-slip indicator. True airspeed determines the angle of bank necessary to maintain a standard rate turn. A rule of thumb to determine the approximate angle…
- Chapter 7, Section I: Airplane Basic Flight Maneuvers › Pitch › Common Errors in Straight-and-Level Flight
Misinterpretation of changes in heading, with resulting corrections in the wrong direction. 3. Failure to note and remember a preselected heading. 4. Failure to observe the rate of heading change and its relation to bank attitude. 5. Overcontrolling in response ... heading changes, especially during changes in power settings. 6. Anticipating heading changes with premature application of rudder control. 7. Failure to correct small heading deviations. Unless zero error in heading is the goal, a pilot will tolerate larger and larger…
- Chapter 7, Section I: Airplane Basic Flight Maneuvers › Turns › Pitch
Failure to cross-check the ASI as pitch changes are made. 2. Erratic use of power control. This may be due to improper throttle friction control, inaccurate throttle settings, chasing the airspeed readings, abrupt or overcontrolled pitch-and-bank changes ... failure to recheck the airspeed to note the effect of a power adjustment. 3. Poor coordination of throttle control with pitch-andbank changes associated with slow cross-check or failure to understand the aerodynamic factors related to turns. Trim Trim…
