only turn rate. Figure 6-12. Turn coordinator and turn-and-slip indicator. Power Control A power change to adjust airspeed may cause movement around some or all of the aircraft axes. The amount and direction of movement depends ... power changes during level flight is illustrated in Figures 6-13 and 6-14. During or immediately after adjusting the power control(s), the power instruments should be cross-checked to see if the power adjustment is as desired. Whether…

airspeed is high or low, change the power to obtain the desired airspeed. During the change in power, make an accurate interpretation of the altimeter, then counteract any deviation from the desired altitude by an appropriate change of pitch attitude ... both airspeed and altitude are low, or if both are high, changes in both power and pitch attitude are necessary. To make power control easy when changing airspeed, it is necessary to know the approximate power settings for the various…

progress of the flight at all times. Balancing the use of automation with manual flying skills is necessary in case a particular situation requires pilot intervention. Using automation proficiently and at the appropriate level reduces risk and helps prevent incidents ... accidents. Chapter 8: Aeronautical Decision-Making in Flight Introduction ADM Background Analytical Decision-Making Introduction This chapter focuses on the pilot aeronautical decision-making (ADM) skills used to mitigate risk factors while in flight.

first decision point is preflight in the flight planning room, where all the information is readily available to make a sound decision, and where communication and Fixed Base Operator (FBO) services are readily available to make alternate travel plans ... second easiest point in the flight to make a critical safety decision is just prior to takeoff. Few pilots have ever had to make an “emergency takeoff.” While the point of the 5P check is to help the pilot…
- Chapter 8: Helicopter Attitude Instrument Flying › Unusual Attitudes
instability characteristics of the helicopter, unusual attitudes can be extremely critical. As soon as an unusual attitude is detected, make a recovery to straight-and-level flight as soon as possible with a minimum loss of altitude. To recover from ... unusual attitude, a pilot should correct bank-and-pitch attitude and adjust power as necessary. All components are changed almost simultaneously, with little lead of one over the other. A pilot must be able to perform this task with…

such as knowing if the oil pressure gauge is direct reading or uses a sensor, is the difference between making a wise decision or poor one that leads to a tragic error. Figure 2-17. When possible, have a passenger ... pilots with traffic advisories, radar vectors, and assistance in emergency situations. Although it is the PIC’s responsibility to make the flight as safe as possible, a pilot with a problem can request assistance from ATC. [Figure…
