- Chapter 4. Air Traffic Control › Section 1. Services Available to Pilots › 4-1-19. Tower En Route Control (TEC)
When a major metropolitan airport is incurring significant delays, pilots in the TEC program may want to consider an alternative airport experiencing no delay. c. There are no unique requirements upon pilots to use the TEC program. Normal flight plan ... maximum TEC altitude of 10,000 feet. IFR flight may be planned to any satellite airport in proximity to the major primary airport via the same routing…

imperative that the landing be made on a more favorable runway either at that airport or at an alternate airport. Flaps are used during most approaches since they tend to have a stabilizing effect on the airplane. The degree ... round out. If the wings are leveled, the airplane begins drifting and the touchdown occurs while drifting. Remember, the primary objective is to land the airplane without subjecting it to any side loads that result from touching down while drifting…

Increasing back pressure to flare for landing Trim mechanisms can be useful in the event of an in-flight primary control failure. For example, if the linkage between the cabin and the elevator fails in flight, leaving the elevator free ... gear legs refuses to respond to the conventional or alternate methods of gear extension contained in the AFM/POH, a gear-up landing is considered inevitable. The pilot should select an airport with crash and rescue facilities, if possible. The pilot…

finally pilot and ATC responsibilities. d. Why are DPs necessary? The primary reason is to provide obstacle clearance protection information to pilots. A secondary reason, at busier airports, is to increase efficiency and reduce communications and departure delays through ... SIDs. When an instrument approach is initially developed for an airport, the need for DPs is assessed. The procedure designer conducts an obstacle analysis to support departure operations. If an aircraft may turn in any direction from a runway within…

left) and loadmeter (right). Figure 11-5. Double rocker switch seen on many aircraft. While en route to the airport of intended landing, reduce the electrical load as much as practical. Turn off all unnecessary electrical items, such as duplicate ... electrical power for the primary six-pack instrumentation. Modern EFDs utilize the electrical system to power the Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS), air data computer (ADC), engine indicating system (EIS), etc. A loss of an alternator or generator was considered…

such as when the primary missed approach NAVAID fails during the approach. Pilots may reject an ATC clearance for an alternate missed approach that requires equipment not necessary for the published approach procedure when the alternate missed approach is issued ... However, when the alternate missed approach is issued prior to beginning the approach the pilot must either accept the entire procedure (including the alternate missed approach), request a different approach procedure, or coordinate with ATC for alternative action…
