- Chapter 10: IFR Flight › IFR Flight Plan › Cancelling IFR Flight Plans
Cancelling IFR Flight Plans An IFR flight plan may be cancelled any time a pilot is operating in VFR conditions outside Class A airspace by stating “cancel my IFR flight plan” to the controller or air-toground station. After cancelling ... IFR flight plan, the pilot should change to the appropriate air-to-ground frequency, transponder code as directed, and VFR altitude/flight level. ATC separation and information services (including radar services, where applicable) are discontinued when an IFR flight plan…

change in the gliding airspeed results in a proportional change in the distance flown. [Figure 3-24] As the glide airspeed is increased or decreased from the best glide airspeed, the glide ratio is lessened. Figure 3-23. L/DMAX. Figure ... Best glide speed provides the greatest forward distance Variations in weight do not affect the glide angle provided the pilot uses the proper airspeed. Since it is the L/D ratio that determines the distance the airplane can glide, weight does…
- 14 CFR § 91.1717 Operating requirements.
Operating requirements. (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, no person may operate a Mitsubishi MU-2B airplane in single pilot operations unless that airplane has a functional autopilot. (b) A person may operate a Mitsubishi ... airplane in single pilot operations without a functional autopilot when— (1) Operating under day visual flight rule requirements; or (2) Authorized under a FAA approved minimum equipment list for that airplane, operating under instrument flight rule requirements in daytime visual…
- 14 CFR § 91.219 Altitude alerting system or device: Turbojet-powered civil airplanes.
Altitude alerting system or device: Turbojet-powered civil airplanes. A radio altimeter may be included to provide the signal if the operator has an approved procedure for its use to determine DA/DH or MDA, as appropriate. (c) Each operator ... those procedures assigned to him. (d) Paragraph (a) of this section does not apply to any operation of an airplane that has an experimental certificate or to the operation of any airplane for the following purposes: (1) Ferrying a newly…
- Chapter 4: Energy Management: Mastering Altitude and Airspeed Control › Viewing the Airplane as an Energy System › A Frame of Reference for Managing Energy State
Viewing the Airplane as an Energy System The total mechanical energy of an airplane in flight is the sum of its potential energy from altitude and kinetic energy from airspeed. The potential energy is expressed ... kinetic energy as ½ mV². Thus, the airplane's total mechanical energy can be stated as: mgh + ½ mV² Where, m = mass g = gravitational constant h = height (altitude) V = velocity (airspeed) A flying airplane is an “open” energy system, which means…
- Chapter 3: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Attitude Flying
Bank attitude is the angle formed by the airplane's lateral axis, which extends from wingtip to wingtip, and the natural horizon. Controlling an airplane requires one of two methods to determine the airplane’s attitude in reference ... horizon. When flying “visually” in visual meteorological conditions (VMC), a pilot uses their eyes and visually references the airplane’s wings and cowling to establish the airplane’s attitude to the natural horizon (a visible horizon). If no visible horizon…
