  also useful on a rough field where the pilot should get the airplane off the ground as soon as possible to avoid damaging the landing gear. Taking off from a soft surface or through soft surfaces or long, wet grass ... from soft or rough fields, the pilot should transfer the support of the airplane’s weight as rapidly as possible from the wheels to the wings as the takeoff roll proceeds by establishing and maintaining a relatively high…

  Chapter 3: Identifying Hazards & Associated Risks › Leading Accident Causes › Identifying Hazards

  Identifying Hazards There are several ways pilots can detect hazards. Pilots should use combinations of methods to detect hazards, including the following: • Visual Observation–A pilot’s observations provide a primary means to identify hazards. For example, a pilot ... from them. A pilot who can see terrain can maneuver to avoid it. • Preflight Planning–Many hazards can be detected through preflight planning. Weather briefings identify hazards. Aircraft performance calculations, preflight inspections, and other routine procedures may identify hazards…

  airplane as practicable, thereby reducing the weight of the wing on that side. The reduced weight makes it possible to delay the unsupported wing from contacting the surface during the landing roll until the last possible moment. Reduced impact speeds ... decays, the pilot should apply whatever aileron control is necessary to keep the unsupported wing airborne as long as possible. [Figure 18-7] Once the wing contacts the surface, the pilot can anticipate a strong yaw in that direction…

  Chapter 4: Assessing Risk › Using a Risk Assessment Matrix

  runways are just long enough to accommodate the aircraft. The possibility exists for a runway overrun on each landing. Given this data, an overrun could occur sometime, and the likelihood is “occasional.” Risk Severity The following terms describe the severity ... example of the marginal runway length, an overrun could cause major damage to the aircraft and possible severe injuries, or a “critical” outcome. Using a Risk Assessment Matrix Once risk likelihood and severity have been determined, the pilot…

  Chapter 2: Aeronautical Decision-Making › The Decision-Making Process › Estimate (the Need To React)

  Detect (the Problem) Problem detection is the first step in the decision-making process. It begins with recognizing a change occurred or an expected change did not occur. A problem is perceived first by the senses and then ... determine the nature and severity of the problem. One critical error made during the decision-making process is incorrectly detecting the problem. In the previous example, the change that occurred was a yaw. Estimate (the Need To React…

  Combined Maneuvers Combined maneuvers, such as climbing or descending turns, should be avoided if at all possible by an untrained instrument pilot. Combining maneuvers only compounds the problems encountered in individual maneuvers and increases the risk of control loss ... objective is to keep the airplane under control by maintaining as much of the airplane’s natural equilibrium as possible. Deviating as little as possible from straight-and-level flight attitude makes this much easier. When being assisted…
