  Chapter 7: Ground Reference Maneuvers › Maneuvering by Reference to Ground Objects

  ground. Not all ground-based references are visually equal. Awareness of typical visual illusions helps a pilot select appropriate references. For example, larger objects or references may appear closer than they actually are when compared to smaller objects or references ... maneuver will be performed, emergency landing requirements, density of structures, wind direction, visibility, and the type of airspace when selecting a ground-based reference…

  Chapter 16: Transition to Jet-Powered Airplanes › Pilot Sensations in Jet Flying

  however, selecting idle reverse produces very little reverse thrust. In a jet airplane, the pilot should select reverse, apply reverse thrust as appropriate, and remain within any AFM limitations. It is essential that pilots understand not only the normal procedures…

  Chapter 7: Ground Reference Maneuvers › Turns Around a Point

  pilot should enter the maneuver downwind, where the groundspeed is at its fastest, at the appropriate radius of turn and distance from the selected ground-based reference point. In a high-wing airplane, the lowered wing may block the view…

  Chapter 7: Automation & Flight Path Management › Balancing Automated & Manual Flight

  Terminal Information Service (ATIS), retrieve and load an instrument approach procedure, prepare for the instrument approach, and accomplish the appropriate checklists. These tasks will increase workload and divert pilot attention from monitoring and controlling the flight path. If using ... approach clearance. ATC provides vectors and tells the pilot to expect to hold. In this situation, the pilot may select basic autopilot modes that control heading and altitude in order to comply with the assignment from ATC. The lower level…

  Chapter 5: Maintaining Aircraft Control: Upset Prevention and Recovery Training › Slow Flight

  regime, where there is a degraded response to control inputs and where it is more difficult to maintain a selected altitude. It is essential that pilots: 1. understand the aerodynamics associated with slow flight in various aircraft configurations and attitudes ... flight conditions, 3. smoothly manage coordinated flight control inputs while maneuvering without a stall warning, and 4. make prompt appropriate correction should a stall warning occur. For pilot training and testing purposes, slow flight includes two main elements…
