traffic within delegated airspace between two or more adjacent approach control facilities, designed to expedite traffic and reduce control and pilot communication requirements. TPP. See United States Terminal Procedures Publication. Track. The actual path made over the ground in flight. Tracking. Flying a heading that will maintain the desired track to or from the station regardless of crosswind conditions. Traffic Alert Collision Avoidance System (TCAS…

MOCA along the airway is 2,700 feet and MEA is 4,000 feet. The aircraft is within 22 NM of the VOR. The pilot should remain at 2,700 feet until crossing the VOR because that altitude ... minimum IFR altitude for the route segment being flown. 3. The MEA between a and b: 5,000 feet. The MEA between b and c: 5,000 feet. The MEA between c and d: 11,000 feet. The MEA between…

Exaggerated movement of the cyclic, resulting in erratic movement over the surface. Figure 9-7. To maintain a straight ground track, use two reference points in line and at some distance in front of the helicopter. Failure to use proper ... antitorque pedal control, resulting in excessive heading change. 3. Failure to maintain desired hovering height. 4. Failure to maintain proper rpm. 5. Failure to maintain alignment with direction of travel. Hovering—Sideward Flight Sideward hovering flight may be necessary…

which pilot execution is optional will so state “AT PILOT’S DISCRETION.” EXAMPLE-1. “United Four Seventeen, descend and maintain six thousand.” NOTE-1. The pilot is expected to commence descent upon receipt of the clearance and to descend ... suggested rates until reaching the assigned altitude of 6,000 feet. EXAMPLE-2. “United Four Seventeen, descend at pilot’s discretion, maintain six thousand.” NOTE-2. The pilot is authorized to conduct descent within the context of the term…

EXAMPLE-Tower: “Beechcraft One Three One Five Niner, cleared to the Chicago Midway Airport via Victor Eight, maintain eight thousand.” Aircraft: “Beechcraft One Three One Five Niner, cleared to the Chicago Midway Airport via Victor Eight, maintain eight thousand.” NOTE ... Normally, an ATC IFR clearance is relayed to a pilot by the ground controller. At busy locations, however, pilots may be instructed by the ground controller to “contact clearance delivery” on a frequency designated for this purpose. No surveillance…

decrease the angle of bank, which increases or decreases the rate of turn, to achieve the desired constant radius track over the ground. Ground reference maneuvers should always be entered from a downwind position. This allows the pilot to establish ... steepest bank angle required to maintain a constant radius ground track. If the bank is too steep, the pilot should immediately exit the maneuver and re-establish a lateral position that is further from the ground reference. The pilot should…
