- Chapter 4. Air Traffic Control › Section 3. Airport Operations › 4-3-18. Taxiing
Taxiing a. General. Approval must be obtained prior to moving an aircraft or vehicle onto the movement area during the hours an Airport Traffic Control Tower is in operation. 1. Always state your position on the airport when calling ... tower for taxi instructions. 2. The movement area is normally described in local bulletins issued by the airport manager or control tower. These bulletins may be found in FSSs, fixed base operators offices, air carrier offices, and operations offices…
- Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Takeoff and Landing Performance › Landing Performance
landing distance with altitude is approximately three and one-half percent for each 1,000 feet of altitude. Proper accounting of density altitude is necessary to accurately predict landing distance. The effect of proper landing speed is important when runway ... lengths and landing distances are critical. The landing speeds specified in the AFM/POH are generally the minimum safe speeds at which the aircraft can be landed. Any attempt to land at below the specified speed may mean that the aircraft…
- Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Taxiing › Air Taxi
Hover Taxi A hover taxi is used when operating below 25 feet above ground level (AGL). [Figure 9-9] Since hover taxi is just like forward, sideward, or rearward hovering flight, the technique to perform it is not presented here ... Taxi An air taxi is preferred when movements require greater distances within an airport or heliport boundary. [Figure 9-10] In this case, fly to the new location; however, it is expected that the helicopter will remain below 100 feet…

expected that pilots will advise ATC if a specific clearance will cause undue hazards to persons or property. b. Controllers normally limit ATC ground service and instruction to movement areas; therefore, operations from nonmovement areas are conducted at pilot discretion ... personnel must be recognized by the pilot, and action should be taken as necessary to avoid such hazards. Taxi, hover taxi, and air taxi operations are considered to be ground movements. Helicopters conducting such operations are expected to adhere…
- Chapter 11: Helicopter Emergencies and Hazards › Dynamic Rollover › Slope Takeoffs and Landings
Slope Takeoffs and Landings During slope operations, excessive application of cyclic control into the slope, together with excessive collective pitch control, can result in the downslope skid or landing wheel rising sufficiently to exceed lateral cyclic control limits ... down on the upslope skid or wheel, then slowly lower the downslope skid or wheel using combined movements of cyclic and collective. If the helicopter rolls approximately 5–8° to the upslope side, decrease collective to correct the bank angle…
- Chapter 4. Air Traffic Control › Section 3. Airport Operations › 4-3-21. Exiting the Runway After Landing
Pilots must not exit the landing runway onto another runway unless authorized by ATC. At airports with an operating control tower, pilots should not stop or reverse course on the runway without first obtaining ATC approval. b. Taxi clear ... continued movement beyond the runway holding position markings. In the absence of ATC instructions, the pilot is expected to taxi clear of the landing runway by taxiing beyond the runway holding position markings associated with the landing runway, even…
