- Chapter 10: Advanced Flight Maneuvers › Confined Area Operations › Approach
Fixing the departure azimuth or heading on the compass is a good technique to use. This ensures that the pilot is able to take off over the preselected departure path when it is not visible while sitting in the confined ... area. Figure 10-8. If the wind velocity is 10 knots or greater, expect updrafts on the windward side and downdrafts on the lee side of obstacles. Plan the approach with these factors in mind, but be ready to alter…

further mitigate this risk the pilot has selected mental checkpoints along the approach path that will serve as go/no-go points should the pilot feel any assessed parameter is being exceeded. Wind direction and velocity are assessed as a medium risk ... because (for this scenario) the direction of the wind is slightly offset from the chosen approach path, creating a 15–20° crosswind with a steady 10-knot wind. The pilot also takes into consideration that, due to the terrain…
- Chapter 14: Airport Operations › Wind Direction Indicators
Wind Direction Indicators It is important for a pilot to know the direction of the wind. At facilities with an operating control tower, this information is provided by ATC. Information may also be provided by FSS personnel either located ... particular airport or remotely available through a remote communication outlet (RCO), or by requesting information on a CTAF at airports that have the capacity to receive and broadcast on this frequency. When none of these services is available…

traffic is referenced by azimuth from the aircraft in terms of the 12-hour clock. Also, distance in nautical miles, direction in which the target is moving, and type and altitude of the aircraft, if known, are given. An example ... clock 5 miles east bound, Cessna 152, 3,000 feet.” The pilot should note that traffic position is based on the aircraft track and that wind correction can affect the clock position at which a pilot locates traffic. This service…
- CHAPTER 5. PART 107 SUBPART B, OPERATING RULES (SMALL UAS) › 5.9 VLOS Aircraft Operation › 5.10.1 Small Unmanned Aircraft Operations Near an Airport—Notification and Permissions
remote PIC must yield right-of-way to all other aircraft, including aircraft operating on the surface of the airport (§ 107.43). Remote PICs are prohibited from operating a small unmanned aircraft in a manner that interferes with operations and traffic ... patterns at airports, heliports, and seaplane bases (§ 107.43). Small unmanned aircraft must always yield right-of-way to a manned aircraft. A manned aircraft may alter its flightpath, delay its landing, or take off in order to avoid a small…
