- Chapter 6: Assessment › Scenario-Based Training
FITS program emphasizes combining traditional task and maneuver training with Scenario Based Training (SBT) to teach the advanced pilot judgment and risk management skills required in the SRM environment. In many respects, scenario-based training is not a new concept ... Experienced flight instructors have been using scenarios to teach cross country operations, emergency procedures, and other flight skills for years. Scenario-based training puts the learner pilot into the normal cross-country environment much earlier than traditional flight training programs…
- Chapter 16: Navigation › Distance D = GS X T › Fuel Consumption
with reciprocating engines, the Aircraft Flight Manual/Pilot’s Operating Handbook (AFM/POH) supplied by the aircraft manufacturer provides gallons-per-hour values to assist with preflight planning. When planning a flight, you must determine how much fuel is needed to reach ... your destination by calculating the distance the aircraft can travel (with winds considered) at a known rate of fuel consumption (gal/hr or lbs/hr) for the expected groundspeed (GS) and ensure this amount, plus an adequate reserve, is available on board…
- Chapter 7: Planning Instructional Activity › Scenario-Based Training (SBT) › SBT Lesson Plan
based on the concept of situated cognition, which is the idea that knowledge cannot be known and fully understood independent of its context. In other words, humans learn better from realistic situations where they are counted on to perform ... example, realistic cross-country flight scenarios planned and executed by the pilot in training with assistance from the flight instructor begin the early development of flight deck management skills, situational awareness, and ADM. Continued engagement by the learner…
- Chapter 2: En Route Operations › Fuel State Awareness
Fuel State Awareness In order to increase fuel state awareness, pilots are required to monitor the time and fuel remaining during an IFR flight. For example, on a flight scheduled for one hour or less, the flight crew may record ... time and fuel remaining at the top of climb (TOC) and at one additional waypoint listed in the flight plan. Generally, TOC is used in aircraft with an FMS, and represents the point at which cruise altitude is first reached…
- Chapter 5: The Teaching Process › Preparation of a Lesson › Decision-Based Objectives
Decision-Based Objectives The design and use of decision-based objectives specifically develops pilot judgment and ADM skills. Improper pilot decisions cause a significant percentage of all accidents, and the majority of fatal accidents in aircraft. Decision-based objectives facilitate ... higher level of learning and application. By using dynamic and meaningful scenarios, the instructor teaches the learner how to gather information and make informed, safe, and timely decisions. Decision-based training is not a new concept. Experienced instructors have been…
- Chapter 2: Engine Fuel & Fuel Metering Systems › Fuel Metering Devices for Reciprocating Engines › Air-Fuel Mixtures
Internal cylinder cooling is obtained from unused fuel when air-fuel ratios above 0.067 are used. The same function is performed by excess air when air-fuel ratios below 0.067 are used. Varying the mixture strength of the charge produces ... changes in the engine operating condition affecting power, temperature, and spark-timing requirements. The best power air-fuel ratio is desirable when the greatest power from a given airflow is required. The best economy mixture results from obtaining the given…
