- Chapter 7, Section I: Airplane Basic Flight Maneuvers › Pitch › Common Errors in Straight-and-Level Flight
overcontrolling is the anticipated error, practice small corrections and find the cause of overcontrolling. If any deviation is tolerated, errors increase. 6. Chasing the vertical speed indications. This tendency can be corrected by proper cross-check of other pitch instruments ... corrections for the altimeter evaluation. Rushing a pitch correction by making a large pitch change usually aggravates the existing error, saving neither time nor effort. 8. Failure to maintain established pitch corrections, a common error associated with cross-check…
- Chapter 7, Section II: Airplane Basic Flight Maneuvers › Common Errors › Turns to Predetermined Headings
Another error normally encountered during standard rate turns is inefficient or lack of adequate cross-checking. Pilots need to establish an aggressive cross-check in order to detect and eliminate all deviations from altitude, airspeed, and bank angle during ... maneuver. 3. Fixation is a major error associated with attitude instrument flying in general. Pilots training for their instrument rating tend to focus on what they perceive to be the most important task at hand and abandon their cross-check…
- Chapter 7, Section I: Airplane Basic Flight Maneuvers › Unusual Attitudes and Recoveries › Common Errors in Unusual Attitudes
Common Errors in Unusual Attitudes Common errors associated with unusual attitudes include the following faults: 1. Failure to keep the airplane properly trimmed. A flight deck interruption when holding pressures can easily lead to inadvertent entry into unusual attitudes ... Human Factors, indicates the importance of trusting the instruments. 5. Failure to practice basic instrument skills. All of the errors noted in connection with basic instrument skills are aggravated during unusual attitude recoveries until the elementary skills have been mastered…
- Chapter 7, Section II: Airplane Basic Flight Maneuvers › Straight-and-Level Flight › Pitch
Anticipating heading changes with premature application of rudder pressure. 7. Failure to correct small heading deviations. Unless zero error in heading is the goal, a pilot will tolerate larger and larger deviations. Correction of a 1 degree error takes ... less time and concentration than correction of a 20° error. 8. Correcting with improper bank attitude. If correcting a 10° heading error with a 20° bank correction, the aircraft will roll past the desired heading before the bank is established…
- Chapter 10: Performance Maneuvers › Introduction
Introduction Basic flight maneuvers taught to pilots include: straight-and-level, turns, climbs, and descents. As training advances, other performance maneuvers serve to further develop piloting skills. Performance maneuvers enhance a pilot’s proficiency in flight control application, maneuver planning ... situational awareness, and division of attention. To further that intent, performance maneuver design allows for the application of flight control pressures, attitudes, airspeeds, and orientations that constantly change throughout the maneuver. Deficiencies during execution of performance maneuvers often occur when…
- Chapter 5. Air Traffic Procedures › Section 4. Arrival Procedures › 5-4-27. Overhead Approach Maneuver
Overhead Approach Maneuver a. Pilots operating in accordance with an IFR flight plan in Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC) may request ATC authorization for an overhead maneuver. An overhead maneuver is not an instrument approach procedure. Overhead maneuver patterns are developed ... airports where aircraft have an operational need to conduct the maneuver. An aircraft conducting an overhead maneuver is considered to be VFR and the IFR flight plan is canceled when the aircraft reaches the initial point on the initial approach…
