- Glossary › Domestic Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum
Basic maneuvers, flown by reference to the instruments rather than outside visual cues, for the purpose of practicing basic attitude flying. The patterns simulate maneuvers encountered on instrument flights such as holding patterns, procedure turns, and approaches. Flight strips. Paper ... sucked into the engine while it is running. Debris from runways or taxiways can cause foreign object damage during ground operations, and the ingestion of ice and birds can cause FOD in flight. Form drag. The drag created because…
- Chapter 5: Aerodynamics of Flight › Ground Effect
Figure 5-16. Ground effect changes airflow. Ground effect also alters the thrust required versus velocity. Since induced drag predominates at low speeds, the reduction of induced drag due to ground effect will cause a significant reduction of thrust required ... downwash, and wingtip vortices, there may be a change in position (installation) error of the airspeed system associated with ground effect. In the majority of cases, ground effect causes an increase in the local pressure at the static source…
- Chapter 16: Navigation › Ground-Based Navigation
Ground-Based Navigation Advances in navigational radio receivers installed in aircraft, the development of aeronautical charts that show the exact location of ground transmitting stations and their frequencies, along with refined flight deck instrumentation make it possible for pilots ... obtainable through the proper use of this equipment, beginning pilots should use this equipment to supplement navigation by visual reference to the ground (pilotage). This method provides the pilot with an effective safeguard against disorientation in the event of radio…
- Chapter 1: Introduction To Flying › Becoming a Pilot
aeronautical knowledge, such as the principles of flight, a student pilot is also required to gain skill in flight maneuvers. The selected category and class of aircraft determines the type of flight skills and number of flight hours ... obtained. There are four steps involved in learning a flight maneuver: • The CFI introduces and demonstrates flight maneuver to the student. • The CFI talks the student pilot through the maneuver. • The student pilot practices the maneuver under CFI supervision…

while controlling the helicopter and watching for other aircraft in the vicinity. Other examples of ground reference maneuvers are flights for photographic or observation purposes, such as pipe line or power line checks. Prior to each maneuver, a clearing turn ... drift at altitude, crab the helicopter into the wind. Rectangular Course The rectangular course is a training maneuver in which the ground track of the helicopter is kept equidistant from the sides of a selected rectangular area. While performing…
- Chapter 7: Ground Reference Maneuvers › Elementary Eights
following purposes: ⦁ Further development of the pilot’s skill in maintaining a specific relationship between the airplane and the ground references. ⦁ Improving the pilot’s ability to divide attention between the flightpath and ground-based references, manipulation of the flight ... during both turning and straight-line flight. ⦁ Developing the pilot’s skills to visualize each specific segment of the maneuver and the maneuver as a whole, prior to execution. ⦁ Developing a pilot’s ability to intuitively manipulate flight controls…
