Sample Problem 2 Refer to Figure 11-23. This chart is an example of a combined takeoff distance graph. It takes into consideration pressure altitude, temperature, weight, wind, and obstacles all on one chart. First, find the correct temperature ... bottom left side of the graph. Follow the line from 22 °C straight up until it intersects the 2,000 foot altitude line. From that point, draw a line straight across to the first dark reference line. Continue to draw…

Sample Problem 12 Using the given conditions and Figure 11-33, determine the landing distance for the aircraft. This graph is an example of 1. Decrease the distances shown by 10% for each 4 knots of headwind. 2. Increase ... distance by 10% for each 60 °F temperature increase above standard. 3. For operation on a dry, grass runway, increase distances (both “ground roll” and “total to clear 50 ft obstacle”) by 20% of the “total to clear…

attempt any of these maneuvers at low altitudes or in the absence of an instructor pilot or an appropriate safety pilot. Climbing While Accelerating With the pilot’s eyes closed, the instructor pilot maintains approach airspeed in a straight ... several seconds, then accelerates while maintaining straight-and-level attitude. The usual illusion during this maneuver, without visual references, is that the aircraft is climbing. Climbing While Turning With the pilot’s eyes still closed and the aircraft…

increase of landing speed by ten percent increases the landing distance by 20 percent. Hydroplaning makes braking ineffective until a decrease of speed that can be determined by using Figure 11-18. For instance, a pilot is downwind for runway ... knots. The pilot accepts because he or she is approaching the extended centerline of runway 27. The turn is tight and the pilot must descend (dive) to get to runway 27. After becoming aligned with the runway…

alert for the coriolis illusion. Graveyard Spiral As in other illusions, a pilot in a prolonged coordinated, constant-rate turn may experience the illusion of not turning. During the recovery to level flight, the pilot will then experience the sensation ... turning in the opposite direction causing the disoriented pilot to return the aircraft to its original turn. Because an aircraft tends to lose altitude in turns unless the pilot compensates for the loss in lift, the pilot may notice…
- Chapter 16: Navigation › Angle of Intercept › Distance Measuring Equipment (DME)
Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) Distance measuring equipment (DME) consists of an ultra high frequency (UHF) navigational aid with VOR/DMEs and VORTACs. It measures, in NM, the slant range distance of an aircraft from a VOR/DME or VORTAC (both hereafter referred ... VORTAC). Although DME equipment is very popular, not all aircraft are DME equipped. To utilize DME, the pilot should select, tune, and identify a VORTAC, as previously described. The DME receiver, utilizing what is called a “paired frequency” concept, automatically…
