  Using the PAVE Checklist to Identify Hazards As described in Chapter 1, the PAVE checklist provides a means to identify hazards using four convenient hazard “buckets.” Using all four checklist categories before a flight captures most hazards normally encountered. This ... section discusses hazards associated with each category. Pilot Hazards “P” hazards can be classified in terms of both capability and aeromedical factors as follows: 1. Qualification–Does the pilot possess the appropriate pilot certificate, category, class, and type rating needed…

  time the maneuver so the roll is stopped as the pilot returns his or her head upright. An intense disorientation is usually produced by this maneuver, and the pilot experiences the sensation of falling downward into the direction ... roll. In the descriptions of these maneuvers, the instructor pilot is doing the flying, but having the pilot do the flying can also be a very effective demonstration. The pilot should close his or her eyes and tilt their head…

  Chapter 10: IFR Flight › Wind Shear › VFR-On-Top

  Pilots operating on a VFR-on-top clearance should advise ATC before any altitude change to ensure the exchange of accurate traffic information. ATC authorization to “maintain VFR-on-top” is not intended to restrict pilots to operating only above ... areas where there is no meteorological obstruction. It is imperative pilots understand, however, that clearance to operate “VFR-on-top/VFR conditions” does not imply cancellation of the IFR flight plan. Pilots operating VFR-on-top/VFR conditions may receive…
