  • Chapter 14: Airport Operations › Collision Avoidance › Runway Incursion Avoidance

    preflight planning, before descending to land and while taxiing, as needed. • Know airport signage. • Review NOTAM for information on runway/ taxiway closures and construction areas. • Request progressive taxi instructions from ATC when unsure of the taxi route. • Check for traffic ... before crossing any runway hold line and before entering a taxiway. • Turn on aircraft lights and the rotating beacon or strobe lights while taxing. • When landing, clear the active runway as soon as possible, then wait for taxi instructions before…

    close-in obstacles, weather no less than 300 ft and 1 NM may be necessary to visually avoid obstacles. (b) Takeoff minimums obstacles are especially critical to aircraft that do not lift off until close to the departure ... runway or which climb at the minimum rate. When departing IFR using the higher than standard takeoff minimums option, pilots are responsible for visually avoiding takeoff minimums obstacles. Pilots should also consider drift following lift-off to ensure sufficient clearance…

  • Chapter 4. Air Traffic Control › Section 3. Airport Operations › 4-3-21. Exiting the Runway After Landing

    Pilots must not exit the landing runway onto another runway unless authorized by ATC. At airports with an operating control tower, pilots should not stop or reverse course on the runway without first obtaining ATC approval. b. Taxi clear ... runway unless otherwise directed by ATC. An aircraft is considered clear of the runway when all parts of the aircraft are past the runway edge and there are no restrictions to its continued movement beyond the runway holding position markings…

    Requirements and Procedures. Besides system requirements and pilot procedures as identified in subparagraph a1 above, all pilots must have completed special training before accepting a clearance to conduct a PRM approach. 1. Pilot Training Requirement. Pilots must complete special pilot ... identified in their Operations Specifications. Training includes the requirement for pilots to view the FAA training slide presentation, “Precision Runway Monitor (PRM) Pilot Procedures.” Refer to https://www.faa.gov/training_testing/training/prm/ or search key words “FAA PRM” for additional information…

  • Chapter 14: Airport Operations › Collision Avoidance › Clearing Procedures

    Clearing Procedures The following procedures and considerations are in place to assist pilots in collision avoidance under various situations: • Before takeoff—prior to taxiing onto a runway or landing area in preparation for takeoff, pilots should scan the approach area ... airspace. • Straight and level—during sustained periods of straight-and-level flight, a pilot should execute appropriate clearing procedures at periodic intervals. • Traffic patterns—entries into traffic patterns while descending should be avoided. • Traffic at VOR sites—due to converging…

    item included in the applicable ACS/ PTS. The ACS integrates risk management and safety throughout and with supplementary appendix information. PTS lists special emphasis items. Some common items include: 1. Positive aircraft control 2. Procedures for positive ... exchange of flight controls 3. Stall and spin awareness 4. Collision avoidance 5. Wake turbulence and low-level wind turbulence and wind shear avoidance 6. Runway incursion avoidance 7. Controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) 8. Aeronautical decision-making (ADM)/risk…
