required by the ATC facility having jurisdiction over the Class E airspace area, each pilot operating an aircraft on or in the vicinity of an airport in a Class E airspace area must comply with the requirements of Class ... established for that airport in 14 CFR part 93. Unless otherwise authorized or required by ATC, no person may operate an aircraft to, from, through, or on an airport having an operational control tower unless two-way radio communications…

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…

Airspace, Air Traffic Control, and Other Aircraft Airspace requirements and ATC services facilitate safe and efficient operations. However, under some circumstances, their presence or absence constitutes a “V” hazard. • Prohibited and Restricted Airspace–Different airspace designations and restrictions are meant ... protect pilots and aircraft from hazards. For example, entering a prohibited or restricted area without permission can result in conflicts with military aircraft. • ATC Delays and Service Availability–The ATC system may require route changes or holding, which may require…

performance may not allow for a safe departure. In situations where a climb could avoid a weather or terrain hazard, the lack of performance might contribute to an incident or accident. • Payload–Does an aircraft have the capability to carry ... passengers, baggage, cargo, and fuel for a planned flight? In addition, operating near maximum takeoff weight reduces climb performance. • Weight and Balance–Pilots who do not check center of gravity limits may experience difficulty trimming or controlling the aircraft, which…
- Chapter 3: Identifying Hazards & Associated Risks › Leading Accident Causes › Identifying Hazards
Identifying Hazards There are several ways pilots can detect hazards. Pilots should use combinations of methods to detect hazards, including the following: • Visual Observation–A pilot’s observations provide a primary means to identify hazards. For example, a pilot ... safe distance from them. A pilot who can see terrain can maneuver to avoid it. • Preflight Planning–Many hazards can be detected through preflight planning. Weather briefings identify hazards. Aircraft performance calculations, preflight inspections, and other routine procedures may identify…
