  Flight Mode 2 Flight Mode 3 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Category 2 Required Components Category 3 Required Components SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Selection of the FLIGHT MODE The [small unmanned aircraft make and model] is programmed with three (3) flight modes. The flight mode ... selected via the Flight Mode Control Selection Switch located just above the left-hand control stick. IMPORTANT: Selection of the flight mode determines the category of operations that the [small unmanned aircraft make and model] may conduct over people…

  Inflight Emergency A remote pilot is responsible for the safe operation of the small UA at all times. A remote pilot must ensure that the aircraft is in a safe operating condition before flight, that there is not any hazard ... persons or property, and that all required crew members are properly briefed on the operation and emergency procedures. Before every flight, a remote pilot will conduct a preflight inspection of the aircraft. If any irregularities’ are found in the inspection…

  Flight Emergency. An in-flight emergency is an unexpected and unforeseen serious occurrence or situation that requires urgent, prompt action. In the case of an in-flight emergency, the remote PIC is permitted to deviate from any rule of part ... extent necessary to respond to that emergency. A remote PIC who exercises this emergency power is required, upon the FAA’s request, to send a written report to the FAA explaining the deviation. Emergency action should be taken in such…

  Chapter 14: Airport Operations › Collision Avoidance › Pilot Deviations (PDs)

  Pilot Deviations (PDs) A pilot deviation (PD) is an action of a pilot that violates any Federal Aviation Regulation. While PDs should be avoided, the regulations do authorize deviations from a clearance in response to a traffic alert and collision ... avoidance system resolution advisory. You must notify ATC as soon as possible following a deviation. Pilot deviations can occur in several different ways. Airborne deviations result when a pilot strays from an assigned heading or altitude or from an instrument…

  Flight Control Systems Flight Controls Aircraft flight control systems consist of primary and secondary systems. The ailerons, elevator (or stabilator), and rudder constitute the primary control system and are required to control an aircraft safely during flight. Wing flaps, leading ... control system and improve the performance characteristics of the airplane or relieve the pilot of excessive control forces. Primary Flight Controls Aircraft control systems are carefully designed to provide adequate responsiveness to control inputs while allowing a natural feel…

  Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Performance › Straight-and-Level Flight

  Straight-and-Level Flight All of the principal components of flight performance involve steady-state flight conditions and equilibrium of the aircraft. For the aircraft to remain in steady, level flight, equilibrium must be obtained by a lift equal ... aircraft weight and a powerplant thrust equal to the aircraft drag. Thus, the aircraft drag defines the thrust required to maintain steady, level flight. As presented in Chapter 4, Aerodynamics of Flight, all parts of an aircraft contribute…
