Special Emphasis Areas Flashcards
Describe Positive Aircraft Control
- Wings Level
- Safe Operating Altitudes
- Safe Distance From Obstacles
- Managing Airspeed
- Energy Management
- Stall/ Spin Awareness
- Being In Front of the Airplane
- Overall Positive Control
Procedure For Positive Exchange of Flight Controls
3 part exchange
- You have the flight controls
- I have the flight controls
- You have the flight controls
Stall/ Spin Awareness
-Usually occurs on base/ final turn.
-Both wings stalled to spin
-More drag on one wing starts the spin
Stalls usually happen when slow, but can happen at any speed by exceeding the critical angle of attack – Or the angle that the relative wind meets the wing.
Spin Recovery
P.A.R.E. Power to idle Ailerons neutral Rudder opposite rotation Elevator forward to break the stall
Collision Avoidance
- Regular 10 degree increment scans outside of the airplane for relative movement
- Proper traffic pattern altitude, watching for traffic
Taxi- Continuous scan outside of the airplane. No adjustments made while moving. Monitor CTAF for traffic movement
Wake Turbulence and Wind Shear Avoidance
Wake turbulence created from planes that are heavy, clean, and slow
-High pressure from the bottom of the wings blends to low pressure on top and creates a vortice
Stay above glide path on landing, land after larger plane. Rotate before larger plane, stay above their path, and/ or side step their departure.
2 minute wake separation
What is CFIT
Controlled flight into terrain. Flying a perfectly good airplane into something. Use the charts to stay 1000 ft above minimum altitudes and away from obstacles. Stay out of IMC and clouds.
4 Types of Hypoxia
Hypoxic, Hypemic, Stagnant, Histoxic
ADM/ Risk Management – Checklists
IMSAFE (Illness, Medication, Stress, Alcohol, Fatigue, Eating)
PAVE- Pilot, Aircraft, Environment, External Pressures
5 Hazardous Attitudes
Anti-Authority Macho Resignation Impulsivity Invulnerability
Checklists- Phases of flight
Preflight Start up Run up Takeoff Cruise Approach/ Landing After Landing Shut Down
Spacial Disorientation
Losing track of the horizon
Trust the instruments - use them to correct your flight path. Attitude indicator, turn coordinator, compass, altimeter
Slow movements, and trust the instruments
Special Use Airspaces
MOA - Can fly through
Controlled Firing Areas - Can fly over
Prohibited - Cant fly through
Restricted- Can fly through but
discouraged
Alert Areas - High amount of traffic/
training, parachutes, gliders
Warning Area- 3 miles from coast- training
area
NSA- Safety and Security, better to avoid
TFR- VIP movementAviation Security
- Take your keys
- Report suspicious people
- Check your gate closures
4 Stages of a spin
Entering, Incipient, Developed, Recovery
