Book Description
Learn to avoid stalls and spins, the #1 cause of general aviation accidents Most pilots learn the basics of stall recovery during their private pilot training. But uncontrolled stalls and spins still plague pilots each year, resulting in unnecessary accidents and injuries. This book gives a clear and concise presentation of not only stall and spin recovery, but more importantly, stall and spin avoidance. Planned stalls or spins are rarely the cause of accidents. It's when pilots fail to notice the warning signs of an imminent unplanned stall or spin that problems occur. These mistakes are normally associated with takeoffs and landings. But accidents can be avoided if pilots learn to recognize the warning signs that indicate that a stall or spin is about to take place. This book teaches pilots to pick up on these warning signals--and discusses many of the improper piloting techniques that cause them. You'll learn how to: Avoid slipping and skidding turns that may lead to stalls and spins; Recognize and deal with a variety of stall/spin situations that require different recovery techniques; Effect spin recovery in true emergency situations; Orchestrate control imputs for spin recovery; Spot the warning signals of an imminent stall; Make the crucial distinction between a spin and a spiral; Avoid or recover from inverted and crossover spins; Avoid secondary stalls. This book gives you in-depth understanding of stall and spin situations, including many exotic spins that most pilots never encounter--but critical knowledge for those who do meet them. This information in conjunction with the ability to recognize and avoid inadvertent stalls, taught by this book, can help you be a safer, more competent pilot.

Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 185

Book Description
Learn about the latest key applied psychological methods and techniques in aviation: Expert guidance from academia and industry Based on the latest research Practice oriented More about the book This collection of chapters on the latest methods and tools for applied research in aviation psychology guides the diverse range of professionals working within aviation on how to adapt flexibly to the continuously evolving requirements of the aeronautical landscape. Experts from the industry and academia explore selected applications, ranging from aviation system engineering to bridging the gap between research and industrialization, safety culture, training and examination. Psychological tools are explored, including designing biocybernetic adaptive systems, predictive automation, and support for designing the human role in future human–machine teaming concepts. Special chapters are dedicated to spatial disorientation, reactivity, stress, eye-tracking, electrodermal and cardiac assessment under the influence of G forces. This is essential reading for aviation psychologists, human factors practitioners, engineers, designers, operational specialists, students and researchers in academia, industry, and government. The practitioners and researchers working in other safety critical domains (e.g., medicine, automotive) will also find the handbook valuable. Members of the European Association for "Aviation Psychology (EAAP) and the Austrian Aviation Psychology Association (AAPA)" will get a discount on purchase orders of the book.

Introduction to a Glider Flight Examiner Manual (FEM)

Author: Francesco Daniele Padovano
Publisher: ACCI (Asociación Cultural y Científica Iberoamericana)
ISBN: 8418476699
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 140

Book Description
Francesco Daniele Padovano is a gliding instructor with more than 15.000 flights in his experience along with training commercial pilots as a TKI at CAE. He has been one of the main instructors of the national school in Spain and holds active SPL FI-FI, Acro and TMG ratings. Among others, he has laid the foundations of the gliding training programme in Colombia and has taught in the Argentinean army in their courses dedicated to drone pilot training. He is currently developing a programme dedicated to children at risk of exclusion with a motivational programme through gliding and collaborating with various vocational schools to complement the training with gliding. He is the author of several publications in the aeronautical field: “El Manual del piloto de vuelo sin motor”, “Manual del instructor de vuelo sin motor”, “Meteorología para drones”, “Glider Flight Instructor Manual, development of the first period-basic course based on the EASA SFCL regulation of march 2020 with the introduction of competence criteria”. This book wishes to propose a standard for SPL examiners based on CBTA (Competence Training and Assessment) and related mission sheet. After the publication of the book "Glider flight instructor manual" with the introduction of the competence criteria (CBTA), this text is the natural evolution because, if a competence-based teaching system is proposed, the evaluation at examination level of the candidates for obtaining the licences and ratings, foreseen in the EASA regulation EU 2020/358, remains unresolved. Therefore, this text aims to provide a solution to the doubts that may arise for examiners when conducting an examination.

Airman Certification Standards Private Pilot Airplane

Author: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
Publisher: Ravenio Books
ISBN:
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 148

Book Description
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has published the Private Pilot-Airplane Airman Certification Standards (ACS) document to communicate the aeronautical knowledge, risk management, and flight proficiency standards for the private pilot certification in the airplane category, single-engine land and sea; and multiengine land and sea classes. This ACS incorporates and supersedes FAA-S-ACS-6, Private Pilot-Airplane Airman Certification Standards, Change 1. The FAA views the ACS as the foundation of its transition to a more integrated and systematic approach to airman certification. The ACS is part of the safety management system (SMS) framework that the FAA uses to mitigate risks associated with airman certification training and testing. Specifically, the ACS, associated guidance, and test question components of the airman certification system are constructed around the four functional components of an SMS: Safety Policy that defines and describes aeronautical knowledge, flight proficiency, and risk management as integrated components of the airman certification system; Safety Risk Management processes through which both internal and external stakeholders identify changes in regulations, safety recommendations, or other factors. These changes are then evaluated to determine whether they require modification of airman testing and training materials; Safety Assurance processes to ensure the prompt and appropriate incorporation of changes arising from new regulations and safety recommendations; and Safety Promotion in the form of ongoing engagement with both external stakeholders (e.g., the aviation training industry) and FAA policy divisions. The FAA has developed this ACS and its associated guidance in collaboration with a diverse group of aviation training experts. The goal is to drive a systematic approach to all components of the airman certification system, including knowledge test question development and conduct of the practical test. The FAA acknowledges and appreciates the many hours that these aviation experts have contributed toward this goal. This level of collaboration, a hallmark of a robust safety culture, strengthens and enhances aviation safety at every level of the airman certification system.
