It’s important for pilots to understand the operating requirements and restrictions regarding Special Use airspace (SUA).  Pilots can request the status of SUA by contacting the using or controlling agency. Warning Areas Warning Areas are similiar to Restricted areas and is designed to warn pilots of potential danger.

Mastering the six-pack is essential for safe and effective piloting. Pilots must therefore constantly crosscheck gyroscopic instruments, and their indications must be adjusted accordingly. The AI provides the pilot with information on the aircrafts bank angle and pitch angle in relation to the horizon.

What NTSB Reports Say About Impossible Turns and Angle of Attack—Part 2: Analysis, Questions Raised, and Next Steps The current emphasis in general aviation (GA) safety is on visual angle of attack (AOA) indicators and impossible turns (return to the airport following engine failure). That return did not make it to the airport.

It’s the responsibility of the pilot-in-command (PIC) to confirm that the inspections have been performed and the aircraft airworthy before conducting a flight. There are several ways the VOR can be tested for accuracy of operation, and the results can be performed and logged in an aircraft log by the pilot.

A lot was going on there, including the ubiquitous Young Eagle flights, charcoal-grilled processed meat eating, and the usual group of builders/pilots pondering the latest group aircraft project. Sure, I said; back in the day, young pilots like me operated under very little supervision.

Like many local GA airports, we have a group of pilots (mostly older, retired aircraft owners) who congregate most days in one hangar or another. Somebody once said that there are two things that pilots hate; the way things are and change.) Other logbook entries weave a story of the experiences only general aviation can bring.

Pilots must meet equipment and certification requirements and have ATC clearance to enter. Keeping jet traffic safe alongside slower general aviation aircraft is harder still. If flying under IFR, you’ll need a VOR or TACAN receiver, or an RNAV system (GPS). Managing so many aircraft is challenging.

Our committee encourages club pilots to expand their horizons by venturing beyond the local area. To provide student pilots an opportunity to experience real world general aviation flying outside of the training environment and introduce them to what they can do once they have earned their pilot certificates.

Among General Aviation pilots, there was great fear that private aircraft would be permanently barred from controlled airspace, particularly around the epicenters of those attacks in New York City and Washington DC. This hardly seems equitable, but is a reality that pilots have borne for many years. ounce toiletries.

I’m not Lindbergh… This trip was ambitious for me, but quite common in the general aviation community. Pilots who regularly operate at high elevation airports are (or should be) familiar with planning this type of flying. The “Six” can seat 6 (pilot + 5 passengers) in a 2-2-2 seating configuration.

Maybe this is due to the slide rule and drafting table generation that designed them. appeared first on Plane & Pilot Magazine.

Learn the Phonetic Alphabet Pilots and controllers use the phonetic alphabet to communicate clearly. You can listen in on real exchanges between ATC and pilots.

My filed route to Ogdensburg was via YOW (the Ottawa VOR) and IKLAX. I spotted a few traffic targets as they were called out to me, which was easy because they were airliners and quite a bit larger than the average General Aviation aircraft. Some pilots do." Though completely unintentional, I liked the effect and kept it.

Located directly on the Hudson River roughly thirty miles north of New York City, Sleepy Hollow is easily accessed by General Aviation and seven Williamson Flying Club members planned a Halloween pilgrimage there to follow the trail of the Headless Horseman. The airport as a whole most certainly did not cater to our pilot demographic.
