Although de-icing is performed by specialized teams, pilots play a crucial oversight role. Before every winter flight, pilots inspect the aircraft for ice accumulation and confirm if de-icing has to be done or not. The pilot in command is ultimately responsible for deciding whether or not to carry out the de-icing procedure.

These maneuvers include an engine failure on takeoff, loss of lift on the wing during departure, en route, and approach, crosswind landings, wind shear scenarios, engine inoperative landings, low visibility landings, crash landings and evacuation. Finally, the pilot in command is required to have an annual line check.

When the aileron is deflected up on one side, lift is decreased on that wing. At the same time, the opposite aileron is lowered, thus increasing lift on that wing, causing the plane to roll. You were probably asked to recite from memory the V speeds of your aircraft on your private pilot checkride. For your passengers?

Pilots should be familiar with each type of cloud and what atmospheric conditions it indicates. L ooking forward at FL180, the pilot-in-command (PIC) could see what he liked to call “mushrooms” sprouting from the broken cumulus deck below him, thinking he’d be through those clouds long before they became trouble.

I remember doing exactly this during my instrument training at a very remote airport: the nearest pay phone was about a mile away from the airport ramp, so it was quite the accomplishment to lift off before my timer expired. Today there’s a better way. First, ubiquitous cell phones make it much easier to call for that clearance.

Aircraft have to be in continuous forward motion to create lift and thus possess potentially destructive kinetic energy while in motion. The ability to achieve a safe mode or safe return in a single-pilot-operated aircraft raises challenges for certification. Trains and cars can brake and stop and achieve a safe status.

The problem is, there’s more than this one limitation involved in the average flight, beyond just the perils that can be met by our piloting ability. We need to consider the full range of hazards we’re facing, and that involves more than just assessing the pilot’s ability.

When hiring pilots, requirements include a minimum of 3000 hours TT and experience in the medical field, although most applicants who join the aviation unit have closer to 5000 hours. Once hired, the company has a pilot development program in which second-in-command (SIC) pilots train to meet pilot-in-command (PIC) standards.

For example, a Cessna 150 pilot lost control of the airplane after touchdown and probably totaled the airplane: “The pilot reported that, during the landing roll, a gust of wind lifted the right wing of the airplane. The pilot advanced the throttle and the airplane lifted off the runway surface again.

Similar to the Concorde, the Tu-144 (codenamed “Charger” by NATO) had a “droop-snoot” device that would lower its nose for better visibility for the pilots in ground operations, takeoffs, and landings. The pilot in command was Tupolev’s chief test pilot Eduard Yelyan.

Well done to the PIC (Pilot-in-command)! We lifted off effortless towards the grumpy skies. I can enjoy the movie and watch the flight map at the same time. Once we started our descent, I changed the channel to the camera mode (landing gear) to enjoy this view. Let's see how good the landing is. Here we are.
