The data also showed that the speedbrakes deployed simultaneously with the thrust reversers, as the nosewheel bounced a second time before making a third contact with the runway. Flight data recordings revealed that control column inputs varied between 5 degrees nose high and 5 degrees nose low during the landing sequence.

750 hours for current or former US military pilots. You can be a pilot in command (PIC) with an ATP certificate, while you can only act as a co-pilot with a Restricted ATP certificate. Heres a brief overview: 1,250 hours for associates degree holders. 1,000 hours for bachelors degree holders. Good question.

As the pilot in command, it is your job to minimize the loss of altitude and recovery as soon as practicable. It’s mainly due to the effects of thrust and the high-energy slipstream from the propeller preventing boundary separation. Adjust the throttle and mixture to cruise settings once the aircraft is in a clean configuration.

It was also destroying the propellers air foils causing a loss of thrust. Besides, we were still operating under a declared emergency which allows the pilot in command to do anything necessary to mitigate the danger he or she is facing. The pilot in command must intuitively know when to do it by the book…and when to dance.

Yaw dampers are turned off at landing and takeoff so that the pilot is able to positively identify a malfunctioning engine. If the yaw damper is still active when an engine fails on takeoff or landing, itll automatically compensate for the yaw caused by the engines lack of thrust. What Is Aileron Trim?

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. Probably not without some practice.

Seems the accident helicopter was the subject of a FAA Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR), which specified academic, flight training, qualification, and currency requirements for pilots acting as pilot-in-command. Post-almost-flight investigation proved embarrassing. The FA was apparently qualified to serve mimosas.
