Study Notes
Airmanship
- Airmanship is the study of rules and regulations to ensure safety and proper discipline in flying.
- It includes all air traffic control procedures and other actions laid down to deal with any type of aircraft emergencies and contingencies.
Importance of Airmanship
- Airmanship helps to inculcate a sense of discipline amongst pilots and other crew members.
- It helps pilots to know standard procedures laid down for the airfield on which they are operating.
- It helps pilots to know procedures to be followed in emergency situations.
- Airmanship promotes flight safety and prevents aircraft accidents.
- Good airmanship ensures a pilot is at their best when the situation is at its worst.
Basic Terminologies
- Aerodrome: A defined area on land or water, including any buildings, installations, and equipment, intended to be used for the arrival, departure, and movement of aircraft.
- Aerodrome Reference Point (ARP): A designated geographical location of an aerodrome, normally taken as the geometrical centre of the runway.
- Air Report: A report passed during the course of a flight, in conformity with requirements for position, operational, or meteorological reporting in the AIREP or POMAR forms.
- Air Route: The navigable airspace between two points, identified to the extent necessary for the application of flight rules.
- Air Traffic Control Centre: An organisation established to provide air traffic control services, flight information services, and alerting services.
- Air Traffic Control Services: A service provided for the purpose of preventing collisions between aircraft in the air, and on the manoeuvring area between aircraft and obstructions.
- Heading: The direction in which the longitudinal axis of an aircraft is pointed, usually expressed in degrees from North (magnetic).
- Height: The vertical distance of a level, a point, or an object considered as a point, measured from a specified datum.
- Load Classification Number (LCN): The bearing strength of a pavement or runway, defined by a number, associated with an indication of the characteristics and type of construction of the pavement.
Air Traffic Control and Airfield Layout
- Prohibited Area: Airspace of defined dimensions, above the land areas or territorial waters of a State, within which the flight of aircraft is prohibited.
- Restricted Area: Airspace of defined dimensions, above the land areas or territorial waters of a State, within which the flight of aircraft is restricted in accordance with specified conditions.
- QFE: Aerodrome pressure corrected for temperature, when set on the altimeter on the ground, the altimeter should read zero.
- Transition Altitude (TA): The altitude in the vicinity of an aerodrome at or below which the vertical position of an aircraft is controlled by reference to altitudes above mean sea level or height above the aerodrome, depending on whether QNH or QFE is set on the altimeter.
- Transition Layer: The airspace between the transition altitude and the transition level, the depth of the layer will normally be insignificant, and will in any case never exceed 500 ft.
- Transition Level: The lowest flight level above the transition altitude, it will vary in accordance with the relationship between the QNE and the standard pressure datum.
- Visibility: The ability, as determined by atmospheric conditions and expressed in units of distance, to see and identify prominent lighted objects by night.
- QNH: Aerodrome pressure corrected for temperature and adjusted to Mean Sea Level, using the ICAO formula, when set on the altimeter on the ground, the altimeter should read aerodrome elevation.
Radio Telephony Procedures and Phraseology
- Air Traffic Service Units: Approach Control Office, Aerodrome Control Tower, and others.
- Letters to be identified: International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) phonetic alphabet, which is used to clearly communicate letters and words over radio communication.
- Pronunciation of Numbers: The correct pronunciation of numbers from 0 to 9, used in radio communication.
