Study Notes
Visual Illusions in Aviation
- During takeoff, a strong wind blowing snow on the runway can create a relative movement illusion.
Converging Aircraft
- When another aircraft appears in front of you and converges with your flight path, it can create a stationary illusion, which can lead to a hazardous situation.
Emergency Landing Techniques
- If approaching the threshold with an excessive speed, touchdown as soon as possible to stop the aircraft quickly.
- After touchdown, lower the nose to reduce lift and use maximum braking to bring the aircraft to a halt.
Controlled Flight into Terrain (CFIT)
- CFIT accidents are more likely to occur during final approach when flying lower than the Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA) or Decision Height (DH).
Visibility Conditions
- A Runway Visual Range (RVR) of 1/2 mile corresponds to a visibility of 2600ft.
Takeoff Safety
- The takeoff safety speed is V2, which is the minimum speed required to climb safely in case of an engine failure.
