Study Notes
Aircraft Manuals
- AOM (Aircraft Owner Manual) developed by the aircraft manufacturer, not FAA approved, not kept current.
- AFM (Airplane Flight Manual) is FAA approved, includes operating procedures and limitations, specific to make and model.
Regulations and Compliance
- CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) contains federal aviation standards.
- FAR (Federal Aviation Regulations) are specific regulations by the FAA for air carriers, part of Title 48 of the CFR.
- 14 CFR Part 91 mandates pilots adhere to AFM and operational limitations.
Pilot Resources and Requirements
- POH (Pilot's Operating Handbook) offers essential operational guidance.
- ARROW acronym outlines required documents on aircraft: Airworthiness certificate, Radio station license, Registration certificate, Operating limitations, Weight and balance data.
Aircraft Structure and Performance
- Airframe refers to the basic structural components of the plane excluding instruments and powerplant.
- POH General Section 1 includes critical dimensions: wingspan, max height, length, and key airframe performance metrics.
- POH Limitations Section 2 identifies operational limitations for safety: airspeeds, powerplant specifics, weight, and loading distribution.
Instruments and Indicators
-
ASI (Airspeed Indicator) displays airspeed with color-coded speed bands:
- Red line indicates never exceed speed (Vne).
- Yellow arc defines caution range.
- Green arc shows normal operating speeds.
- White arc outlines flap operating range with limits.
-
Manifold Pressure Gauge measures absolute pressure in the fuel/air mixture intake manifold, essential for engine performance.
Speed Definitions
- KIAS (Knots Indicated Airspeed) is the airspeed reading displayed on the indicator in knots.
- Calibrated Airspeed is the indicated airspeed adjusted for instrument and installation errors.
- True Airspeed accounts for temperature and atmospheric pressure variations, providing an accurate measure for flight performance.
Emergency and Procedural Guidelines
- Emergency Procedures consist of checklists for critical situations, including engine failure, fire, and system malfunctions.
- Abnormal Procedures deal with non-emergency malfunctions that require attention.
- Normal Procedures encompass systematic flight operations, including preflight checks, engine start, taxiing, takeoff, and landing operations.
