Human Factors For over 30 years, the importance of good pilot judgment, or aeronautical decision-making (ADM), has been recognized as critical to the safe operation of aircraft, as well as accident avoidance. The airline industry, motivated by the need to reduce accidents caused by human factors, developed the first training program based on improving ADM. …
VOR Navigation Have you ever wondered how airplanes navigate when there are not any outside visual references to use? Well, one of the navigational aids they use is called a VOR. Developed in the United States beginning in 1937 and deployed by 1946, VOR is the standard air navigational system in the world, used by both commercial …
IFR Emergencies As instrument-rated pilots, we can fully discover all the potential the aviation world can offer us. There is always a new procedure to learn, a new departure to do, a new approach plate to brief. But this also means pilots must learn how to handle the unexpected. When everything goes south, a professional …
PVT Regulations Federal Aviation Regulations affect every aspect of flight. Private pilots must become thoroughly familiar with all the regulations affecting flying operations. This course will cover the most significant Part 61 and 91 regulations that private pilots need to know to take advantage of the privilege of flying in the sky! Course Objectives Become familiar …
Attitude Instrument Flying Flying instruments is one of the most challenging and rewarding achievements you’ll attain in aviation. Developing a good instrument scan is the foundation required to meet all the challenges that instrument procedures have to offer. It is a fundamental skill that all pilots need to learn how to master. Yet, it is …
Commercial Pilot Path Congrats, you made it. Welcome to your commercial certificate course. As you commence your training, you will realize how much you do not know yet. Commercial regulations, complex systems, and multi-engine aerodynamics are some of the subjects we will cover in this course. Before we begin this new chapter, let’s look back …
Air Traffic Control and IFR Clearances Navigating in the national airspace system under IFR requires pilots to understand the way Air Traffic Control manages traffic and the way an IFR Flight Plan is processed. This also requires pilots to understand the elements of an IFR Clearance and all the factors that come into play in …
Instrument Rating Path One of the best parts of becoming an Instrument Pilot is the availability to fly inside the clouds. The feeling is beyond description, but a pilot can even attempt to do this only if he/she masters the understanding of flight instruments, departure procedures, arrivals, and instruments approaches. The instrument flying’s fundamental has …
Multi-Engine Aerodynamics One of the most exciting parts of being a pilot is getting to fly a multi-engine aircraft. Having the possibility to fly faster and higher are some of the perks obtained from getting your multi-engine rating. However, multi-engine pilots must understand the aerodynamics related to this type of aircraft to operate them safely. …
Instrument Landing System (ILS) Most navigation systems approved for Enroute and terminal operations under IFR, such as VOR, NDB, and GPS, may also be approved to conduct instrument approach procedures. The most common system in use in the United States is the ILS. An ILS (instrument landing system) operates as a ground-based instrument approach system, using a combination …
Private Pilot Path Welcome to the world of aviation. You are about to commence on a journey of venture, exploration, and discovery. Throughout history, we have fantasized about achieving the freedom and power of flight. We have looked to the sky, marveled at the birds, and wondered what it must be like to escape the …
RNAV (Area Navigation ) Aviation is currently in a transition from ground-based navigation equipment to Global Navigation Satellite System. Nowadays, it is hard to find an airplane that doesn’t include a fully equipped GPS as part of the avionics. Instrument-rated pilots must master the GPS while performing an RNAV approach and be thoroughly familiar with all …
Complex Systems A complex airplane, by definition, is an aircraft that has retractable landing gear, a constant speed propeller, and flaps. In this course, we will explain how a hydraulic landing gear and a constant speed propeller operate. It is critical for a pilot to have a full understanding of these two systems to fly …
CAX Regulations Federal Aviation Regulations affect every aspect of flight. Commercial pilots must become thoroughly familiar with all the regulations affecting commercial operations. This course will cover the most significant Part 61 and 91 regulations that commercial pilots need to know to take advantage of the privilege of being compensated! Course Objectives Become familiar with part …
Mastering ATC Communications All pilots must ensure a strong emphasis on ATC communications; here is where a safe flight begins. Understanding the aviation terminology is key for successful training. As a student pilot, you will probably feel overwhelmed by all this information. In this course, we will guide you step by step on communicating with …
Environmental and Ice Control System Airplanes with high-altitude performance capabilities permit higher cruising speeds and allow their pilots to avoid many adverse weather situations. However, hazardous physiological conditions are likely to be encountered unless the airplane is equipped with an oxygen or pressurization system. Ice control systems further increase flight safety in the event icing …
EcFlight Trivia The Path to Success Starts with Practice. Whether you are aiming for becoming a 777 captain or starting this new chapter in your life, we can help you free of charge.
Aircraft Performance Performance is a term used to describe the ability of an aircraft to accomplish certain things that make it useful for certain purposes. For example, the ability of an aircraft to land and take off in a very short distance is an important factor to the pilot who operates in and out of …
Flight Instruments To safely fly any aircraft, a pilot must understand how to interpret and operate all the flight instruments. Also, he needs to be able to recognize any errors or malfunctions of these instruments. This course will explain the pitot-static system, gyroscopic instruments, and the magnetic compass in detail. When a pilot understands how …
Aircraft Systems Today, the Cessna 172 stands as the most popular airplane ever, with around 43,000 produced, according to Cessna’s numbers, including variants. Cessna became the craft of choice for many flight schools. In this course, we will cover all aircraft systems with a focus on a Cessna 172. As a pilot, you must become …
