Departure Procedures

Departure Procedures It all starts with a departure!… For the IFR system to work correctly, pilots must learn the standards and the structure of instrument departures. Departure procedures were designed to help simplify complex IFR departure clearances, help reduce frequency congestion, provide obstacle protection, and allow aircraft to transition to the enroute structure of an

Weather Theory

lightning, storm, weather

Weather Theory Weather is an essential topic in general aviation flight and a contributing cause of many accidents. While there is no way for us pilots to control the weather, we can modify our flight paths to prevent any hazardous weather that can be present. Understanding weather theory is critical to avoid any inadvertent encounter

Mastering Holding Patterns

Mastering Holding Patterns Holding Patterns can happen anywhere at any time on the IFR system. For this reason, when pilots need to do them, they must do them right. Probably no other procedure in instrument flying offers as much opportunity to perfection your ADM skills to think under pressure. This course will provide will all

Aerodynamics

Aerodynamics Thrust, drag, lift, and weight are forces that act upon all aircraft in flight. Understanding how these forces work and knowing how to control them with the use of power and flight controls are essential to flight. This chapter discusses the aerodynamics of flight—how design, weight, load factors, and gravity affect an aircraft during
