Procedures and Operations
9 March 2005
![Page 2: Procedures and Operations 9 March 2005. Traffic Patterns Tower-controlled airports Towers provide for orderly arrival and departure to/from airports the.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051614/551a287d55034619378b5631/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Traffic Patterns
Tower-controlled airports Towers provide for orderly arrival and departure
to/from airports the tower will issue instructions for desired flight
path clearances must be received before takeoff or
landing No control tower
Pilots self-announce position and intentions on a common traffic frequency
All traffic uses a “left” traffic pattern un otherwise indicated

Traffic Patterns An organized method of arriving and departing
from airports Denoted either “left” or “right” by the direction
of the turns Left traffic
is standard

Traffic Patterns Airplanes land into the wind! Segmented circle indicates traffic pattern
direction and wind direction Wind cones, wind tees, and windsocks
indicate the direction of the wind. The large end of the wind sock points into the wind

Airport Markings Runway naming is determined by the approach
direction To find a runway number, round magnetic
heading to nearest ten and lop off a zero. If the final approach course is 267°, the runway will be runway 27. (All runway #s are 1-36)
Runways have letters when there are two or three parallel runways. In this case, they are labeled L, R, C, for left, right and center.
![Page 6: Procedures and Operations 9 March 2005. Traffic Patterns Tower-controlled airports Towers provide for orderly arrival and departure to/from airports the.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051614/551a287d55034619378b5631/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Airport Markings Threshold – beginning of a runway available for
landing of aircraft. Those runways that do not have thresholds at the
beginning of the runway have displaced thresholds.
The area between the beginning of the runway and the displaced threshold may be used for taxiing, takeoff, and landing rollout, but not for landing.
Closed runways will be marked by an “X” at either end.

Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO) Found at airports with a runway intersecting
another runway, taxiway, or other point Allows increased airport capacity Student pilots or those unfamiliar with LAHSO
should not accept a clearance PIC (duh) has final authority to accept or
decline any LAHSO clearance LAHSO distances available in the
Airport/Facilities Directory (A/FD) LAHSO clearances only issued when ceiling is
at least 1000 feet and 3 sm visibility

Airport Lighting At night – location of an airport can be
determined by a rotating beacon White and green – lighted land airport White and yellow – Lighted water airport Green yellow white – lighted heliport Military land airport – dual peaked white
then green

Airport Lighting Beacons are operated during daylight
hours if: Less than 1000 foot ceiling Visibility less than 3 miles
Runway edge lights Outline runway at night/low vis.
Radio control of lighting Available per the AF/D “Key the mike” 7, 5, or 3 times…

Visual Approach Slope Indicator (VASI) Indicates your
relationship to the glidepath
Grim mnemonic: White over white:
“You’re out of sight”
Red over white: “you’re all right”
Red over red: “you’re dead!”
![Page 11: Procedures and Operations 9 March 2005. Traffic Patterns Tower-controlled airports Towers provide for orderly arrival and departure to/from airports the.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051614/551a287d55034619378b5631/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Other approach slope indicators Tricolor VASI (rare)
Amber = too high Green = on path Red = Too low
Pulsating VASI (rare) Pulsating white =
Above glide path Steady white = On
glide path Red/pulsating red =
below glide path
Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) 4 lights More white = higher

Surface Operations Don’t let the wind flip your airplane over. Expose the top of the
control surfaces tothe wind wheneverpossible

Aeromedical Factors Hyperventilation
Deficiency of carbon dioxide Caused by extra deep breathing due to
anxiety, tension, fear Overcome by:
Breathing into a bag Talking out loud Consciously slowing breathing rate
![Page 16: Procedures and Operations 9 March 2005. Traffic Patterns Tower-controlled airports Towers provide for orderly arrival and departure to/from airports the.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051614/551a287d55034619378b5631/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Aeromedical Factors Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
CO: colorless, odorless, tasteless Symptoms:
Headache Drowsiness Dizziness
Susceptibility increases with altitude Think you have CO poisoning?
Turn off heater! Open air vents!
Don’t die.

Aeromedical Factors Spatial Disorientation
Caused by: Complex motions/apparent motions Vestibular disorientation… Visual scenes “Seat of the pants” inherently unreliable
Overcome by: Rely on your flight instruments! Ignore sensory input.

Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) Systematic method for determining
whether an individual is fit to fly for a particular flight and to help a flight be completed/continued safely
![Page 19: Procedures and Operations 9 March 2005. Traffic Patterns Tower-controlled airports Towers provide for orderly arrival and departure to/from airports the.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051614/551a287d55034619378b5631/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM)
Five hazardous attitudes / antidotes Antiauthority
“Follow the rules, they are usually right.” Impulsivity
“Not so fast. Think first.” Invulnerability
“It could happen to me.” Machismo
“Taking chances is foolish.” Resignation
“I can make a difference.”
![Page 20: Procedures and Operations 9 March 2005. Traffic Patterns Tower-controlled airports Towers provide for orderly arrival and departure to/from airports the.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051614/551a287d55034619378b5631/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Compass Errors Variation Deviation Magnetic Dip
![Page 21: Procedures and Operations 9 March 2005. Traffic Patterns Tower-controlled airports Towers provide for orderly arrival and departure to/from airports the.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051614/551a287d55034619378b5631/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Dip errors Magnetic dip:
When turning north from an easterly or westerly heading, the compass lags behind the actual aircraft heading. When a turn is initiated while on a northerly heading, the compass first indicates a turn in the opposite direction.
When turning south from an easterly or westerly heading, the compass leads the actual heading. When a turn is initiated on a southerly heading, the compass immediately leads ahead.
Mnemonic: UNOS – undershoot north, overshoot south
![Page 22: Procedures and Operations 9 March 2005. Traffic Patterns Tower-controlled airports Towers provide for orderly arrival and departure to/from airports the.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051614/551a287d55034619378b5631/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Dip errors continued Accelerating or decelerating while heading
either east or west will also cause compass errors.
When accelerating on an east or west heading, the compass indicates a turn to the north.
When decelerating on an east or west heading, the compass indicates a turn to the south.
Mnemonic: ANDS – accelerate north, decelerate south.
Compass accurate only in S&L, unaccelerated flight.
![Page 23: Procedures and Operations 9 March 2005. Traffic Patterns Tower-controlled airports Towers provide for orderly arrival and departure to/from airports the.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051614/551a287d55034619378b5631/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Variation Errors Magnetic poles do not coincide with geographic
poles. Most places on Earth, the
compass needle does notpoint to True North. Angulardifferences betweenmagnetic north and truenorth are called variationsand are displayed onaeronautical charts.
![Page 24: Procedures and Operations 9 March 2005. Traffic Patterns Tower-controlled airports Towers provide for orderly arrival and departure to/from airports the.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051614/551a287d55034619378b5631/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Deviation Errors The metal, electrical systems, and
operating engine all create magnetic fields from the aircraft.
Aircraft manufacturers install compensatory magnets to prevent most errors. Remaining errors are called deviation.
A card in the aircraft will list the deviation at various different compass points.
