ATPL - Airline Transport Pilot

  Stall Procedure: Entry: HASEL Check Carb heat on Reduce power Maintain altitude Set flaps as desired Observe symptoms of approaching stall Just before stall, apply full back pressure Recovery Release back pressure / lower the nose (slightly below cruise attitude) Apply full power Carb heat off  Correct wing drop with opposite rudder Flaps up in stages Recover to cruise attitude Avoidance Lower the angle of attack (reduce back pressure/lower the nose) Apply full power (control yaw) Return to desired attitude/altitude

 Landing: Remember to pick a spot on the windshield and keep it in place!  VSI 60 all the way down and in the flare transition to looking down the runway!  Then landings will improve. Landing on 'second stripe', this is just behind the larger more obvious bars and should be achieved by aiming at the numbers flying at 60kts. Forced landings: use 500 as a rule of thumb, it will generally be high so try to nail that number and side slip. This means 500 for downwind, 500 for base and 500 to land, so on a 1500 ft target you start at 3000 ft. IMPORTANT: Pick key points, they should be about 1/2 - 1 runway length away from the runway you choose.  Use your chosen runway as a relative length marker to pick those spots. 360º method: 1400, 800, 500 are the AGL heights for the 360º method. 1400 over the field 800 1/2 way around the turn 500 3/4 way around to land. At 500 ft. Per minute descent It should take 1 minute for each leg. Beware of headwinds though.

NDB-ADF ADF time / dist formula:      Time in seconds for bearing change / Degrees of bearing change = time to station in minutes Can tune into AM radio ADF Bearing / turning formulas: MH = magnetic heading of aircraft RB = Relative bearing of NDB / VOR from aircraft (always turning right?) MBto  = MH + RB MBfrom = MBto +- 180 ADFs point to thunderstorms ADFs are circle / line antennas, now are a teardrop ADF leads / lags in a turn VOR Is the phase difference between two signals, think of a strobe light and a beacon 108.1 - 117.95 Interference free, mostly Interference can be caused by FM, cell phones, calculators 1.23 * sqrt(height AGL) = reception distance in nm you can recieve VOR signals Accurate up to 50nm Antenna is V on tail Receiver has OBS on it. Must be set by indicator. Testing 2 VOR's, must be within 4º of each other when set to same radial. Testing 1 VOR - done over landmark, must be within 6º, must be on a published radial to test. Turn towards radial t...

While the propeller is removed, it shall also be checked for correct dimensions.  Tachometers - annually The accuracy of mechanical drag cup type tachometers, for fixed wing propeller driven aircraft, shall be checked on site annually Weight and Balance - five years Except as provided for in an approved fleet empty weight and balance control program, all large aircraft shall be rewe...

Notam: A notice to airmen (NOTAM) is a memo that informs pilots of important updates and potential hazards to note for a specific flight – anything from nearby construction cranes to rocket launches.
