Pilot\u27s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, 2016

The Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge provides basic knowledge that is essential for pilots. This handbook introduces pilots to the broad spectrum of knowledge that will be needed as they progress in their pilot training. Except for the Code of Federal Regulations pertinent to civil aviation, most of the knowledge areas applicable to pilot certification are presented. The Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge provides basic knowledge for the student pilot learning to fly, as well as pilots seeking advanced pilot certification. For detailed information on a variety of specialized flight topics, see specific Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) handbooks and Advisory Circulars (ACs). Occasionally the word “must” or similar language is used where the desired action is deemed critical. The use of such language is not intended to add to, interpret, or relieve a duty imposed by Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR). It is essential for persons using this handbook to become familiar with and apply the pertinent parts of 14 CFR and the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM). The AIM is available online at www.faa.gov. The current Flight Standards Service airman training and testing material and learning statements for all airman certificates and ratings can be obtained from https://www.faa.gov

Principal Findings: Survey on FAA-Sponsored Safety Seminars

Results for the total population of airmen are summarized below. Analyses also showed that there were differences by type of certificate held. Differences based on other demographics also appear to be related to type of certificate. For example, differences based on number of career hours flown are linked to the fact that 94% of Airline Transport Pilots reported having over 3,000 career hours of flying time compared to 31% of Commercial Pilots and 5% of Private Pilots

Human Factors Engineering Requirements

This standard establishes and defines the requirements for applying human factors engineering to the design, development, and acquisition of systems, equipment, and facilities. These requirements include the work to be accomplished in conducting a human factors engineering effort integrated with the total system engineering and development effort. Compliance with this standard will help reach the following goals: a. The system design reflects appropriate consideration of the human component in the context of the task being performed. b. The personnel--\u2010hardware--\u2010software combination meets system performance goals through proper design of hardware, software, and environment. c. The design features will not constitute a hazard to personnel. The system design will neither contribute to nor induce human error during system operations and maintenance. e. The systems will be easy--\u2010to--\u2010use, preventing errors, supporting recovery from errors, and reducing task completion time. f . The procedures for operating and maintaining systems are efficient, reliable, and safe. g. The layout of the facility and the arrangement of equipment provide adequate access to workspace personnel and promote effective communication among team members

Runway Incursion Mitigation Fiscal Year 2022 Annual Summary Report

In fiscal year (FY) 2012, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Office of Airports (ARP) initiated a research study to identify and geographically locate areas at airports with nonstandard taxiway geometry. This research was advanced because an earlier study (Legarreta, 2012) had shown nonstandard taxiway geometries to be associated with a higher prevalence of runway incursions. The FAA defines a runway incursion (RI) as \u201cany occurrence at an aerodrome involving the incorrect presence of an aircraft, vehicle, or person on the protected area of a surface designated for the landing and takeoff of aircraft.\u201d These occurrences include wrong runway landings and takeoffs

A State of Charge Analysis of Lithium-ion Cells Shipped via Air

A thermal event involving a package containing lithium-ion pouch cells occurred within a sorting facility of an all-cargo airline in December 2022. This package had been previously shipped via air and was being handled for delivery to its next destination. Following the incident, the package was sent to the William J. Hughes Technical Center for further evaluation using battery analysis equipment to determine the as-delivered state of charge (SOC) of the cells

Enough Fluff: Returning to Meaningful Perspectives on Automation

This manuscript, produced by a Department of Transportation employee, was submitted for publication to the 41st Digital Avionics Systems Conference, September 18-22, 2022, Portsmouth, VA.As society progresses towards increased automation in aviation\u2014such as with Advanced Air Mobility and Unmanned Aircraft Systems\u2014it is important to have a common understanding and perspective about automation among the many stakeholders, including aviation system designers, operators, maintainers, and regulatory authorities. Unfortunately, the discourse is hindered by misleading perspectives, assumptions, claims, and terminology
