Night Circuits Pre-Flight Brief Objective • To take-off safely, complete a circuit and land correctly at night. Application • To be able to safely takeoff and land at night • Can arrive at an aerodrome after EoD Airmanship • Lookout (extremely important to broadcast your sequence number on the base call) • Use appropriate instrument scans to maintain performance • Trust instruments and be aware of illusions • Correct handover/takeover procedure • Be familiar with aerodrome lighting Air Exercise • Pre-Flight – Conducted normally, paying particular attention to lighting. • Start Up – As per day, except turn on Beacon and navigation lights prior to start. Clear prop with 3 flashes of landing light • Taxiing – Harder to judge aircraft speed, need to look out side windows. – Taxi with taxi light on Air Exercise • Take-Off – Turn on Landing light on take-off (turn off taxi light) – Leave Landing light on for circuits – Use DG for headings in the circuit – Whilst on the ground 100% visual, as per day – After Lift-off, climb out on 100% instruments – Check +ve RoC, safe IAS, maintaining RWY HDG Air Exercise • X-Wind – Conducted 75% instruments, 25% visual – Keep landing light on during circuits • Downwind – 50% instruments, 50% visual – Pre landing checks, turn on landing light, check windsock – Align compass to DG • Base – 75% visual, 25% instruments • Final – 100% visual – Use RWY lighting for approach guidance Air Exercise • Landing – RWY lights at shoulder level, power to IDLE – Watch end lights and use peripheral vision to judge FLARE and HOLDOFF ON PROFILE BELOW PROFILE ABOVE PROFILE Air Exercise • Circuits – Normal Circuits – Flapless circuits • Aircraft Lighting Failures – Landing light failure – Instrument panel lighting failure – Full aircraft electrical failure • Airport Lighting Failures – Attempt to activate PAL, continue transmitting three second pulses – Check PAL Frequency – Land at another aerodrome with lighting – Need ERSA, VTC and VNC作者: 猪也能飞 时间: 2013-10-28 18:52:25
