Download or read book Private Pilot Airman Certification Standards Airplane written by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and published by Ravenio Books. This book was released on 2016-09-25 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has published the Private Pilot - Airplane Airman Certification Standards (ACS) document to communicate the aeronautical knowledge, risk management, and flight proficiency standards for the private pilot certification in the airplane category, single-engine land and sea; and multiengine land and sea classes. This ACS incorporates and supersedes the previous Private Pilot Practical Test Standards for Airplane, FAA-S-8081-14. The FAA views the ACS as the foundation of its transition to a more integrated and systematic approach to airman certification. The ACS is part of the safety management system (SMS) framework that the FAA uses to mitigate risks associated with airman certification training and testing. Specifically, the ACS, associated guidance, and test question components of the airman certification system are constructed around the four functional components of an SMS: Safety Policy that defines and describes aeronautical knowledge, flight proficiency, and risk management as integrated components of the airman certification system; Safety Risk Management processes through which internal and external stakeholders identify and evaluate regulatory changes, safety recommendations and other factors that require modification of airman testing and training materials; Safety Assurance processes to ensure the prompt and appropriate incorporation of changes arising from new regulations and safety recommendations; and Safety Promotion in the form of ongoing engagement with both external stakeholders (e.g., the aviation training industry) and FAA policy divisions. The FAA has developed this ACS and its associated guidance in collaboration with a diverse group of aviation training experts. The goal is to drive a systematic approach to all components of the airman certification system, including knowledge test question development and conduct of the practical test. The FAA acknowledges and appreciates the many hours that these aviation experts have contributed toward this goal. This level of collaboration, a hallmark of a robust safety culture, strengthens and enhances aviation safety at every level of the airman certification system.

Download or read book Manifesto written by Mike Busch and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2014-07-07 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “There's a dirty little secret about aviation maintenance: it often breaks aircraft instead of fixing them.” “Manifesto” is the much-anticipated first book from renowned aviation columnist and speaker Mike Busch. Written in typical no-nonsense style, it lays out the basis of Mike's “minimalist” maintenance philosophy for owner-flown general aviation aircraft. An owner who follows the book's guidance can save a small fortune on maintenance costs and end up with a safer, more reliable aircraft. Owners are advised to perform the absolute least amount of maintenance required to make their aircraft safe, reliable and legal… and nothing more. The book explains in detail why engine and propeller TBOs and most other manufacturer-prescribed maintenance intervals should be disregarded. And “Manifesto” explains exactly how to do it. About the Author: Mike Busch is arguably the best-known A&P/IA in general aviation. In 2008, he was honored by the FAA as “National Aviation Maintenance Technician of the Year.” Mike has been a prolific aviation writer for more than four decades. His “Savvy Aviator” columns have appeared in numerous publications including EAA Sport Aviation, AOPA's Opinion Leader's Blog, AVweb, and magazines for the three largest GA type clubs (ABS, CPA, and COPA). He is renowned for his free monthly maintenance webinars and his standing-room-only forums at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. Mike has been a pilot and aircraft owner for 45 years with 7,500+ hours logged, and he is a CFIA/I/ME. He's founder and CEO of Savvy Aircraft Maintenance Management, Inc., the world's largest firm providing maintenance-management services for owner-flown aircraft.

Book excerpt: To be completely frank about it, I'm increasingly aware that there are as many gray areas in aviation as there are black-and-white ones, and I'm beginning to feel as if I know less and less about what I do. I'm a trained and reasonably experienced A&P mechanic, and I'm supposed to know this airplane stuff, but my experiences are often contradictory to what I know are theoretical facts. It's frustrating, and sometimes I think I knew more back when I knew less. Or at least I thought I did. To keep an aircraft in peak operating condition, aircraft mechanics and service technicians perform scheduled maintenance to make repairs and complete inspections required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Many aircraft mechanics specialize in preventive maintenance. They inspect engines, landing gear, instruments, pressurized sections, accessories—brakes, valves, pumps, and air-conditioning systems, for example—and other parts of the aircraft and do the necessary maintenance and replacement of parts. Inspections take place following a schedule based on the number of hours the aircraft has flown, calendar days, cycles of operation, or a combination of these factors. To examine an engine, aircraft mechanics work through specially designed openings while standing on ladders or scaffolds, or use hoists or lifts to remove the entire engine from the craft. After taking an engine apart, mechanics use precision instruments to measure parts for wear and use x-ray and magnetic inspection equipment to check for invisible cracks. Worn or defective parts are repaired or replaced. They may also repair sheet metal or composite surfaces, measure the tension of control cables, and check for corrosion, distortion, and cracks in the fuselage, wings, and tail. After completing all repairs, mechanics must test the equipment to ensure that it works properly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the first comprehensive comparison of the Aircraft Maintenance Program (AMP) requirements of the two most widely known aviation regulators: the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). It offers an in-depth examination of the elements of an AMP, explaining the aircraft accident investigations and events that have originated and modelled the current rules. By introducing the Triangle of Airworthiness model (Reliability, Quality and Safety), the book enables easier understanding of the processes by which an aircraft and its components are deemed to be in a safe condition for operation from a cost-effective and optimization perspective. The book compares the best practices used by top airlines and compiles a series of tools and techniques to improve the standards of the AMP. Aircraft maintenance engineers, students in the field of aerospace engineering, and airlines staff, as well as researchers more widely interested in safety, quality, and reliability will benefit from reading this book

Download or read book Forty Years of Aviation Life written by David Boudreaux and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-02-05 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is my desire to share the dissapointments and triumphs associated with living an aviation lifestyle. My hope is that many more individuals who are considering becoming a pilot, an aircraft mechanic or maybe even an aircraft owner will find this information valuable. This book covers nearly every aspect of becoming involved in aviation no matter which of these fields you might be interested in persuing. You can learn what is required by the Federal Aviation administration in order to become an aircraft mechanic, an aircraft inspector or even a private pilot. You can learn what you need to do in order to get started with pilot training. You can learn what to look for if you are considering purchasing an aircraft to do your training in. If you already own an aircraft you can learn about avionics upgrades and what maintenance you are allowed to do on your own aircraft. It has been brought to my attention that many people may be interested in being involved in aviation but really have no idea which area suits them best or where to begin and I believe this will help. I have been involved in the aviation industry for nearly forty years as the title indicates and have worked on Military, Commercial, Corporate and General Aviation aircraft my entire adult life. I have many people asking me aviation related questions from daylight to dark everyday and I thought it would a be good idea to just make a lot of this information available in one place. This book covers many serious aviation related topics but also shares a significant amount of firsthand experiences in different types of aviation careers. Personally I believe there is something for everyone who has the slightest interest in aviation but there is also a significant amount of humor. I think it is important for someone who may be considering an aviation career to know what to expect ahead of time. I can tell you firsthand that I had no idea of what to expect and frankly some of it caught me off guard. For those of you who are already in the business but possibly considering a different aspect, or a different job, there is plenty of information related to each possibilty. If you have been an aircraft mechanic for a while and are considering starting you own business that is covered as well. Everything from what you need to be aware of in order to start an aviation business to running a FBO or a CRS, to dealing with full time employees, contractors, customers and taxes. There is also a tidbit of information about dealing with the Federal Aviation Adiministration and its regulations. I have tried to cover some complicated issues while explaining them in terms that are interesting to the experienced aviation fanatic and yet easy for the aviation novice or mere spectator to comprehend. While all of the stories are true and easy to relate to I must stress that the lessons learned on my part are strictly my own personal opinion. While I think you will find many of my personal experiences interesting, educational and even humorous, most of all I hope they will help you to be motivated to get involved in aviation if you're not already. If you already are involved then perhaps it will help you decide where you would like to go from where you are in your aviation related career. No matter where you are or where you decide to go concerning aviation I hope reading this material will be a helpful and enjoyable experience.
