This book was released on 2017-05-19 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Training Circular TC 3-04.5 Instrument Flight for Army Aviators April 2017 TC 3-04.5 presents fundamentals, procedures, and techniques for instrument flying that are essential to the effective conduct of military operations and creates the ability to enable commanders to make risk decisions in less than optimal weather while preserving combat power. This publication is written for Army Aircrews to develop a fundamental understanding of knowledge and skills necessary to operate in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC). TC 3-04.5 is an excellent reference for Army aircrews; however, it cannot be expected that this training circular is all inclusive or a full comprehension of the information will be obtained by simply reading the text. TC 3-04.5 facilitates adherence to Army regulation (AR) 95-1 by providing guidance and procedures for standard Army instrument flying. Aircraft flight instrumentation and mission objectives are varied, making instruction general for equipment and detailed for accomplishment of maneuvers. Guidance found in this manual is both technique and procedure oriented. Aircraft operator manuals provide the detailed instructions required for particular aircraft instrumentation or characteristics. When used with related flight directives and publications, this publication provides adequate guidance for instrument flight under most circumstances but is not a substitute for sound judgment; circumstances may require modification of prescribed procedures. Aircrew members charged with the safe operation of United States Army, Army National Guard (ARNG), or United States Army Reserve (USAR) aircraft must be knowledgeable of the guidance contained herein. This manual applies to all military, civilian, and/or contractor personnel who operate Army aircraft, and is designed as a technical reference for Army aviators who operate under instrument flight rules (IFR) in the National Airspace System (NAS) and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) and Instrument Flying Handbook (IFH) are not regulatory; however, both provide information that reflects examples of operating techniques and procedures required in other regulations. Furthermore, the AIM and IFH contain some techniques and procedures not consistent with Army mission requirements, regulatory guidance, waivers, exemptions, and accepted techniques and procedures. These publications, however, are the accepted standard for civil aviation and reflect general techniques and procedures used by other pilots. Much of the information contained in this manual is reproduced from the AIM and IFH and adapted for Army use. If a subject is not covered in this manual or another Army regulation, personnel will follow guidance in the AIM and the IFH unless mission requirements dictate otherwise.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Flight FM 3 04 203 written by Department Army and published by . This book was released on 2012-11-30 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Field manual (FM) 3-04.203 still presents information to plan and conduct common aviation tasks for fixed- and rotary-wing flight. However, it has become more inclusive and its scope broadened to reduce the number of manuals used by Army crewmembers for reference. One of the underlying premises of Army aviation is if crewmembers understand 'why' they will be better prepared to 'do' when confronted with the unexpected. FM 3-04.203 endeavors to ensure that crewmembers understand the basic physics of flight, and the dynamics associated with fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft. A comprehensive understanding of these principles will better prepare a crewmember for flight, transition training, and tactical flight operations. Because the U.S. Army prepares its Soldiers to operate anywhere in the world, this publication describes the unique requirements and flying techniques crewmembers will use to successfully operate in extreme environments, not always encountered in home station training. As a full-time force, the U.S. Army is capable of using the advantages of its superior night operation technologies to leverage combat power. To that end, Army crewmembers must be familiar and capable of performing their mission proficiently and tactically at night. The information on night vision systems (NVSs) and night operations in this circular will provide the basis for acquiring these skills. Every aviator understands that the primary purpose is to operate aircraft safely. Every crewmember must perform the mission effectively and decisively in tactical and combat operations. FM 3-04.203 also covers basic tactical flight profiles, formation flight, and air combat maneuvers. FM 3-04.203 is an excellent reference for Army crewmembers; however, it cannot be expected that this circular is all inclusive or a full comprehension of the information will be obtained by simply reading the text. A firm understanding will begin to occur as crewmembers become more experienced in their particular aircraft, study the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) of their units, and study other sources of information. Crewmembers honing skills should review FM 3-04.203 periodically to gain new insights.

This book was released on 2019-02-09 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual, Training Circular TC 3-04.93 Aeromedical Training for Flight Personnel with Change 1 January 2019, provides crewmembers with an understanding of the physiological responses that can occur in the aviation environment. It also describes the effects of the flight environment on individual mission accomplishment. In addition, this publication outlines essential aeromedical training requirements that assist commanders and flight surgeons in conducting aeromedical education for Army crewmembers. Subject areas addressed are by no means all-inclusive but are presented to assist crewmembers in increasing performance and efficiency. This publication contains guidelines for aircrew training program commanders, flight surgeons, rated crewmembers (RCMs), nonrated crewmembers (NRCMs), and nonrated non-crewmembers (NCM). The principal audience for TC 3-04.93 is Army Aviation, primarily fixed-wing (FW) and rotary-wing (RW) crewmembers and UAS operators. It is applicable to division, corps, the Theater Aviation Command, Theater Command, Area Sustainment Command, and the Army Aviation community, including members of allied, coalition, and civil defense support of civil authorities' forces. Implementation of this publication conforms to Army Regulation (AR) 95-1, TC 3-04.11, and appropriate aircrew training manuals.To keep pace with the current operating environment, the development of more sophisticated aircraft, and improvements in weapons systems, Army crewmembers must be capable of operating these systems for extended periods of time, in austere environments, and under adverse conditions. The associated physiological impacts of operating under such conditions could impact aircrew performance and jeopardize mission accomplishment unless crewmembers are trained to recognize and understand these aeromedical factors. Spatial disorientation is the physiologic factor that contributes most often to aircraft mishaps. TC 3-04.93 updates previous doctrine and utilizes lessons learned from recent military conflicts and contingency operations in order to incorporate the most relevant training methods related to spatial disorientation (SD).
