• A görög szigetekre való üzemelést próbáljuk segíteni ezzel a kurzussal.
    1. Az egyes fejezetek egy-egy repülőtér legfontosabb tudnivalóit tartalmazzák pdf formátumban de diavetítésként. A repülőtér briefing-eket harmath Ottó állította össze. Minden reptér briefing mellet találtok egy fórumot, ahová az esetleges tapasztalataitokat leírhatjátok, hogy mások is tanulhassanak belőle.

    2. A briefingek mellet egy gondolatébresztő aerodinamika/performance értekezést olvashattok, amelyet Szentgyörgyi  György készített. 
      Az előadás a forró beton által okozott levegő sűrűség változás következményeit tárgyalja.

  • Kísérleti Home Study Course. Témája a 'Cold Weather Operation'. Az újdonság az, hogy 2005. december 16-ig fel kell dolgozni, és kitölteni a mellékelt tesztet. Mivel ez az elsõ ilyen, ezért nem zárjuk le december 16-án a tesztet, így bármikor pótolható az elmaradás. A teszttel tulajdonképpen csak az a cél, hogy dokumentálni lehessen, hogy elolvastátok az anyagot. Az anyagot cpt. Pálóczy Ferenc állította össze.

    FIGYELEM!

    Schilling Tamás B737 FO jóvoltából két nagyon hasznos linkkel bõvült ez a téma. Mindenkinek ajánlom, mert ezek az FAA által készített kurzusok nem csak a jegesedés tanulmányozására alkalmasak, hanem az angol gyakorlásra is. A videókon feliratozás kérhetõ a CC gomb megnyomásával. Nagy élmény!!


  • After three years of field and laboratory investigations and studies, the NTSB issued a remarkable finding of probable cause of the crash of American Airlines Flight 587. The Airbus Industrie A300-605R came down in a residential area of Belle Harbor, N.Y., on Nov. 12, 2001, about 0916 EST shortly after takeoff from JFK on a scheduled FAR Part 121 flight to the Dominican Republic. The first officer was at the controls, the captain was handling non-flying pilot duties, and seven cabin attendants were in their seats, as were the flight's 251 passengers. All those on board and five people on the ground were killed by impact forces and post-crash fire.

  •  One of the most essential tools in any cockpit is the weather radar system, but if you're like many pilots transitioning to a new aircraft or new radar, you're likely to discover that the training provided on the use of that critical tool is minimal at best. For many pilots, the proper use of radar is something that's picked up along the way, with very little formal training included in the process. Considering the instrument's many subtleties, and the importance of using radar correctly, many pilots and corporate flight departments find that even a single day of professional radar training will better focus their "weather eyes," and is well worth the time and money spent. In his book Severe Weather Flying, weather research pilot and meteorologist Dennis Newton writes, "This is an area in which a little knowledge can truly be a dangerous thing. Good courses and seminars are available."
  • There are many aspects of the FAR peripherally tied into the clean aircraft concept-PIC responsibility. careless and reckless operation. preflight requirements, etc., but perhaps the most important is the fact that the pilot in command has the ultimate responsibility to assure that the aircraft can be operated safely. Recognizing that even small amounts of ice, snow, or frost can degrade aircraft performance unpredictably means you're beginning to accept the responsibility. Accepting the consensus of the aviation community that the best way to verify the condition of your aircraft before takeoff is to perform a visual/hands on inspection indicates that you are living up to your responsibilities. Not taking off with snow, ice, or frost on the aircraft means you've fulfilled your clean aircraft concept responsibilities for that flight.

    In this article we'll outline the clean aircraft concept and encourage pilots of small aircraft to avail themselves of de-icing and anti-icing procedures when practical.
