Some aerial photography operations have airplanes specially outfitted with advanced camera gear. Aerial photography is often done by fixed base operators that hire pilots for other duties. So it will sometimes be one of the many positions a pilot will fill rather than a standalone job. Instrument rating.

Flying a light airplane offers access to thousands more airports than the airlines serve, which means you can land closer to your destination, avoid long taxi routes, and save time. To review, flying an IFR trip involves four main steps: File a flight plan (either with Flight Service or in an aviation app).

While the integrity of the aircraft is extremely vital to the flight, a vast majority of pilots overlook other tasks that should be a part of a good preflight. In §91.103, it states: Each pilot in command shall, before beginning a flight, become familiar with all available information concerning that flight.

Universal Trip support is available 24 hours a day to assist with flight planning and dispatch functions. In airline operations, dispatchers file flight plans, verify weight and balance in coordination with the load planner, and obtain weather information that is compiled and presented to the crew.

Many factors could prevent the controller from providing this service, such as: Radar Limitations Traffic Volume Controller Workload Frequency Congestion The workload-permitting service makes flight following different from Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) flights. Are you then forced to stick with that plan?

You might think that Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) are just about how to control and use your instruments in the aircraft, but you need more than skill–you need a rock-solid plan. IFR flight planning is about preparing for every twist and turn along the route. What Is an IFR Flight Plan?

The problem is, there’s more than this one limitation involved in the average flight, beyond just the perils that can be met by our piloting ability. We need to consider the full range of hazards we’re facing, and that involves more than just assessing the pilot’s ability. Stay honest in your relationship with the airplane.

In this guide, we will help you understand how to prevent pilot deviations and what you can expect if ATC ever calls you with the dreaded “possible pilot deviation” warning. Key Takeaways Clear communication with ATC is essential for avoiding pilot deviations. Situational awareness prevents errors that lead to runway incursions.

Subsequently, one must examine flight planning requirements, including the days duration, augmented crew requirements, and any necessity for intermediate stops for crew changes and refueling, especially if the aircraft cannot reach its final destination non-stop. That incident cost us half an hour talking to an airport inspector.
