Modern flightdecks combine cutting-edge interfaces, synthetic vision systems (SVS), and advanced connectivity tools to optimize safety, situational awareness, and operational efficiency. (L) Pro Line Fusion provides the industrys first touch-control primary flight display (PFD). (L)
Meanwhile, the A350 fixed base training device replicates the flightdeck, using visual and audio systems to make training sessions as realistic as possible, allowing for speedier training of crews in certain procedures that don’t require the functionality of a full-flight simulator.
Yakobchuk Viachelev / Shutterstock One of the last activities you may notice before the doors close will be the flight dispatcher entering the flightdeck to hand over any last-minute paperwork, the final passenger and fuel figures, and a finalized load sheet to the flight crew.
The latest iteration of its proprietary avionics package is the Primus Epic Integrated FlightDeck. The package features an interactive navigation system (INAV), which allows a pilot to select and click flightplan-specific options within the flight management system (FMS).
A random airliner doesnt often call up for push and taxi without an associated flightplan, and to do so with a desire to taxi around the airport for 10-15 minutes is even more unusual. Wings for All gave participants a reasonable expectation of what they would experience on an actual flight.
The latest version of the app is extremely versatile, providing all the digital resources a student pilot needs when learning to fly a Cessna 172, while simultaneously offering a Gulfstream pilot advanced flightplanning and international resources needed to fly from New York to London.
Things that you consistently need during a flight might be better kept close at hand, either in a side pocket or on your kneeboard for quick access. Managing resources and keeping the flightdeck organized promotes safe and stress-free flying. which can act as a handy “cheat sheet” in flight. What Does a Kneeboard Hold?
Pursuing my schooling on computer-aided flightplans, usually generated by an electronic flight bag (EFB—see Are You Current with the New Airman Certification Standards? for my ACS motivation), has led me to an FAA advisory circular, Use of FlightDeck Displays of Digital Weather and Aeronautical Information.
Flight Gear Backup Battery —In the world of the iPad pilot, flights demand power, and Flight Gear’s line of backup batteries is more than capable of keeping all your devices charged. Designed specifically for the iPad flightdeck, these battery packs offer multiple USB ports and safety features that ensure stable performance.
This can include using previously assigned frequencies, emergency frequencies, NAVAIDs, personal or company contact information provided in the flightplan, etc. Easier said than done with the myriad of distractions that can be found on the flightdeck.
Our main facilities , in Malaga city, have been designed with all this in mind , with more than 3,500 m2 distributed between simulation areas, digitised classrooms, study rooms, conference and flightplanning rooms, library or leisure and rest areas, among others.
During the briefing phase, it allows trainees to carry out an interactive flightdeck set-up, including building a flightplan, in a fully immersive environment. The A350 fixed base training device replicates the flightdeck, using visual and audio systems to make training sessions as realistic as possible.
On the advisory side, the FAA recently updated the related advisory circular on the topic: AC 00-63B – Use of FlightDeck Displays of Digital Weather and Aeronautical Information. Be aware of the product time or “valid until” time on the particular data link information displayed in the flightdeck.
Air Navigation Pro This flightplanning and GPS navigation app is designed for VFR pilots and offers international support, including charts for the US, Europe, South America and more. Embraer Aircraft Services A complete line of apps to assist operators of Embraer aircraft with support and services, performance and flightplanning.
Anything in the airplane not tied down floated, even dust from the flightdeck carpet, then slammed to the nearest surface moments later as we were caught by the next wave. Our return flight was by a safer, much smoother route. Nose up but descending fast. Geez, we gotta get out of this.” I needed an anchor even at 18,000 feet.
Having them both in the same display reduces the pilot’s workload during the most demanding section of the flight. The CVS is available with the Pro Line Fusion flightdeck. Guidelines in each corner of the pathway show the direction of the active flightplan leg to confirm that the plane is on its intended track.
A PPR confirmation number is always given, but this confirmation does not need to be placed in the flightplan’s International Civil Aviation Organization section. The earlier a flightplan is filed on Eurocontrol’s website, the better – in terms of achieving preferred departure time. Customs Alert!
Keep interaction with passengers, other tasks you might want to perform during your flight, or even management of the resources used in the flightdeck—such as an electronic flight bag (EFB) device—to periods where the workload is minimal and you don’t sacrifice attention necessary to complete more critical tasks.
The cellular model also allows you to download weather and file flightplans on the go, but don’t count on this cellular data connection to work in the air. The one exception on the iPad Pro models is if you’re looking for the ultimate big-screen experience on the flightdeck.
The new EFB guidance, Advisory Circular 91-78A, Use of Electronic Flight Bags , dated February 23, 2024, resolves the redundant paper question. EFB systems may be used in conjunction with, or to replace, the paper reference material that pilots typically carry in the flightdeck.
His team developed the concept in the late 1970s to improve “interpersonal communication, leadership, and decision-making” in aircraft flightdecks. CRM has gone on to become a staple of airline and military flight training. The term crew resource management is generally credited to NASA psychologist John Lauber.
Flashes of previous 737 experience, flight training, moving all over the planet, Phoenix, Girona, Rome, Barcelona, Hong Kong, manuals, operating procedures and limitations. I see my name on the crew list, I sign in and read the flightplan, notams and weather. I wrote earlier that becoming a pilot was never my childhood dream.
Pilots are required to check for NOTAMs along their relevant routes or locations before the start of a flight. NOTAMs are very important in that they can provide information that can cause a pilot to change their flightplans, such as Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) or an airport that has become temporarily unavailable.
Former FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker in September reiterated a long-standing agency commitment: Two pilots must always be on the flightdeck during routine commercial flight operations. One pilot would remain at the controls, with automation filling in for a second resting outside the flightdeck.
True to its name, the airspeed indicator tells you how fast the plane is going and is important for flightplanning and maintaining aircraft performance. The speed indicator itself connects to a series of hollow pipes in the plane that connects to the various instruments on the flightdeck, known as the pitot static system.
Bombardier’s Vision flightdeck features a head-up display that shows combined vision imagery to enhance situational awareness. Shortly after, Surack started to refresh the fleet with newer aircraft, now offering charter flights. But Chuck (Surack) is good about scheduling flights well in advance.
PRESS RELEASE G3000 PRIME App Menu G armin introduced G3000 PRIME, its most advanced integrated flightdeck yet. “Twenty years ago, Garmin redefined the general aviation cockpit with the G1000, our first integrated flightdeck.
It is not uncommon for air traffic control to pose this question to pilots on IFR flightplans approaching certain airports when the weather is VFR. Honeywell’s Anthem integrated flightdeck has driven a cascade of upcoming solutions for aircraft, including the Pilatus PC-12. “Can you accept the visual?”
One was at the controls of an airplane alongside a CFI, and was preceded by flightplanning and a preflight inspection. The participants also received a post flight debriefing. Another hour was flying a flight simulator where learning was easier without the flightdeck noise and the need to look out for traffic.
Owner/Operator and pilot-in-command responsibilities Cross-Country FlightPlanning PA.I.D.R7 Use of an electronic flight bag (EFB), if used. FlightDeck Management PA.II.B.R3 Adds these ACS codes: Airworthiness Requirements PA.I.B.K1e e. Passenger distractions Engine Starting PA.II.C.K4 Fixation and omission.
JFK-HND FlightPlanPlanning our extended journey is similar to our previous adventures to SYD or DEL ( See A Passage to India and A Passage to Sydney ). Like our SYD flight, I have 3 First Officers. But First, Congratulations to Team Aux's Producer Bunny! 3rd Place NPC North American National Bodybuilding Championships!
It also led to the birth of cockpit resource management (CRM); a process designed to train crews to utilize all the flightdeck’s human resources effectively. They also planned to use a flap 15 setting to reduce the aircraft’s ground roll on the 8,000-foot runway. At its takeoff weight of 23,916 lbs.,
Even entry level pilots working at smaller companies early in their careers can enjoy (with a wifi signal) advanced radar, route information, flightplanning and more at their fingertips. One thing most people do not realize is that most flightdeck instrumentation are all LCD displays.
Basic functions For the rare pilot whose flight bag still hasn’t been digitized, here is the least you can expect from an EFB: • A way to create and file a flightplan without leaving your tablet or smartphone. • All the charts needed for flightplanning and en route, plus airport charts for taxiing to and from the runway. •
