    Proper pilot training of aircraft systems is the first step in helping overall efficiency on line within the operation. Specific aircraft systems cannot be discussed unless the basic operating principles of these systems are fully understood. Although most professional pilots should the basic concepts involved, it might not be the best practice in assuming this. This will help facilitate a deeper depth of understanding and lead to more efficient decisions down the road. For the purposes of the discussion, I will be referring to the basic operations of transport category, turbofan-jet aircraft.…

    Many new developments have taken place that will have a pronounced effect on general aviation flight operations and, consequently, general aviation training. The complexity of the airspace will increase as the NAS is modernized and the FAA’s Operational Evolution Plan (OEP) takes effect. These changes will be magnified as new cockpit…

    Each day millions of people put their lives in the hands of pilots. Whether they are civilians or military personnel, these individuals depend on the pilot to get them to their destination safely. What they often overlook is that there are various aeromedical factors that are essential features in the lives of pilots. These aeromedical factors can surface at any given time and can ultimately affect how a pilot carries out his day-to-day responsibilities.…

    The approach and landing phase is usually the most critical and most dangerous phase of every flight. In 2011, about 65% of all accidents began in the approach and landing phase (Trautvetter, 2013). The main cause of the accidents and incidents in this phase is an unstabilised approach. Much is being done to mitigate this prevalence the core of it being training. On average, 96% of unstabilised approaches do not result in a go-around when 54% of all aircraft accidents could have been prevented by a go-around (Trautvetter, 2013).…

    You are aboard an airliner returning from vacation. You have a window seat and all seems well. Suddenly the pilot announces over the intercom for everyone to fasten their seatbelts and prepare for landing. You look out the window and see several other aircraft flying around near the airport. Suddenly the aircraft begins to shake and bounce around. You are getting nervous because you can still see lots of aircraft flying around and you can also see lots of traffic on the ground at the airport as the plane circles around. The only thing going through your head is what if we collide with another aircraft or collide with vehicles when we land. You become really nervous and begin to panic, the guy sitting next to you ask, are you OK? You tell him that you think the plane is going to crash into nearby planes or hit something on the ground. The man calmly reassures you that systems are in place to ensure that does not happen. During this paper I will talk about some of those systems and some new technology that will enhance flight safety and ground safety.…

    Direct Cosine Matrix

    • 11355 Words
    • 46 Pages

    William Premerlani and Paul Bizard This is the first of a pair of papers on the theory and implementation of a direction-cosine-matrix (DCM) based inertial measurement unit for application in model planes and helicopters. Actually, at this point, it is still a draft, there is still a lot more work to be done. Several reviewers, especially Louis LeGrand and UFO-man, have made good suggestions on additions and revisions that we should make and prepared some figures that we have not included yet. We will eventually incorporate their suggestions, but it may take a long time to get there. In the meantime, we think there is an audience who can benefit from what we have so far. The motivation for DCM was to take the next step in stabilization and control functions from an inherently stable aircraft with elevator and rudder control, to an aerobatic aircraft with ailerons and elevator. One of the authors (Premerlani) built a two axes board several years ago, and developed rudimentary firmware to provide stabilization and return-to-launch (RTL) functions for a Gentle Lady sailplane. The firmware worked well enough, and the author came to rely on the RTL feature, but it never seemed to work as well as the author would like. In particular, satisfactory solutions to the following two issues were never found: • Mixing. It was recognized that in a banked turn, there were two problems arising from the bank angle. First, the yaw rotation of the aircraft around the turn generated a nuisance signal in the pitch gyro, because of the banking. Second, in order to make a level turn, the elevator needed some “up” deflection. The amount of deflection depends on the bank angle, which could not be directly measured. Both issues were opposite sides of the same coin. Acceleration. An accelerometer measures gravity minus acceleration. The acceleration is equal to the total of all of the aerodynamic forces (lift, thrust, drag, etc.) on the plane, plus the…
