Introduction

This book features a series of tables that assist readers in understanding the impact forces that are generated by birds of various weights at a variety of speeds:

Objective

To facilitate the student learning:

• to navigate from the point of departure to the destination using GPS

Motivation

The introduction of GPS has revolutionized how pilots navigate enroute. It is essential that pilots acquire and maintain a high standard of operating skill for this phase of flight.

Essential Background Knowledge

Explain the functions of the navigation (NAV) mode of the GPS receiver

Although GPS receivers are complex computers capable of many functions, this instructors guide is designed for teaching the student only those functions necessary to enable him/her to depart from point A, navigate to point B, hold at point B, carry out an approach, overshoot and go to the alternate under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). The guide is designed for GPS receivers that have been certified for IFR operations in accordance with Technical Standard Order (TSO) C-129.

Objective

To facilitate the student learning:

• to program a hold in the GPS receiver, if capable
• to execute holding procedures using GPS

Motivation

The ability to execute a hold is essential for all pilots operating under IFR.

Essential Background Knowledge

Explain the various types of holds the student may encounter when flying IFR

Explain how to add a hold to the flight plan, if capable

Advice to Instructors

Much has changed in the world since the first edition of Sharing the Skies became available. In particular, the events of September 2001 had a profound impact on airports in virtually every nation. From a wildlife-management perspective, these impacts constitute fresh hazards—not of aircraft strikes against birds or mammals, but of airport owners and operators whose broader safety concerns may be eclipsed by terrorism-related security issues.
