Flight Safety

  1. Flight safety is an important aspect of flight training. Both aircrew and groundcrew must be aware of the need for correct safety practices. You are in a position to reduce incorrect, unsafe and illegal practices. To be successful, a flight safety program requires the correct attitude, proper supervision, rigid enforcement, and proper training. Your student learns by example — you must set this example.
  2. An experienced instructor is an effective supporter of the principles of good airmanship and flight discipline.

Master Minimum Equipment List/Minimum Equipment List Policy and Procedures Manual - TP 9155

Overview

This manual contains all the relevant information with respect to the philosophy, development and approval of the Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL) and Minimum Equipment List (MEL).

A Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL) is an approved document created specifically to regulate the dispatch of an aircraft type with inoperative equipment. It establishes the aircraft equipment allowed to be inoperative under certain conditions for a specific type of aircraft and forms the basis for MEL.

Answers for Questions in the Text

QUESTION #1

Rather than giving students information, using oral questions can call upon their background knowledge and previous experience to reason out the answer, thus promoting mental activity.

QUESTION #2

When students are allowed to participate in a lesson and contribute to its success, interest is maintained to a much greater degree than if students only sit and listen to the instructor.

QUESTION #3

Exercise 4 - Air Speed and Power Changes - Straight and Level Flight

GROUND SCHOOL POINTS

Flight Manual - engine, transmission and airspeed limitations.

PREPARATORY INSTRUCTION

AIM

For the student to learn:

  1. The relationship of rotor disc and fuselage attitudes to indicated airspeed.
  2. The correct methods of selecting or changing engine power, e.g. manifold pressure and rotor r.p.m.
  3. How to fly straight and level in balanced flight at selected airspeeds or power settings.
