Weather Reports, Forecasts & Flight Planning - eBook

2007-07-27T08:02:00.000-07:00

A book by Terry T. Lankford, Weather Reports, Forecasts & Flight Planning, Third Edition.

This book provides information that is not only required to pass
written and practical examinations, but also to prepare the dispatcher
as well as the pilot—from student through airline transport, from
recreational to biz-jet—to operate safely and efficiently within an
increasingly complex environment.

Student, recreational, private, and commercial pilots will develop
abilities to recognize and avoid critical weather situations.
Pilots will learn to obtain weather reports and forecasts, through
the FAA and other sources, then interpret and apply information to
flight situations.

Pilots will understand the principles of forecasting, and applying
forecasts and observations to the flight environment.

Pilots will understand weather collection and distribution, symbols
and contractions, charts and forecasts, and how terrain affects weather.

Pilots will recognize cloud forms, conditions conducive to icing and
other meteorological hazards, and the use of pilot weather reports.

The student pilot will have access to the knowledge of the airline
transport pilot.

Beech King Air B200

2007-07-21T03:34:00.000-07:00

Videoflyrec B200 is a Multicrew Coordination Course (MCC) produced in collaboration with Aeromadrid. This course is performed by professional pilots in a real B200 KingAir simulator where we explain step by step, both normal and emergency procedures.

The first part of the DVD explains the use of every cockpit switch, knob and control. Then we perform in detail every phase of the normal ground procedures, engine start, preflight checks, cockpit preparation, etc.

We then proceed to explain a full flight from Madrid to Palma Mallorca where the pilots perform the normal procedures and viewer may see how the crew coordinate their actions.

Once the flight is concluded, emergency procedures are executed like engine failure, sudden decompression, landing gear failure, etc. The video ends by listing some of the characteristics and limitations of the B200.

The real flight procedures performed in the video can be perfectly simulated in Flight Simulator by using the magnificent model designed and produced by AEROWORX, the X-treme King Air B200.

Sporty's Air Facts

2007-07-10T08:48:00.000-07:00

These are DVD rips of pretty good quality.

DVD 1:

Air Facts: Practical Airmanship
Includes 4 Air Facts Titles

Preflight Tips - Flying is more challenging than most pilots' preflight inspections would indicate. You'll learn what to look for, why each item is important and the consequences of inattention to any. Along the way, you'll also pick up valuable tips, such as how to plan for an inaccurate winds aloft forecast. (28 min.)

Departing - You'll learn the many factors contributing to a successful departure and (how to manage each), why rotation speed in your airplane's POH is best used as a general guideline and much more. Learn how to plan your departures like the pros. (29 min.)

Climb & Cruise - Starts at 1000' AGL and continues through the en route phase of flight. See how instrument approaches can improve your departures and how to estimate in-flight visibility quickly, easily and accurately. Covering both VFR and IFR flying, the techniques covered in this title will help you manage the en route chores that keep you ahead of the airplane. (27 min.)

Descent & Landing - Examines both VFR and IFR arrival procedures and provides hints to help make this critical phase of flight go smoothly. Learn to fly defensively in the pattern and to manage both the aircraft and the flight environment - from dealing with changing winds to navigating the intricacies of ATC. (29 min.)

DVD 2:

Air Facts: The Prepared Pilot
Includes 4 Air Facts Titles

Flight Review - The regulations state that a pilot must complete a flight review at least every two years, and that it must consist of an hour of ground and an hour of flight instruction. Good pilots go beyond the rule and seek a review that explores areas which relate to the actual type of flying done. Examines flight reviews and looks at ways to make them more valuable. (24 min.)

Personal Minimums - Every element of every flight (weather, personal health, aircraft condition, recent experience, pressure to get to a destination, etc.) influences the go/no-go decision and forces the pilot to ask, "Do today's conditions meet my standards?" Collins explores these factors and discusses how to develop your own set of rules to make every flight safer and more enjoyable. (29 min.)

Emergencies -Addresses the best possible strategies to deal with an in-flight emergency - vacuum and electrical problems, engine failures, smoke in the cockpit and more. Learn what the emergency checklists don't tell you. Also, how to be prepared for surprises and what you can do to prevent an emergency. (26 min.)

Night Flying - Nighttime is a rewarding (yet demanding) time to fly and the record has shown that risk increases dramatically after the sun goes down. Explores the proper techniques of night flying and how to manage the risks, both VFR and IFR. (27 min.)

DVD 3:

Air Facts: Flying Weather
Includes 5 Air Facts Titles

Frontal Weather - Examines the practical aspects of safely operating in and around frontal weather. Avoids much of the technical data and instead, focuses on the real-world characteristics of fronts. Covers all types of fronts, interpreting forecasts and depictions, weather radar, Stormscope, flight planning tips, seasonal variations, the effects of atmospheric pressure changes and much more. Greatly expands on the fundamental weather information you received when first obtaining your pilot certificate. (28 min.)

Icing - Icing conditions can and do exist throughout the year across most of the USA. Explains weather phenomena likely to produce ice and how to avoid those areas through careful preflight planning. Examines icing forecasts/reports, the go/no-go decision, the use of anti- and de-icing equipment or (if all else fails) how to deal with a plane-load of ice. (24 min.)

Lows-Covers all elements associated with lows, including snow, freezing rain, sleet and thundershowers. Low pressure systems and their associated weather are quite often the element(s) that require the most attention when planning a flight. Uses actual in-flight footage and sophisticated 3-D computer graphics to discuss the formation, development and tracks of low pressure areas and how they affect flight. (23 min.)

Thunderstorms - Thunderstorms and their associated weather present a unique challenge for all flight. In-flight footage from several flights demonstrates convective weather and investigates available aids and weather advisories. Also, examines how reports and forecasts relate to actual conditions, important decision-making considerations and strategies for flying with-and without-weather avoidance equipment. (22 min.)

Turbulence - Familiarity with turbulence, its causes and its effects on the aircraft can mean the difference between an enjoyable flight and an uncomfortable on-or worse. Explains the conditions and weather phenomena likely to produce turbulence and how to "read" clouds for clues. Also covers the effects of turbulence on aircraft structural limits, maneuvering speed (VA), proper pilot technique during turbulence and much more. (32 min.)

Total time 129 min.

DVD 4:

Air Facts: GPS Techniques
Includes 2 Air Facts Titles

GPS Approaches—All new 5th edition! Ride along as Richard L. Collins shows you how to master ever-changing GPS approaches. In the must-see section on WAAS approaches, he explains what exactly a WAAS approach is, and how it offers ILS-like vertical guidance and lower minimums to hundreds of airports. He also shows the differences between the new LNAV/VNAV and LPV approaches and a traditional ILS. You’ll also learn to traps to watch out for on the new WAAS approach charts.

GPS En Route—Now completely revised, this informative program helps you get the most out of your GPS—whether hand-held or panel mount. Collins emphasizes the use of flight plans, and shows how they can make you more efficient, especially when dealing with busy airspace, weather and TFRs. He also introduces T-routes, the domestic low altitude RNAV routes, and explains what they can do for you. VNAV is also covered, and you’ll see how this vertical navigation tool can save you valuable time in the cockpit. Finally, Collins shares his own unique tips for using GPS to improve your odds in an emergency.
Total time 84 min.
