  • Pitot-Static System Blockage Effects on Airspeed Indicator
    The Dramatic Effects of Pitot-Static System Blockages and Failures by Luiz Roberto Monteiro de Oliveira . Table of Contents I ‐ Introduction…………………………………………………………………………………………………………….1 II ‐ Pitot‐Static Instruments…………………………………………………………………………………………..3 III ‐ Blockage Scenarios – Description……………………………..…………………………………….…..…11 IV ‐ Examples of the Blockage Scenarios…………………..……………………………………………….…15 V ‐ Disclaimer………………………………………………………………………………………………………………50 VI ‐ References…………………………………………………………………………………………….…..……..……51 Please also review and understand the disclaimer found at the end of the article before applying the information contained herein. I - Introduction This article takes a comprehensive look into Pitot-static system blockages and failures. These typically affect the airspeed indicator (ASI), vertical speed indicator (VSI) and altimeter. They can also affect the autopilot auto-throttle and other equipment that relies on airspeed and altitude information. There have been several commercial flights, more recently Air France's flight 447, whose crash could have been due, in part, to Pitot-static system issues and pilot reaction. It is plausible that the pilot at the controls could have become confused with the erroneous instrument readings of the airspeed and have unknowingly flown the aircraft out of control resulting in the crash. The goal of this article is to help remove or reduce, through knowledge, the likelihood of at least this one link in the chain of problems that can lead to accidents.

  • Use of the MS Flight Simulator in the Teaching of the Introduction to Avionics Course
    Session 1928 Use of the MS Flight Simulator in the teaching of the Introduction to avionics course Iulian Cotoi, Ruxandra Mihaela Botez Ecole de technologie supérieure Département de génie de la production automatisée 1100 Notre Dame Ouest Montréal, Qué., Canada, H3C 1K3 Introduction The course Introduction to avionics GPA-745 is an optional course in the Aerospace program given in the Department of Automated Production Engineering at École de technologie supérieure in Montreal, Canada. The main objectif of this course is the study of electronic avionics instrumentation installed in aircraft. In this course, the following chapters are presented : History of avionics, Methods of navigation and orientation, Pilot cockpit and board instrumentation, Communication systems, Radio-navigation systems, Landing systems, Engine signalization instruments, Central alarm systems, Maintenance systems and Warning systems. The presentation of the course in the class to the students is shown on PowerPoint slides and videos on modern aircraft such as Airbus and Boeing. Also, regarding the pilot induced oscillations a video film is provided from Bombardier Aerospace. However, the presentation of the course in the class may be improved and become more efficient grace to the use of MS Flight Simulator. The main idea of this paper is to show how the participation of the students in the class will be increased by use of the MS Flight Simulator. The use of the systems and the electronic board instrumentation will be shown with the help of the new flight simulations modules realized within the MS Flight Simulator. For each instrument, one module will be created and presented in the class, which will result in a more interesting course presentation, stimulating and dynamical from pedagogical point of view, than the theory of the course by use of PowerPoint.

    Module-7 Lecture-29 Flight Experiment: Instruments used in flight experiment, pre and post flight measurement of aircraft c.g. Module Agenda • Instruments used in flight experiments. • Pre and post flight measurement of center of gravity. • Experimental procedure for the following experiments. (a) Cruise Performance: Estimation of profile Drag coefficient (CDo ) and Os- walds efficiency (e) of an aircraft from experimental data obtained during steady and level flight. (b) Climb Performance: Estimation of Rate of Climb RC and Absolute and Service Ceiling from experimental data obtained during steady climb flight (c) Estimation of stick free and fixed neutral and maneuvering point using flight data. (d) Static lateral-directional stability tests. (e) Phugoid demonstration (f) Dutch roll demonstration 1 Instruments used for experiments1 1. Airspeed Indicator: The airspeed indicator shows the aircraft's speed (usually in knots ) relative to the surrounding air. It works by measuring the ram-air pressure in the aircraft's Pitot tube. The indicated airspeed must be corrected for air density (which varies with altitude, temperature and humidity) in order to obtain the true airspeed, and for wind conditions in order to obtain the speed over the ground. 2. Attitude Indicator: The attitude indicator (also known as an artificial horizon) shows the aircraft's relation to the horizon. From this the pilot can tell whether the wings are level and if the aircraft nose is pointing above or below the horizon. This is a primary instrument for instrument flight and is also useful in conditions of poor visibility. Pilots are trained to use other instruments in combination should this instrument or its power fail.

  • FAA-H-8083-15, Instrument Flying Handbook -- 1 of 2
    i ii Preface This Instrument Flying Handbook is designed for use by instrument flight instructors and pilots preparing for instrument rating tests. Instructors may find this handbook a valuable training aid as it includes basic reference material for knowledge testing and instrument flight training. Other Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) publications should be consulted for more detailed information on related topics. This handbook conforms to pilot training and certification concepts established by the FAA. There are different ways of teaching, as well as performing, flight procedures and maneuvers and many variations in the explanations of aerodynamic theories and principles. This handbook adopts selected methods and concepts for instrument flying. The discussion and explanations reflect the most commonly used practices and principles. Occasionally the word “must” or similar language is used where the desired action is deemed critical. The use of such language is not intended to add to, interpret, or relieve a duty imposed by Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR). All of the aeronautical knowledge and skills required to operate in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) are detailed. Chapters are dedicated to human and aerodynamic factors affecting instrument flight, the flight instruments, attitude instrument flying for airplanes, basic flight maneuvers used in IMC, attitude instrument flying for helicopters, navigation systems, the National Airspace System (NAS), the air traffic control (ATC) system, instrument flight rules (IFR) flight procedures, and IFR emergencies. Clearance shorthand and an integrated instrument lesson guide are also included. This handbook supersedes Advisory Circular (AC) 61-27C, Instrument Flying Handbook, which was revised in 1980.

  • Study of the Pilot's Attention in the Cabin During the Flight Auxiliary Devices Such As Variometer, Turn Indicator with Crosswise Or Other
    Journal of KONES Powertrain and Transport, Vol. 25, No. 3 2018 ISSN: 1231-4005 e-ISSN: 2354-0133 DOI: 10.5604/01.3001.0012.4309 STUDY OF THE PILOT’S ATTENTION IN THE CABIN DURING THE FLIGHT Mirosław Adamski, Mariusz Adamski, Ariel Adamski Polish Air Force Academy, Department of Aviation Dywizjonu 303 Street 35, 08-521 Deblin, Poland tel.: +48 261 517423, fax: +48 261 517421 e-mail: [email protected] [email protected], [email protected] Andrzej Szelmanowski Air Force Institute of Technology Ksiecia Boleslawa Street 6, 01-494 Warsaw, Poland tel.: +48 261 851603, fax: +48 261 851646 e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The pilot, while performing certain tasks or being in the battlefield environment works in a time lag. He is forced to properly interpret the information and quickly and correctly take action. Therefore, the instruments in the cabin should be arranged in such a way that they are legible and the operator have always-easy access to them. Due to the dynamics of the aircraft and the time needed to process the information by the pilot, a reaction delay occurs, resulting in the plane flying in an uncontrolled manner even up to several hundred meters. This article discusses the VFR and IFR flight characteristics, the pilot’s attention during flight, cabin ergonomics, and the placement of on-board instruments having a significant impact on the safety of the task performed in the air. In addition, tests have been carried out to determine exactly what the pilot’s eye is aimed at while completing the aerial task.

The basis of a conventional attitude indicator is a self-erecting a. vertical card mounted on a swivel. b. attitude flag arranged on a diagonal. c. gyroscope spinning on a vertical axis. 3. If the spin axis of the attitude indicator gyroscope moves off the vertical for some reason, the internal mechanism will realign it at a rate of approximately a. 3 degrees per second. b. 3 degrees per minute. c. 3 degrees per hour. 4. Occasionally, the miniature airplane on the attitude indicator may require repositioning while in level flight, due to changes in a. altitude (and corresponding air density). b. pitch attitude (associated with airspeed changes). c. the Earth’s gravitational forces. 5. If the attitude indicator experiences a failure of the power source, it will a. be unusable. b. continue to function if you maintain the same heading. c. still be a valid source of bank attitude. 6. Acceleration of the aircraft may cause the gyroscope to move off vertical, moving the horizon line a. toward the pilot. b. in the direction of the turn. c. to an incorrect position. 7. During a rapid acceleration, the horizon line will move down and the attitude indicator will indicate a false climb. a. True b. False 8. To avoid false indications when speeding up or slowing down, a pilot should increase the instrument scan rate a.

    EASA SIB No: 2009 - 12 EASA Safety Information Bulletin SIB No.: 2009 - 12 Issued: 30 April 2009 Subject: Erroneous Low Range Radio Altimeter (LRRA) indications on Boeing 737 aircraft Ref. Publications: Boeing Flight Operations Technical Bulletin 737-09-2 Description: An erroneous Low Range Radio Altimeter (LRRA) indication has been identified in connection with a recent 737-800 accident and there are reports of further incidents attributed to the same cause. Two LRRA systems provide height above ground data to Boeing 737 aircraft systems which include the displays, autothrottle (A/T), autopilots and configuration/ground proximity warning. Data from the left LRRA are used on some Boeing 737 aircraft for the autothrottle logic, regardless of the autopilot selected. When the autothrottle logic senses that the airplane is in landing flare, the thrust levers are retarded to the idle stop. If one LRRA provides erroneous altitude readings, the associated flight deck effects may typically include: • Inappropriate Flight Mode Annunciation (FMA) indication of autothrottle RETARD mode during approach phase with the airplane above 27 feet Above Ground Level (AGL). There will also be corresponding thrust lever movement towards the idle stop. The FMA will continue to indicate RETARD after the thrust levers have reached the idle stop rather than change to ARM. • Large differences between displayed radio altitude. • Inability to engage both autopilots in dual channel approach (APP) mode. • Unexpected removal of the Flight Director Command Bars during approach on the pilot’s side with the erroneous radio altimeter display. • Unexpected Configuration Warnings after takeoff, during approach, or during go-around. This is information only.
