Faa proposed rules on operation and certification of small unmanned aircraft ...PublicLeaker
The FAA is proposing a new rule to allow routine civil operation of small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) weighing less than 55 pounds in the National Airspace System. The proposed rule would establish specific operating rules to mitigate risk, including limiting operations to daylight hours, visual line of sight, confined areas, and below an altitude of 500 feet. It would also address aircraft registration and marking, operator certification requirements, and operational restrictions to ensure small UAS operations can safety and securely coexist with other aircraft.
This document discusses the regulatory landscape for unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in the United States as of early 2015. It summarizes the Pirker case, in which a UAS operator was fined by the FAA but ultimately settled for a smaller amount. It also outlines current FAA policy, which distinguishes between public, civil, and model aircraft use of UAS. For public UAS use, the FAA requires operators to obtain a Certificate of Waiver or Authorization and demonstrate the system's airworthiness and ability to avoid collisions with other aircraft. The lack of comprehensive federal regulation has led to inconsistent state laws on UAS use.

Accident Investigation Report Of FlyDubai Flight 981 (FDB981)Steven Wallach
FlyDubai Flight 981 crashed during an aborted landing at Rostov-on-Don Airport in Russia, killing all 62 people on board. The aircraft encountered heavy winds and turbulence on its approach. During a second landing attempt, the aircraft climbed steeply after aborting the landing then stalled and crashed back onto the runway. Analysis of the flight data and cockpit voice recorders showed the pilots experienced somatogravic illusion, causing them to think the plane was climbing when it was actually descending, due to lack of visual references at night. The investigation recommended additional simulator training for pilots on go-around procedures under low visibility conditions and compiling information from previous accidents caused by spatial disorientation.

Even in clear weather, night flights over areas with limited lighting provide few visual references that can be disorienting.
2) Three accident summaries are described where pilots crashed after experiencing spatial disorientation in low visibility conditions. The accidents involved a pilot who flew too low through a mountain pass, a pilot who deviated from his flight path and altitude in instrument conditions, and a pilot who crashed while maneuvering in dark night conditions with limited visual references.
3) Pilots are encouraged to obtain weather briefings, refuse external pressures that could influence dangerous decisions, seek training on aircraft
This document outlines key differences in phraseology used in air traffic control communications between the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). It discusses differences in terminology for air traffic control units, procedures for clearances, wake turbulence separation, use of headings versus tracks, procedures following loss of radio communication, holding patterns, and approach procedures. The document is intended to help pilots learn and understand differences that could impact safety and procedures when flying internationally.
This document provides scenarios for flight instructors to use to discuss risk management with students. The first scenario describes a private pilot planning a 400 NM night flight in marginal weather to attend a wedding. It asks which of the proposed solutions best manages the risks. The second scenario involves a private pilot with 135 hours planning their first long cross-country flight of over 700 miles in marginal weather to a birthday party. It asks which risk categories from the PAVE checklist are marginal. The third scenario describes a pilot 3 hours into a cross-country who is tired and low on fuel in worsening weather, asking if they should continue or land.
