Description

Becoming an airline pilot demands a well-rounded candidate--someone skilled in the operation and handling of aircraft who is of the utmost professional and moral character. This book covers the technical areas while highlighting what it means to be an aviation professional. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) outlines the content required by the Airline Transport Pilot -- Certification Training Program (ATP-CTP). The ATP-CTP ground school must be completed prior to taking the FAA ATP knowledge exam needed to earn an ATP certificate. This book covers all the topics required and provides practical advice on topics pertinent to a newly-hired airline pilot, including: aerodynamics with a focus on high altitude operations, stall prevention and recovery, and general upset recovery techniques for transport category aircraft; applicable weather considerations with emphasis on abnormal weather conditions, icing, and severe weather avoidance; general operating principles when working for an airline; and physiological factors, checklist procedures, equipment failures, turbine engines, transport category performance, and automation. Concluding chapters are dedicated to leadership and professionalism, crew resource management, safety culture, and regulations, including sleep and duty regulations as well as operating rules that differ from general aviation regulations. This book can be used in academic advanced jet transition training courses to help students prepare for their transition to the airlines. Review questions conclude each chapter.

Introduction
ATP CTP History
On February 12, 2009, a Colgan Air Bombardier Dash-8 Q400 operating as Continental Connection 3407 experienced a loss of control on an instrument approach into Buffalo Niagara International Airport in Buffalo, New York, and crashed 5 nautical miles northeast of the airport, killing all 49 passengers on board and one person on the ground. Exactly one year following the accident, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Aircraft Accident Report listed the probable cause of the accident as, “… the captain’s inappropriate response to the activation of the stick shaker, which led to an aerodynamic stall from which the airplane did not recover.” The report further listed four contributing factors to the accident: “(1) the flight crew’s failure to monitor airspeed in relation to the rising position of the low-speed cue, (2) the flight crew’s failure to adhere to sterile cockpit procedures, (3) the captain’s failure to effectively manage the flight, and (4) Colgan Air’s inadequate procedures for airspeed selection and management during approaches in icing conditions.” Furthermore, the final accident report listed 46 findings, many of which resulted in major changes to the certification and training of airline pilots.
The families of the victims of Colgan Air 3407 lobbied Congress heavily for numerous safety improvements relating directly to the findings of the NTSB accident investigation. On August 1, 2010, President Barack Obama signed Public Law 111-216, the Airline Safety and Federal Aviation Administration Extension Act of 2010, which was effective August 2, 2013. This Public Law had massive repercussions for the FAA and the airlines. In fact, much of the content of this book is centered around concepts outlined in this Public Law and the FAA’s response to it.
Below is a list of the sections that apply directly to the certification and operation of pilots under 14 CFR Part 121: Section 206: Requires the FAA Administrator to convene an Aviation Rulemaking Committee to make recommendations focused on the areas of mentoring, professional development, and leadership, and then conduct a rulemaking based on these findings. Section 207: Requires the FAA Administrator to conduct a study of industry best practices with regard to pilot pairing, crew resource management techniques, and pilot commuting. The Administrator shall then submit to Congress’s Transportation & Infrastructure Committee and Commerce Committee a report on the findings of this study. Section 208: Requires the FAA Administrator to conduct rulemakings that require all Part 121 air carriers to provide stall and upset recognition and recovery training as well as to implement remedial training programs. It also forms a multidisciplinary panel to report on stick pusher and weather event training. Section 209: Gives the FAA a timeline to complete its current rulemaking on crewmember training, and forms a multidisciplinary panel to examine a number of issues related to various aspects of pilot training—ground school, recurrent training, assessing proficiency, etc.—and then report to Congress. Section 210: Requires all ticket agents, air carriers, and any other persons selling plane tickets to disclose verbally or in writing the name of the carrier actually operating each segment of a flight, and requires internet ticket sites to disclose this information in the initial display after a search. Section 211: Requires the FAA Administrator to conduct on-site, random inspections at a minimum of a yearly basis at all regional airlines. Section 212: Requires the FAA Administrator to conduct rulemaking establishing new flight and duty time regulations, requires all Part 121 carriers to submit a Fatigue Risk Management Plan for Administrator approval, and directs a study on commuting, with findings to be incorporated into fatigue rulemaking. Section 213: Requires the FAA Administrator to report to Congress’s Transportation & Infrastructure Committee and Commerce Committee on a carrier-by-carrier basis, detailing which carriers are utilizing Flight Operational Quality Assurance (FOQA), Line Operations Safety Assessments (LOSA), Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP), and Advanced Qualification Program (AQP), and also examine how the data derived from such programs is being shared across the industry to ensure maximum safety benefit. Section 214: Requires the FAA Administrator to develop a plan to facilitate the implementation of ASAP and FOQA at all Part 121 carriers. Section 215: Requires the FAA Administrator to conduct a rulemaking to require all Part 121 carriers to implement Safety Management Systems. Section 216: Requires the FAA Administrator to conduct a rulemaking that changes screening and qualification requirements for all Part 121 pilots, requiring an ATP license and appropriate multi-engine experience. It includes a default provision that the ATP requirement is mandatory within 3 years. Section 217: Requires the FAA Administrator to conduct a rulemaking that modifies the requirements to earn an Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) license. It focuses on flight hours (including in difficult operational conditions) and additional qualitative elements.
The FAA convened several Aviation Rulemaking Committees (ARC) to respond to the mandates made by Public Law 111-216. An ARC is a group of FAA employees and industry experts and stakeholders tasked with the creation or revision of aviation regulations. The final ruling from the First Officer Qualification (FOQ) ARC was issued July 10, 2013. The final rule had six primary provisions, or changes, to the regulation: All pilots operating under Part 121 operations are required to hold an Airline Pilot Transport (ATP) certificate beginning August 1, 2013. All pilots seeking an ATP certificate with a multi-engine class rating are required to complete an Airline Transport Pilot Certificate Training Program (ATP-CTP) prior to taking the ATP knowledge test. All second-in-command (SIC) pilots in Part 121 operations must have a type rating for the aircraft being flown. A minimum of 50 hours of multi-engine flight time is required in order to qualify for an ATP certificate. A Restricted Airline Transport Pilot (R-ATP) certificate was established, enabling pilots who meet certain prescribed criteria to operate as an SIC in Part 121 operations. A minimum of 1,000 hours of flight experience in air carrier operations is required prior to serving as a pilot-in-command (PIC) in Part 121 operations.
Many of the requirements of the FOQ ARC are explained in detail throughout this book. It’s important to note that this book does not focus solely upon the regulatory changes resulting from Public Law 111-216. Instead, the intent of this book is to prepare an airline pilot candidate in all areas relating to their desired occupation. Being an airline pilot demands a well-rounded candidate—someone who is skilled in the operation and handling of aircraft and who is of utmost professional and moral character. This book covers many of the technical areas while highlighting what it means to be an aviation professional.
Topics Covered in This Book
This manual covers a wide variety of topics relating to airline operations. The format and order of its content is centered on Advisory Circular (AC) 61-138, which was created by the FAA to outline the content required by the Airline Transport Pilot Certification Training Program (ATP-CTP). The ATP-CTP is ground, full flight simulator, and flight training device training that must be completed by an ATP applicant prior to taking the ATP written exam. Writt
