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.

Airline Transport Pilot

Introduction

ATP CTP History On February 12, 2009, a Colgan Air Bombardier Dash-8 Q400 operating as Conti-nental 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 f light crew’s failure to monitor airspeed in relation to the rising position of the low-speed cue, (2) the f light crew’s failure to adhere to sterile cockpit procedures, (3) the captain’s failure to effectively manage the f light, 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 acci-dent 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 Rulemak-ing 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 Transpor-tation & 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 multidisci-plinary panel to report on stick pusher and weather event training.
