Private Pilot Emergencies

Has a Ballistic Recovery System ever been used in a real life situation other than testing successfully?

Has anyone ever deployed a BRS in an emergency that resulted in a successful deployment that saved the aircraft? In theory it sounds like an outstanding system but I am perplexed with situations like the probability of successful deployment during an inverted spin or a stall transitioning to a spin. I am a private pilot and suffered from Menieres disease which resulted in bouts of severe vertigo and have recently undergone surgery to correct the problem and I am looking into systems like these as kind of a safe guard for the future.

Quite a few BRS parachutes have been succesfully used in emergency situations. Quite a few have also been deployed when there was no need, in cases where the pilot still had control and could and should have made a normal emergency landing, or when a pilot foolishly put himself in a bad situatioon, relying on the BRS to save him.

Once the parachute is deployed, the pilot is a passenger, at the mercy of the winds. Even though the occupants most likely won't be injured, the aircraft is nearly always a total writeoff.

Private Pilot $14.03 The Practical Test Standards (PTS) series guides student pilots, flight instructors, and FAA-designated examiners through checkrides, the final test in acquiring a pilot license. Each PTS guide details the skill and knowledge that must be successfully demonstrated before an examiner can issue a certificate or rating. The knowledge requirements detail which subjects will be covered--which weather reports and forecasts candidates will be asked to analyze, which physiological conditions (such as dehydration, spatial disorientation, and hypoxia) candidates will need to discuss, and what kind of flight planning exercises will need to be demonstrated. The skill requirements include what kind of takeoff and landing must be performed, such as crosswind or short-field; how a steep turn should be executed, with specifics that include what bank angle and airspeed to use; and what areas will be tested on a continuous basis, such as the checklist usage, positive exchange of flight controls, and crew resource management. The tolerances are defined so the candidates know what altitude, airspeed, headings, and banks must be maintained to complete each maneuver successfully. Each PTS guide lists the knowledge and experience prerequisites for a particular certificate or rating and provides background information and study and reference materials. This replaces 1560273151.

Topics such as basic aerodynamics, flight instruments, communication procedures, and weather are discussed and augmented with checklists, mnemonic devices, specific tips, and special learning techniques that help students quickly grasp the information, pass the required tests and checkrides, and have an operational and practical understanding of the private-pilot certificate. Each chapter concludes with sample questions taken directly from FAA exams.

Private Pilot Licence $73.28 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A Private Pilot Licence (PPL) or, in the United States of America, a Private Pilot Certificate, is a licence that permits the holder to act as the pilot of an aircraft privately (not for pay). The requirements to obtain the license are determined by the International Civil Aviation Authority (ICAO), but the actual implementation varies widely from country to country. According to the ICAO, it is obtained by successfully completing a course with at least 40 hours (45 in the UK and Spain) of flight time, passing a written exam, completing an extensive solo cross country flight (minimum solo flight time is 10 hours), and successfully demonstrating flying skills to an examiner during a flight test or checkride (including an oral exam). In the US pilots can be trained under Title 14 of federal code part 141 which allows them to apply for their certificate in as little as 35 hours. However, most pilots require 6070 hours of flight time to complete training. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

Managing Emergencies and Crises $37.95 As the scale, frequency, and intensity of crises faced by the world have dramatically increased over the last decade, there is a critical need for a careful evaluation of knowledge of managing disasters. Managing Emergencies and Crises presents the experience of emergency management from a continental perspective by focusing on the emergency response systems, processes, and actors in the context of the United States and Europe. It explores the institutional, socio-cultural and political aspects of crisis response and management. Your students will examine questions such as: What does the experience of disaster response from Japan, Pakistan, Greece and Turkey to the UK and US tell us about the state-civil society cooperation in such environments? How effective are the existing prevention and preparedness mechanisms to protect societies against disasters? What specific roles are attributed to state, federal, international and private sector participants at a rhetorical level and how those actors actually carry out their ‘responsibilities’ and work with each other in the event of a crisis?

The Complete Private Pilot By Gardner, Bob $28.24 Taking and passing an FAA Knowledge Exam is required for earning the Private Pilot, Sport Pilot, and Recreational Pilot certificates. Using the FAA exam as the premise for learning, Gardner applies practical information so readers are not only prepared for the tests, but also for the cockpit. He augments the required aeronautical knowledge by giving specific tips and techniques, checklists and mnemonic devices, and sound advice from personal experience. A fullcolor foldout example of a sectional chart is provided inside the back cover for use with the numerous interactive exercises throughout the book. Each chapter lists useful aviation website links, and concludes with sample questions taken directly from the FAA tests. A comprehensive glossary and index are included as well. Included throughout the book are internet links for weather charts, flight planning, etc., and a color section shows examples of online weather sources and more. This new 11th edition also incorporates the FAAs latest initiative, the FITS (FAA/Industry Training Standards), including scenariobased training, singlepilot resource management, and learnercentered grading. With Gardners approachable yet concise writing style, readers are able to quickly grasp the subjects, pass the required tests and checkrides, and gain an operational understanding of flight they can take straight to the cockpit. The Complete Private Pilot works as a companion textbook to ASAs Virtual Test Prep DVD course for Private Pilot. An integrated Flight/Ground Syllabus for both Part 141 and 61 programs is also available to accompany the textbook.

My Private Pilot License Day 4: Emergencies & RV's



Can a passenger of a small plane assume PIC and fly IFR in a non-emergency situation?

Lets say two friends go flying in a Cessna 172. The PIC, in the left seat, is a recently licensed private pilot taking his friend for a flight. For whatever reason, the friend sitting in the right seat, who has his commercial, multi, and IFR ratings, wants to go in cloud. Can he assume PIC and file IFR in the air from the right seat?

In an emergency situation, screw the rules, the guy who knows how to fly IFR will take over as opposed to the private license guy flying the plane into the ground! But in a non-emergency situation can it be legally done? Perhaps if the guy in the right seat also had his flight instructor rating?
To dallenmarket: To answer your question, it's just a theoretical question. Sometimes weather gets worse than forecast. Sometimes pilots don't have a backup plan. So I was just curious, rather than declare an emergency or scud-run or fly low to the ground, why not just use the person next to you?

Yes, the seat position does not determine who is PIC.
The PIC can be switched at any time in the flight.

EDIT: Provided the pilot in the right seat has proper certificate and ratings, a current medical, current BFR, and instrument currency. If the right seat pilot is an instructor, a current medical is not necessary. (Of course, the airplane must be IFR certified and a VOR check must have been done within the previous 30 days.)

This is the same situation as flying actual IFR with an instructor during instrument training. The instructor sits in the right seat, but is still PIC because the student is not Instrument rated, as long as they are in actual IFR. Since the student is not IFR rated, he can not log PIC time, but CAN log instrument time and 'Dual Received'.

As a rule of thumb, you can't be PIC if you are not rated, certified, or have an endorsement for the flight operation in question.

EDIT: Thanks Malibu, for the clarification and the link. You are absolutely right. I was thinking of a different scenario.
