Situational awareness is the process whereby the pilot gathers data from his or her own senses via sight hearing smell taste touch and feel could pilot the eyes and ears are the primary sensors—although control feel and “seat of the pants” are important

cues for aircraft control and addition to direct sight and sound the eyes and ears are used to gather information from the instruments radios and w " rms so that the pilot can build and maintain can awareness of position time fuel weather traf Ac and aircraft status Corom these data the pilot can prioritize the importance of the information anticipate trends assess the need for urgency and make decisions he primary task of being the pilot in command is decision making he quality of the decision depends upon the quality completeness and timeliness of the data—and is affected by pilot aptitude training fatigue stress and personality

Access to Flight

Integrated Private and Instrument Curriculum

Whether you fly for pleasure, business, or a career in aviation, the Private Pilot certificate with the Instrument Rating is your ticket into the full spectrum of the airspace system—it is the key to maximizing the utility of a general aviation aircraft. This book provides everything you need to know to safely fly a Technical Advanced Aircraft (TAA) in both Visual Flight Rules (VFR) and Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). The combined curriculum provides efficient training methodology that helps you graduate with a truly successful personal transportation solution.

The most comprehensive pilot textbook available, Access to Flight covers all of the aeronautical knowledge and skill needed to earn your license and rating using today's glass cockpit technologies: from aerodynamics to navigation and meteorology, to the actual maneuvers flown in the air—illustrated with over 800 full-color drawings and photographs.

Get a solid foundation for your pilot certificate in real-world applications, with procedures and tips that can only be gleaned from experts! Access to Flight comes from the same team of aviation writers for The Pilot's Manual Series. Foreword by Cirrus Design co-founders Alan and Dale Klapmeier.
