The High Altitude Flight Path Management course covers critical elements necessary for managing flight at high altitudes and ensuring safe and efficient operations in complex environments:
- Atmospheric Characteristics at High Altitudes: Understand the changes in atmospheric pressure, temperature, and density with altitude. Learn how these factors impact aircraft performance and engine efficiency.
- Interaction of Automation: Explore the role of automated systems in high-altitude flight, including flight management systems (FMS), autopilot, and auto-throttle. Understand the potential risks of over-reliance on automation.
- Degradation of Fly-by-Wire Flight Control Laws: Learn about the different flight control laws (normal, alternate, direct) in fly-by-wire aircraft. Study how high-altitude conditions or system failures can cause a degradation of these laws and impact aircraft handling characteristics.
- Stall Recovery Procedures: Master the recognition of stall indications at high altitudes and understand the specific techniques for recovering from a high-altitude stall. Learn the importance of maintaining proper energy management to avoid entering a stall situation.
- Transferring Manual Control of the Aircraft: Develop skills in manually controlling the aircraft during high-altitude operations, especially in scenarios where automated systems are unavailable or unreliable. Learn how to transition smoothly from automated to manual flight to maintain safe operations.
