Back to Basics
Back to Basics - Series 3 Lesson 9
We wind up this part of our Back to Basics series by completing our prepared night flight and deal with some unexpected emergencies.
Back to Basics - Series 3 Lesson 8
In this lesson, we wind up our night flying training by preparing for a cross-country navigation exercise while learning how to handle any surprises that may occur along the way.
Back to Basics - Series 3 Lesson 7
In this lesson, Peter Stark talks about how to safely fly circuits and landings at night, which is one of the key skills learnt by any pilot as it combines a variety of manoeuvres in a compact physical area in a short space of time.
Back to Basics - Series 3, Lesson 6
In this lesson, we continue to develop our instrument night flying skills and learn how and when to use the flight, engine and navigation instruments when the weather or visibility makes visual flight more difficult.
Back to Basics - Series 3, Lesson 5
Having thoroughly explored the spatial and visual illusions that night pilots are subjected to, we can turn to more practical skills using flight simulators and start to learn some flying techniques that the professionals use when they venture out after dark.
Back to Basics - Series 3, Lesson 4
In this lesson, Peter Stark looks at sensory illusions and teaches us some piloting techniques to stay out of trouble.
Back to Basics - Series 3, Lesson 3
One of the biggest challenges that pilots face when transitioning to night visual flying is identifying visual and spatial illusions that may lead to disaster. In this tutorial, we learn that the key to flying well at night is to understand and anticipate these illusions and react accordingly.
Back to Basics - Series 3, Lesson 2
Having developed an understanding of what is ‘night’ and how some human senses can mislead an unsuspecting pilot, we now familiarise ourselves with aircraft and airfield lighting.
Back to Basics - Series 3, Lesson 1
In this new series, Peter Stark turns to the next phase of flying that may attract GA pilots – visual night flying. During this series, he explores the challenges of flying at night and demonstrates how to use flight simulators to practice the skills you may need.
Back to Basics - Series 2, Lesson 13
In the previous lesson, we realised that we were not where we should be. The visual fixes we were expecting to mark our location simply didn’t appear. We wrap up Stage 2 of Back to Basics by learning how we might get ourselves out of this very fine mess.
