Night missions require enhanced focus and precision, so our crews undergo specialised training to handle the unique challenges of operating at night with the use of night vision goggles (NVGs). One of the most critical aspects of night flying is mastering the transition from forward flight to a stable hover, as without clear visual references it’s easy to misjudge movement. To navigate this in complex terrain, a technique called “hand railing” is used to follow natural features like ridge lines or mountain tops to guide the aircraft safely into position. At The ACE Training Centre we also train to ensure each night mission is carefully planned by: - Conducting a detailed reconnaissance to assess wind conditions and potential obstacles - Identifying safe approach paths and escape routes - Practising winch manoeuvres, where precision is essential for both the crew and those on the ground.

Follow me for more!!! 1. **Guiding Landings**: PAPI is a visual aid used by pilots during landing to ensure they are on the correct glide path. It consists of a row of lights placed beside the runway, which change color depending on the aircraft's angle of approach, helping pilots maintain the right descent angle. 2. **Color Indicators**: The PAPI system uses four lights that can show either white or red. If a pilot sees more white lights, they are too high; more red lights indicate they are too low. The ideal glide path shows two red and two white lights, signaling the aircraft is on the correct approach angle. 3. **Different Systems**: There are two common types of PAPI systems- two-light and four-light. The four-light system is more precise, providing a finer indication of the aircraft's altitude relative to the correct glide path. The two-light version is used at smaller airports or in locations where space is limited. . **Global Standard**: PAPI systems are used worldwide and are a standard feature at many airports. They are crucial for safe landings, especially in poor visibility or challenging weather conditions, giving pilots a reliable visual cue to guide their approach. #aviation #PAPI #flightsafety #airporttechnology #pilottraining Credits: ig/ @likeflaps

DOING A CAA FI RATING ASSESSMENT ?? The CAA Chief Flight Examiner has announced the following subjects to be included in the instructor flight test (now the assessment of competence), whether for an initial, revalidation or renewal of an instructor rating (now certificate). The subject(s) will be reviewed each year and announced in the Spring version of TRAININGCOM to coincide with the start of the main flying season. The subject(s) for 2024 are to include:  Threat and Error Management appropriately, and: ·       Pre-flight planning with the emphasis on aeroplane performance. Focusing on both the theory and practical aspects appropriate to the aeroplane being flown. Also, include the understanding of content and applicability of NOTAMs and methods of conducting a pre-flight NOTAM brief using regulated Aeronautical Information.  ·       The use of Meteorological Service Information reference from source material. ·       DR Navigation Techniques. Focusing on the ‘HOW’ as well as the ‘WHAT’ the instructor teaches ‘DR Navigation’ to their student(s) using recognised methods, including methods of correcting errors. ·       Use of Moving Map Displays as back up rather than the primary source of navigation. ·       Procedures when operating within an Aerodrome Traffic Zone. (There have been several infringements and misunderstandings of the requirements of Rule 11 of the UK Rules of the Air Regulations 2015). ·       Air Traffic Services.  ·       The use of listening Squawks.

The Importance of Ground School in Aviation 🚀 Ready to take to the skies? Before you strap on those wings, let’s talk about the crucial first step: Ground School! Ground school is where aspiring pilots build a solid foundation of knowledge essential for real-world flying. Here’s why it matters: 📚 Knowledge is Power Ground school covers everything from aerodynamics and navigation to weather patterns and regulations. This comprehensive education equips students with the understanding they need to make informed decisions in the cockpit. ✈️ Real-World Application The theories learned in ground school are directly applicable to real-world flying. Understanding how to read weather reports, perform pre-flight checks, and navigate airspace ensures students are prepared for the challenges they’ll face in the sky. 🎓 FAA Exam Preparation Passing the FAA exams is a pivotal step in a pilot’s journey. Ground school provides the structured learning and practice needed to ace these tests. With expert instructors and resources at your disposal, you’ll gain confidence and competence in your flying abilities. 🌍 Safety First Safety is the top priority in aviation. Ground school emphasizes the importance of safety protocols, emergency procedures, and risk management, ensuring future pilots are well-prepared to handle any situation that may arise. Join the Journey! Whether you’re dreaming of soaring through the clouds or looking to enhance your skills, ground school is your launching pad. Let’s make your aviation dreams take flight! #Aviation #GroundSchool #PilotTraining #FlySafe #FAAExams #AviationEducation #FuturePilots #MarigoldAviation

Protecting Your Future in the Skies! Sounds figurative? Actually… it's quite literal. And here's why – Safe air operations require a permanent monitoring and assessment of possible infringements of control surfaces defined in ICAO Annex 14 OLS, PANS‐OPS Flight Procedure Design, and ICAO Euro Document 015 BRA. This process, called "safeguarding", facilitates the safe integration of new constructions around airports and air traffic management facilities, by ensuring that the envisaged structures do not penetrate the control surfaces. Thus, allowing aircraft to continue operating safely in the vicinity of airports, and allowing communication, navigation and surveillance (CNS) facilities to continue operating without interference. For airports and airlines "safeguarding" is an essential safety net for maintaining a safe operating environment. “Safeguarding” is carried out in the form of Aeronautical Studies and associated Safety Assessments. For stakeholders such as property developers, telecommunication providers, wind farm developers and others, safeguarding should be an integral part of the planning process. Failure to conduct aeronautical studies and safety assessments within the planning phase of a development can lead to costly delays. In instances where financial commitments have been made towards envisaged structures which are later found to impede aviation safety, the consequences of neglecting aeronautical studies within the planning phase could be catastrophic for organisations and their stakeholders. At Tsela Obstacle Safeguarding, we have combined 40 years of multidisciplinary aviation experience to assist the aviation industry and non-aviation stakeholders to harmonise plans and realise their interests without compromising safety. So quite literally, we protect your future in the skies – whether as a passenger in flight, or as a stakeholder of any construction project which interacts with the aviation industry. Make sure you integrate safeguarding in the planning phase of your next project! Let’s do it right – the first time! If you want to stay up-to-date with us, follow our Page.

FAA to Modernize Part 141 Flight School Regulations The FAA is set to modernize Part 141 pilot school regulations, with the first public meeting scheduled for March 6, 2025. This initiative aims to address certification challenges, embrace evolving technology and learning methods, and improve safety. Part 141 regulations, rooted in Civil Air Regulations from the 1940s, are due for an overhaul to align with contemporary aviation training needs. Stakeholder engagement is key, with the FAA encouraging collaboration through public meetings and written comments (deadline: March 21, 2025). This effort could shape the future of pilot training standards and safety. For more information about the meeting: https://bit.ly/3VXDN8s https://lnkd.in/eSgna8_x
