Notices to Airmen (NOTAMS)
Are time critical aeronautical information on aeronautical charts or other operational publications. These are considered essential to the safety of the flight, as well as supplemental data affecting other operational publications.
NOTAMS (EXAMPLES)
Hazards (parachute jumps)
Closed runways
Inoperable lights
Inoperable radio navigational aids
NOTAM D Information (examples and definition)
Information for airports, seaplane bases, and heliports (ground operations)
Examples:
Runway closures
Airport lighting aids
Taxiway closures
FDC NOTAMS
Regulatory Information that pertains to flight changes to charts, procedures, and airspace usage. (All Relevant to Airspace Needs)
Examples:
Airway structure changes
Temporary flight restrictions ( disaster areas, special events)
Laser Activity
Category of Airmen
Category of Aircraft
Airmen = used with the respect to the certifications, ratings, privileges and limitations of airmen (means a broad classification of aircraft)
Examples: airplane, rotorcraft, glider, and lighter-than-air
Aircraft = means a grouping of aircraft based upon intended use or operating limitations
Examples: normal, utility, acrobatic
Class of Airmen
Class of Aircraft
Airmen = a classification of aircraft within a category having similar OPERATING characteristics
Example: single engine, multi engine, land, gyro plane, helicopter, airship
Aircraft = a broad grouping of aircraft based on similar characteristics of propulsion, flight, or landing.
Example: airplane, rotorcraft, glider, balloon, land plane, and seaplane
Type of Airmen
Type of Aircraft
Airmen = a specific make and model of the aircraft
Example: 737 - 700, G-IV, 1900
Aircraft = those aircraft that are similar in design
Example: 737-700 and 737-700C; G-IV and G-IV-X; 1900 and 1900C
Pilot Privileges Defenition
Defines where, and when the pilot may fly, with whom they may fly, the purpose of the flight, and the type of aircraft they are allowed to fly.
Pilot Limitations Definition
the FAA may impose limitations on a pilot certificate if the pilot does not demonstrate (during the training or practical test) all skills to exercise all privileges of a certain flight level, category, class, or type rating.
Endorsements Definition and Examples
A form of authorization, which are written to establish that the certificate holder has received training in specific skill areas. These are written and signed by an authorized individual, usually a certificate flight instructor (CFI) and based on aircraft classification.
Examples:
Solo Endorsement
High Performance Endorsement
High Altitude Endorsement
Tail Wheel Aircraft Endorsement
Student Pilot General Limitations:
A Student Pilot MAY NOT: FAR 61.89 & 61.95
