attachment point. There are no screens on the vent
openings. The vent was cleared, and the left vent checked
and also cleared of similar debris (although not completely
closed), and the aircraft was returned to service…
The preflight will no longer rely on an operating test of the
fuel selector as the sole determinant of the condition of the
fuel tank vent system… A physical check of each vent is now
part of the preflight checklist.
A Plea for Taxi Practice
The FAA has made runway incursions a top safety
priority through its Runway Incursion Reduction
Program (RIRP), which now has its own Internet web
site at http://www.faa.gov/faa_office/rirp/. As part of
this effort, it is evaluating technology options that
show promise for helping to increase the safety of
aircraft and vehicle movement on the airport surface.
A General Aviation pilot involved in a runway
incursion recently submitted a suggestion to ASRS for
a taxi “trainer”:
I’ve just been involved in a runway incursion that
could have been very ugly, and it caused me to think
about the problem. Why did I do what I did? The
answer is simple – too little experience hearing and
responding to complex taxi instructions and seeing and
interpreting confusing airport signage. I feel more
comfortable in the air following a sectional and finding
a little airport than I do on the ground trying to find
taxiway “Charlie.”
So I was thinking about how to get more experience,
and the problems are clear. First, going to a seminar
(which I’ve done)…I was still lacking actual
experience. Second, if I’m going to use or rent a plane
at $75 or $100 an hour, I want to fly, not taxi. Third,
taxiing is hard on airplanes; plugs foul, tires and
brakes wear out, there is the risk of hitting something
with a wing, etc. As I was thinking about these
problems, a simple answer became clear – use a vehicle
for practice that is designed for taxiing and is cheap to
operate – use a CAR.
Why not put a nav/com [radio] in a car, put a…sign on
the top with flags and perhaps a strobe, and have
students, as well as seasoned pilots, “taxi” around the
airport under the direction of ground control and local
control. Students who haven’t received a taxi sign-off
would be required to have a CFI in the car with them…
The point here is that even if a pilot has 200 hours in
his logbook, he probably has fewer than 10 hours
taxiing… I know if such training had been available to
me, I would have used it.
The idea of a taxi trainer suggests other possibilities:
a taxi “simulator,” interactive computer-based
training aids, and training videotapes. As part of its
‘Back to Basics’ series, for example, the FAA has
made a 25-minute videotape, “Aircraft Surface
Movement,” which describes the appearance and
purpose of newly standardized signs at large airports.
The simplest solution of all: pilots new to controlled
airports should request progressive taxi instructions
on the first contact with ATC after landing, and
before taxi-out. Telling ATC, “We’re strangers here,”
can open the door to helpful service and avoid a
runway incursion incident.
It’s that spring-wonderful season of
the year when pilots brush the cobwebs
off their flying skills – and airplanes –
and vault joyfully into the blue. Only
(in a few unfortunate instances reported to ASRS) to suffer
engine fires, or fuel starvation, because the nesting habits of
small creatures went undetected during pre-flight. A Cessna
pilot titled this narrow escape from a merry mockingbird
couple, “Feathered Persistence”:
Preflight after maintenance. Noticed on walkup to
aircraft (C-210) something hanging down in front of the
right front cylinder. Bird’s nest. Pulled out sticks, grass,
bent safety wire and plastic ties – could not get it all.
Uncowled aircraft under the watchful eyes of 2
mockingbirds. Removed remainder of nest. Mechanic and I
recowled the aircraft and walked back to his office. Three
minutes later, I walked back out and noticed the flicker of a
tail inside the cowl. I shooed the bird out. Found more nest
material. Cleaned it out and walked around to the pilot’s
seat. While adjusting seat belt, the bird flew back inside.
How do you win this? I didn’t want to hurt the bird, so I left
fuel cut off and cranked the starter. Out flew the bird. I
primed and started up. The bird flew into the cowl of
