Cockpit Secrets

“Flying is much safer than you might think.”

A 2 hour documentary about challenging situations and emergencies performed in a special flight simulator with real pilots.

DETAILS AND CONTENTS:

See an amazing 737NG cockpit based on FS2004 in action!

Using a special, full-size Boeing 737NG cockpit and with the participation of real world pilots, Cockpit Secrets features simulated situations that you can never (or very rarely) see on real flights or in other cockpit videos. The documentary explains that there are precise procedures for virtually every emergency, and flying remains absolutely safe - even in case of failures or challenging weather conditions.

Thanks to the simple narration and over 30 animated illustrations, Cockpit Secrets can be enjoyed and understood by anyone, and there is no doubt that those interested in aviation and flight simulators will also find this documentary absolutely fascinating.

CONTENTS OF THE DOWNLOADABLE VERSION:

Introduction
The Simulator and the Pilots
Crosswind
Landing in Fog (a CAT IIIb approach)
Going Around
Aborted Takeoff
Engine Fire (after V1)
Problems in the Wheel Well (plus alternate flap extension)

A320 A330 A340 Airbus ECAM Trainer

What is ECAM?

ECAM (Electronic Centralised Aircraft Monitoring) is at the heart of every modern Airbus aircraft. ECAM monitors all aircraft systems and alerts pilots to any malfunction, giving the actions required to resolve the situation. This powerful system requires pilots to have a thorough understanding of its operation and a high level of experience and discipline to ensure a successful outcome is achieved during abnormal conditions.

How are ECAM skills usually acquired?

A significant number of Fixed Base and Full Flight Simulator (FFS) sessions are spent developing and maintaining the required exposure to ECAM; the majority of time without needing the full suite of simulator functionality.

Voo ETOPS

O ETOPS é um acrônimo para “Extended-Range Twin-Engine Operational Performance Standards”. ETOPS é uma regra da OACI (Organização da Aviação Civil Internacional) que permite a operação de aeronaves bi-motoras de transporte de passageiros a operar em rotas, que em alguns pontos, estão localizadas a mais de 60 minutos de um aeroporto de alternativa em caso de falha de um dos motores.

Advanced Avionics Handbook

This handbook is designed as a technical reference for pilots who operate aircraft with advanced avionics systems. Whether flying a conventional aircraft that features a global positioning system (GPS) navigation receiver or a new  aircraft with the latest integrated “glass cockpit” advanced avionics system, you should find this handbook helpful in getting started. The arrival of new technology to general aviation aircraft has generated noticeable changes in three areas: information, automation, and options.

Pilots now have an unprecedented amount of information available at their fingertips. Electronic flight instruments use innovative techniques to determine aircraft attitude, speed, and altitude, presenting a wealth of information in one or more integrated presentations. A suite of cockpit information systems provides pilots with data about aircraft position, planned route, engine health and performance, as well as surrounding weather, traffic, and terrain.

Aerodinâmica, Flap, Slat e Camber

A aerodinâmica é o estudo do movimento de fluidos gasosos, relativo às suas propriedades e características, e às forças que exercem em corpos sólidos neles imersos.

De uma forma geral, a aerodinâmica, como ciência específica, só passou a ganhar importância industrial com o surgimento dos aviões e dos automóveispois estes precisavam se locomover tendo o menor atrito possível com o ar pois assim seriam mais rápidos e gastariam menos combustível.

TCAS II / ACAS II Collision Avoidance System User’s Manual

This manual applies to systems which are compliant to RTCA DO185A MOPS Change 7.0 and RTCA “DO-185” MOPS Change 6.04a. These systems are referred to as TCAS II (Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System) in the United States and ACAS II (Airborne Collision Avoidance System) internationally. The terminology is used interchangeably and, for the purpose of discussion, TCAS II will be the terminology used in this manual.
