Chapter 2: Ground Operations

Introduction

 

Experienced pilots place a strong emphasis on ground operations as this is where safe flight begins and ends.

 

They know that hasty ground operations diminish their margin of safety.

 

A smart pilot takes advantage of this phase of flight to assess various factors including the regulatory requirements, the pilot’s readiness for pilot-in-command (PIC) responsibilities, the airplane’s condition, the flight environment, and any external pressures that could lead to inadequate control of risk.

 

 

 

Flying an airplane presents many new responsibilities not required for other forms of transportation.

 

Focus is often placed on the flying portion itself with less emphasis placed on ground operations.

 

However pilots need to allow time for flight preparation.

 

Situational awareness begins during preparation and only ends when the airplane is safely and securely returned to its tie-down or hangar, or if a decision is made not to go.

 

This chapter covers the essential elements for the regulatory basis of flight including:

 

1. An airplane’s airworthiness requirements,

 

2. Important inspection items when conducting a preflight visual inspection,

 

3. Managing risk and resources, and

 

4. Proper and effective airplane surface movements using the AFM/POH and airplane checklists.
