Advanced Aircrew Academy’s Winter Operations/Surface Contamination eLearning module updated
- September 29, 2015
Several hazards associated with flight operations in the winter, such as extreme cold temperatures, contaminated runways, and inflight and ground icing conditions, can require us to dust off those cold weather operating skills and knowledge.
Advanced Aircrew Academy has published an update to our Winter Operations module. What's new in the eLearning module for the 2015/2016 winter season?
Applying cold temperature corrections to certain instrument approaches has changed from being recommended to being mandatory. For more information, see the Let the Winter Games Begin blog post. Or, better yet, enroll in Advanced Aircrew Academy's Winter Operations / Surface Contamination eLearning module. The module has been updated with examples on how to apply the correction.
