Manual of Military Aviation


Book Description

Excerpt from Manual of Military Aviation: Prepared for the Use of Personnel of Aircraft Troops of the Army, National Guard and Reserve Corps; Officers of the Army, National Guard and Reserve Corps; Members of Military Training Camps; And Airmen in General The events of the past few years have clearly demonstrated that a strong and well organized air service is a vital accessory of the modern military machine. Without an efficient air service, an army is blind and impotent against an adversary so equipped. The strength of an effective air service is measured in thousands of properly manned aircraft, organized into properly balanced military aircraft units. This presumes an aircraft industry organized to meet every demand, and an extensive system of aircraft arsenals, depots, training bases and flying stations. A highly trained, specialized personnel must be provided for the air service. Mechanical or technical training, knowledge and experience are essential. The value of supplementing such train ing by suitable theoretical instruction cannot be gainsaid. This manual is intended for use as a textbook, and as a refer ence work, for such theoretical instruction. The subject matter of the manual is based on rules, regulations and practice existing in the Aviation Section of the United States Army and upon common practice followed in foreign aviatic organizations.

Army Aviation: Field Manual (Fm) 3-04


Book Description

Field Manual (FM) 3-04 (29 July 2015), Army Aviation is the Army's capstone doctrinal publication for conducting aviation operations. Its purpose is to provide the context for employing and integrating Army aviation into unified land operations. FM 3-04 provides a foundation for subordinate training doctrine, professional military education, leader development, and individual and collective training. FM 3-04 uses joint terms where applicable. Selected joint and Army terms and definitions appear in both the glossary and the text. Terms for which FM 3-04 is the proponent publication (the authority) are italicized in the text and are marked with the asterisk (*) in the glossary. Definitions for which FM 3-04 is the proponent publication are boldfaced in the text. For terms used in this text but defined in other publications, the term is italicized and the number of the proponent publication follows the definition. This FM applies to the active Army, Army National Guard (ARNG)/Army National Guard of the United States, and United States Army Reserve (USAR) unless otherwise stated.

Instrument Flight for Army Aviators (Tc 3-04.5)


Book Description

Training Circular (TC) 3-04.5, "Instrument Flight for Army Aviators," is specifically prepared for aviators authorized to fly Army aircraft. This manual presents the fundamentals, procedures, and techniques for instrument flying and air navigation. TC 3-04.5 presents fundamentals, procedures, and techniques for instrument flying that are essential to the effective conduct of military operations and creates the ability to enable commanders to make risk decisions in less than optimal weather while preserving combat power. This publication is written for Army Aircrews to develop a fundamental understanding of knowledge and skills necessary to operate in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC). TC 3-04.5 is an excellent reference for Army aircrews; however, it cannot be expected that this training circular is all inclusive or a full comprehension of the information will be obtained by simply reading the text. TC 3-04.5 facilitates adherence to Army regulation (AR) 95-1 by providing guidance and procedures for standard Army instrument flying. Aircraft flight instrumentation and mission objectives are varied, making instruction general for equipment and detailed for accomplishment of maneuvers. Guidance found in this manual is both technique and procedure oriented. Aircraft operator manuals provide the detailed instructions required for particular aircraft instrumentation or characteristics. When used with related flight directives and publications, this publication provides adequate guidance for instrument flight under most circumstances but is not a substitute for sound judgment; circumstances may require modification of prescribed procedures. Aircrew members charged with the safe operation of United States Army, Army National Guard (ARNG), or United States Army Reserve (USAR) aircraft must be knowledgeable of the guidance contained herein. This manual applies to all military, civilian, and/or contractor personnel who operate Army aircraft, and is designed as a technical reference for Army aviators who operate under instrument flight rules (IFR) in the National Airspace System (NAS) and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

This manual applies to all military, civilian, and/or contractor personnel who operate Army aircraft, and adherence to its general practices is mandatory.The Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) published by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is not regulatory; however, the AIM provides information that reflects examples of operating techniques and procedures required in other regulations. AIM is not binding on Army aircrews. Furthermore, the AIM contains some techniques and procedures not consistent with Army mission requirements, regulatory guidance, waivers, exemptions, and accepted techniques and procedures. However, AIM is the accepted standard for civil aviation and reflects general techniques and procedures used by other pilots. Much of the information contained in this manual is reproduced from AIM and adapted for Army use. If a subject is not covered in this manual or other Army regulations, follow guidance in the AIM unless mission requirements dictate otherwise. All figures and tables that display partial or complete navigational excerpts from other publications (such as instrument approach charts, legends, and low-altitude en route charts) are provided for reference only and should not be used in planning for or the conduct of any flight.Please note: The interior of this book is in black and white.
