This is a chart that depicts Airspace classification and shows the different classes of Air profiles. This is a chart that depicts Airspace profile classification. It has "FL six hundred" marked on top of the chart centred to the width of the chart. Underneath that is a wide cylinder spanning the width of the chart and occupying about one-fifth of the height. This cylinder is marked with a heading "Airspace Classification on the left". Centered on it are the words, "Class A Eighteen thousand feet M S L". Underneath this are the different classes marked as cylinders from left to right. The first one on the extreme left reads "Class G Fourteen thousand feet M S L". Next to it on the right is a cylinder marked "Non-towered airport with instrument approach". On the right of this is another cylinder marked "One thousand two hundred feet A G L". Right of it is a cylinder marked "Seven hundred feet A G L Class G". Right of it are three cylinders piled one over the other. They are of increasing radius from the bottom to the top. They are marked "Class B". On the right of these are three small height cylinders that are lined up. All of them are marked "Class G" with two of them marked "Seven hundred feet A G L" and one marked "One thousand two hundred A G L". Next on right are two cylinders piled one over another with the smaller radius cylinder at the bottom. These are marked "Class C". On the right of these, there are two cylinders marked "Class G". One of them is "Seven hundred feet A G L" and another "One thousand Two hundred feet A G L". Right of these is a cylinder marked "Class D" and on the right is a short cylinder marked "Non-towered airport with instrument approach". Figure 2-1. Airspace profile. This is a chart that depicts Airspace profile classification. It has "FL six hundred" marked on top of the chart centred to the width of the chart.

This is an aeronautical chart of a prohibited area, P forty, around Camp David. This is a map depicting the prohibited area P-forty around Camp David. The map has camp David area in the center of the map. A circle is drawn around the Camp David area like a clock dial with minutes marked on it. Nearby towns like Thurmont, Smithsburg, Cavetown, Rouzerville, Cascade etc are shown on the map. A dotted line goes from the left to the right of the map about one fifths height from the top and is marked "Bittner-Whitsel seven hundred and sixty". Seveal contours, roads and other features of the map are present. The circular area marking the prohibited area is labelled "P-forty R-four thousand and nine". On the left hand bottom are the words "Warning Avoid Prohibited Area". On the right top is a caution message that reads "Caution Contact AFSS for latest flight restriction status and NOTAMs associated with P-forty and R-four thousand and nine". Figure 2-2. An example of a prohibited area, P-40 around Camp David. This is a map depicting the prohibited area P-forty around Camp David. The map has camp David area in the center of the map.

Similarly, a vertical line showing the demarcation from North to South is also runs almost on the whole of the map area. The demarcation at the bottom runs from the left to the right to half of the map area and is connected to an obtuse angled line that goes up from the bottom demarcation line at nearly a thirty degree angle. The end of this line is connected to the top demarcation line with another vertical line running parallel to the edge of the map. There is another demarcation line running diagonally from the top left to the bottom right of the M O A. On the top left hand corner is a circular area. Inside the M O A periphery, some Military Operations Areas are marked. They are Camden Ridge M O A, Pine Hill West M O A, and Pine Hill East M O A. Figure 2-5.

This is an illustration showing the turbulence and airflows in a mountainous region. The image depicts air currents and turbulence in mountainous regions. The illustration has three mountains from the left to the right. The one in the middle is the highest with the one on the left-most being of medium size and the right-most one being the smallest mountain. An air-current is shown with several thick arrows and is shown to move from the left to the right. The air current is parallel to the ground when it passes over the medium sized mountain on the left extreme and continues to be stream-lined when it rises over the large mountain in the middle. After passing over the larger middle mountain, the air current is shown to become turbulent with multiple thick arrows pointing in different directions before reaching the smaller mountain. A couple of clouds are also depicted along with mountains at a distance in the background. Figure 3-3. Turbulence in mountainous regions.

The illustration demonstrates the scanning techniques to be adopted by a pilot. This shows how pilots should scan the field of view. To scan effectively, pilots must look from right to left or left to right. They should begin scanning at the greatest distance an object can be perceived (top) and move inward toward the position of the aircraft (bottom). The image shows two mountainous terrain on the left and right and greenery in the middle at a distance. There is a thick arrow pointing from left marked as one to the right on the top marked as two and another thick arrow pointing from top marked two to bottom marked as three. From three a left pointing arrow moves to the point marked four. A few mountains and some clouds are also depicted in the background. Figure 9-2. Scanning techniques.

This image shows the two types of decision making recognized worldwide. This has two flow charts shown side by side. The left one shows the Analytical method and the right one shows the Automatic/Naturalistic method. The steps in the Analytical method depicted in the flow chart are Situation, detection, Evaluation of event, outcome desired, the different solutions that you get there from Solution A to Solution D, the best action to do, effect of the decision. If the problem remains, the process should be repeated, otherwise, it will be done. On the right pane is the depiction of the Automatic/Naturalistic method.
