BRYAN Director, Institute of Aviation University of Illinois Organizing for Flight Operations M*n 25 1955 UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS UBLISHED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS, URBANA 1954 Foreword The University of Illinois has been actively interested in aviation for a long period of time dating at least from World War I. During World War II that interest increased and culminated in the establishment of the Institute of Aviation in 1945 which, among its various activities, con- ducts aeronautical research, flight training, and subprofessional technical aviation courses for students of the University. The Link Foundation, recognizing the pioneering experience of the Institute of Aviation, provided a grant to the University of Illinois Foundation for use by the Institute in order to prepare and publish information about its program believing that the compilation of this information might be valuable to other institutions and to other segments of the aviation industry considering the establishment of similar activities. This bulletin, the second of five such publications, attempts to give the basic information necessary to organize and operate a flight training curriculum. Other bulletins published under The Link Foundation grant cover the organization of a college-level aircraft and engine maintenance curriculum, the operation of a university airport, including essential facts and figures about repair and maintenance services, the organization of an aviation ground school, and the organization of an aircraft repair and maintenance unit. While the aim has been to provide sources of general information, there is frequent reference to the aviation program of the University of Illinois for illustrative purposes. In the preparation of the material for this bulletin, Mr. Jesse W. Stonecipher, Chief Flight Instructor of the Institute of Aviation staff, has been most helpful. In this monograph, as in all publications of the Institute, the author has had complete freedom to express his opinions, with the understanding that he will assume sole responsibility therefor.

As indicated on the organization chart, these activities are broadly divided into two cate- gories: (1) operations and (2) flight training. Operations is a service anit; flight training is a teaching unit. The following chart shows the line >rganization and staff within each unit. FLIGHT OPERATIONS Chief Flight Instructor and Co-assistant Airport Manager (1) Operations Office Flight Training Office Chief Lineman (1) Operations Clerks (2) Charter Pilots (3) Flight Instructors (4) Lineman (5) Temporary Flight Instructors (5) OPERATIONS OFFICE The operations office handles (1) line service to itinerant and sched- uled aircraft, (2) the sale of gasoline, oil, and other products, (3) hangar space on a rental basis, (4) aircraft rental to students and staff members, (5) charter air service for the University faculty and staff, (6) aerial photography, and (7) other miscellaneous activities. Chartering and renting aircraft, sales, service, and information are handled at the operations desk. At tin University of Illinois Airport, the operations office is under the supervision of the chief flight instructor, who also acts as the co-assistant ..it port manager. It employs two operations clerks, six linemen, and three flight instructors whose primary duties are charter flying. The office is kepi open 21 hours every day in the year by having the clerks on an alternating shift for week ends and the linemen on rotating shifts covering ,i 24-hour period. It also serves as the coordinating agency with othci units ol the University in matters involving flight. Very (lose coordination between the flight-operations staff and th< field-maintenance and air< raft-maintenance groups is necessary. The operations office becomes a reporting agency on such things as runway defects, malfunctioning of field lighting, and needed aircraft repairs. Supplies and equipment — In an operation such as that at the Uni- versity of Illinois Airport, the following supplies and equipment should be available for use by the office personnel: 3 filing cases 2 or 3 desks and chairs 1 sales-ticket machine 1 adding machine 1 cash drawer or register 2 typewriters These involve an investment of $1,600 upwards. It is well to remember that equipment and supplies can be built up over a period of time thus decreasing the amount of the original investment necessary to start operations. The following additional equipment is desirable : 1 Unicom station if there is no C.A.A. tower on the field 1 radio receiver tunable between 200-400 kc. for weather reports 1 wind-dial (wind direction and velocity indicator) 1 wall map composed of aeronautical sectional charts 1 mobile gas truck 1 combination crash truck and fire truck 12 miscellaneous tools (screw drivers, pliers, etc.) for linemen's use 12 flashlights (if 24-hour service is available) 6 checkered flags for vehicles used on the aeronautical-use areas 2 loading ramps for large aircraft 1 tug for large aircraft 1 auxiliary power unit for aid in starting aircraft 1 portable engine preheater if required by climatic conditions 1 showcase for display of materials for resale to itinerants (maps, log- books, goggles, etc.) The estimated cost of the above would run $8,000 upwards. Office space — An operations office should be large enough to accom- modate at least two desks, filing cabinets, and other miscellaneous office equipment. It is desirable to have a waiting room, or transient pilot lounge, of reasonable size to accommodate a wall map and a rack for an Airman's Guide, an Airport Directory, a Transient Register, a Flight Information Manual, Jeppesen Manuals, weather information board, etc. The minimum space recommended for an operations office of this type is 30 feet by 20 feet. Transient pilots seek weather and navigation information in the flight planning room. It is also desirable to provide office and desk space for the linemen. This space should be convenient to the ramp area and should be large enough to accommodate the linemen and the small equipment necessary to line service (not including loading ramps, gas trucks, etc.). The mini- mum space recommended is approximately 15 feet by 10 feet. Ramp or line area — An adequate ramp or tie-down area will vary considerably, depending upon the number of airplanes using the field. Some form of permanent tie-downs must be provided in this parking area. A regular check of these areas should be included in the lineman's a< tivities. Delegation of responsibility — In view of the many and varied services performed by operations office personnel, it is imperative that the duties and areas of responsibility be specifically set forth. The only completely satisfactory solution is to provide written instructions for all personnel. CHIEF FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR Under the Director of the Institute of Aviation, the chief flight in- stru< tor is responsible for ( 1 ) planning, organizing, and administering all flight-training courses, (2) supervising all nontraining flight activities, (3) providing service, assistance, and advice, through the operations office, to transient and field-based pilots, and (4) assisting in the routine management of the airport. A baccalaureate degree, or higher, from a recognized college or uni- versity, preferably in education or commerce, is desirable. The C.A.A. commercial, flight instructor, and instrument ratings are mandatory. It is also desirable that the chief flight instructor have the following other qualifications: extensive experience in flight instruction; extensive prac- tical experience in aerial navigation and meteorology, including ele- mentary forecasting; elementary knowledge of radio and experience with various aircraft radios; thorough knowledge of civil air regulations; some supervisory experience; ability to deal harmoniously with faculty, stu- dents, and the general public; mature judgment; knowledge of efficient office procedures; tact; dependability; and a pleasing personality. Salaries for a chief flight instructor range from $500 monthly upwards, depending upon the experience desired and the size of the operation. FLIGHT INSTRUCTORS Under the direction of the chief flight instructor, the flight instructors give that part of the courses involving flight and are responsible for such other duties as may be assigned. Flight instructors should possess a baccalaureate degree from a recog- nized college or university, as well as the C.A.A. commercial, flight instructor, and instrument ratings, and experience in flight instruction. The following other qualifications are also desirable: C.A.A. ground instructor ratings ; ability to deal harmoniously with faculty, students, and the general public; good judgment; a pleasing personality; and a good personal appearance. Salaries for flight instructors range from $350 monthly upwards. CHARTER PILOTS Under the chief flight instructor, the charter pilots (1) act as pilots for the charter aircraft, (2) promote the utility aspect of aviation, (3) oc- casionally instruct students, and (4) perform flight duties incidental to research problems in aviation. Qualifications for the charter pilot should include the following: a baccalaureate degree from a recognized college or university; C.A.A. commercial, flight instructor, and instrument ratings; extensive experi- ence in all phases of cross-country flying; extensive knowledge of aerial m 4 : - m An Aviation 101 student simulating flight in a School Link. navigation, elementary weather forecasting, radio procedures, and both instrument and visual flight rules; some knowledge of and appreciation for acceptable research techniques; mature judgment; pleasing person- ality: ability to handle delicate flight situations with tact; and a good personal appearance. The salary range for charter pilots starts at $450 monthly. CHIEF LINEMAN I Fnder the general supervision of the chief flight instructor, the chief lineman supervises and is responsible for the performance of duties inci- dental to tin moving, parking, and servicing of aircraft, including wash- im" and minor mechanical maintenance work. He supervises and trains linemen and assists in the preparation of their schedules. He acts for the « hiel flighl instructor in his absence in matters relating to line operations and assists the linemen in the performance of such duties as the follow- in": moving aircrafl in and out of hangars; directing incoming aircraft to ervice pits: fueling gas tanks; (leaning windshields; recording and 10 collecting for gas and oil sales; guiding transient aircraft to tie-downs; doing routine work on aircraft flight lines; guarding and protecting air- port buildings and aircraft; and aiding transient flyers. He also performs any related duties which may be assigned to him. The chief lineman should be a high-school graduate and have super- visory ability and experience. Preferably, he should have two years of experience as a lineman. Starting salaries for chief linemen are about $300 monthly. LINEMEN Under the direct supervision of the chief lineman, the linemen per- form the duties incidental to the moving, parking, and servicing of aircraft, including washing and minor mechanical maintenance work. They move aircraft in and out of hangars, direct incoming aircraft to service pits, fuel gas tanks, clean windshields, record and collect for gas and oil sales, direct transient aircraft to tie-downs, do routine work as assigned on aircraft flight lines, guard and protect airport buildings and aircraft, aid transient flyers, and perform related duties as assigned. The lineman should be a high-school graduate with a pleasing per- sonality and a willingness to serve. Monthly salaries for linemen range from $250 upwards. OPERATIONS CLERKS Under the general supervision of the chief flight instructor, the opera- tions clerks are responsible for varied and complex clerical work involving the exercise of independent judgment. They supervise and direct the work of a small or moderate-sized clerical unit, compile data for reports, code, classify, file, and direct the filing of all materials in the filing system, give out information as approved by the supervisor, answer routine in- quiries, assist in the preparation and maintenance of records, including tabulations and the posting of data in various record books, control admission of visitors, operate office machines as required and instruct others in the operation of such machines, prepare materials for mailing, handle cash and other valuables, keep expenditures and income accounts which may include the auditing, vouchering, and scheduling of invoices, payrolls, and expense accounts, and perform related duties as assigned. The operations clerk should be a high-school graduate with business training, and should have clerical and typing ability as well as one year of clerical experience. Salaries for operations clerks range from $175 upwards. Flight Training FLIGHT OFFICE Office space — The flight training office should provide sufficient space for desks and lockers for each permanent flight instructor. A ready room for instructor-student meetings and conferences should also be provided in an area which is convenient to the flight instructors' office. The ready room should be large enough to accommodate all flight gear, parachutes, handiphones, airplane control records, student flight records, bulletin boards, conference tables, airport diagrams, and other items necessary and incidental to flight training. If possible, a Link trainer room should also be located in close proximity to the flight office. Approximately 100 square feet per instructor should be allowed for the flight office and 800 square feet for the ready room, assuming that parachutes, logbooks, and sign-out clip boards are kept there and the student load is ten to fifteen students an hour. Supplies and equipment — The following supplies and equipment should be available in the flight training office: 1 desk and chair for each permanent flight instructor 1 locker for each permanent flight instructor 1 intercom system for each flight instructor ( handiphone or its equivalent) * 1 conference table and 4 chairs 1 filing cabinet for student logbooks 2 or 3 filing cabinets for mimeographed material 1 typewriter 1 bulletin board 1 aeronautical wall chart 1 parachute rack 2 parachutes of an approved type for each flight instructor 1 duplicating machine The total cost of similar supplies and equipment will run from $1,200 upwards. Like other supplies and equipment, the above can be acquired over a period of time. AIRCRAFT REQUIREMENTS A complete flight program — private, commercial, flight instructor, and instrument should provide sufficient airplanes to meet the re- quirements of Civil Aeronautics Manual 50 (C.A.M. 50). This manual i obtainable from the nearest district office of the Civil Aeronautics 12 The University of Illinois owns and operates a fleet of 37 aircraft. Administration or from the C.A.A.'s Washington office. Minor changes are made periodically in these requirements, so the latest edition should be consulted. C.A.M. 50 lists only the minimum requirements in this regard. It is desirable to provide as wide a variety of aircraft makes, in the lightplane category, as possible. In general, C.A.M. 50 states that an approved school should meet the following aircraft requirements: "Private pilot course: (1) At least one airplane for every 15 students; (2) the airplane must be capable of carrying two persons and two parachutes without exceeding the gross weight limitations of the air- plane; and (3) the airplane must be suitable for performing the ma- neuvers necessary to accomplish the flight test for a private pilot certificate. "Commercial pilot course: (1) All airplanes must be in excess of 50 horsepower; (2) both tandem and side-by-side seating arrangements must be represented; (3) at least one airplane must be equipped with wing flaps, two-way radio, controllable propeller, and a manifold pressure gauge; (4) at least one airplane must be properly equipped for visual night flying (see C.A.R. Part 43) ; and (5) although not 13 required for the commercial course, an airplane suitable for simulated instrument flying should be provided to meet the unrestricted com- mercial pilot requirements. "Flight instructor course: The airplanes which are used in the com- mercial course are satisfactory for a flight instructor course. "Instrument course: The airplane must be equipped in accordance with C.A.R. Part 43 pertaining to Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). Such aircraft must be equipped with a suitable hood which will com- pletely exclude all outside visual reference to the pilot but which will not restrict the vision of the safety pilot or instructor. The airplane must be capable of maintaining a climb of 300 f.p.m. at 2,000 feet above ground elevation and must be capable of performing all maneuvers listed in C.A.R. Part 20.42." New aircraft satisfactory for the elementary courses can be purchased for $4,500 upwards. Satisfactory second-hand aircraft can be purchased as low as $1,000. AIRPORT REQUIREMENTS The airport used for flight training purposes must meet the minimum requirements of C.A.M. 50. Briefly, these requirements are: (1) mini- mum runway length, 1,500 feet at sea level, and minimum width, 200 feet; (2) runways located and oriented to permit 95 per cent usage with cross-wind components of less than 15 m.p.h. ; (3) minimum approach angles to permit a 20 to 1 glide path; (4) runway grades with an unob- structed view 5 feet above the runway for a distance of 500 feet plus one half of the runway length; and (5) lighting facilities in accordance with Appendix D of the C.A.R. where night flying is required. HANGAR FACILITIES REQUIREMENTS Hangar requirements are listed in C.A.M. 50 and, in general, are as follows: M) a hangar of permanent construction and (2) a hangar thai is adequate to house all flight equipment when not in operation. A rough estimate can be made as to the amount of hangar floor space re- quired by allowing 500 square feet for each light aircraft. By careful hangaring or by the use of nose-cradles, this figure can be cut in half. PARACHUTE REQUIREMENTS ' \ M. 50 provides thai a minimum of two approved types of para- < hut. s should be provided, with at least two parachutes per instructor. Sin h additional parachutes as are necessary to prevent undue delay in u normal flight training progress should also be available. Paraehutes sell from $225 upwards. Repacking, which must be done every sixty days to keep the parachutes legally acceptable, costs about $5 for each parachute. MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL Sufficient C.A.A. certificated personnel must be employed to maintain the aircraft used for flight instruction in complete airworthy condition at all times. No more than five uncertificated personnel may be under the supervision of one certificated mechanic at any time. As an average, one mechanic with a helper can care adequately for four well-utilized train- ing-type light aircraft, although the rule of thumb varies with the degree of utilization of the aircraft. FLIGHT PERSONNEL Flight personnel in the Institute of Aviation, whose duties are flight instruction, includes four flight instructors and, depending upon the en- rollment, from five to seven temporary flight instructors. Each person giving flight instruction must possess a valid pilot certificate with com- mercial, flight instructor, and pertinent category and class ratings. Flight instructors employed to teach instrument flying must possess a valid instrument rating. These are the minimum requirements estab- lished by C.A.M. 50. At the University of Illinois, flight instructors must also possess an instrument rating and at least a baccalaureate degree from a recognized college or university since academic credit is given for the aviation courses. One flight instructor can teach from nine to eighteen students on the semester plan if flight sections are scheduled on a basis of five and one- half days per week. The variation in number of students per instructor depends upon whether the students are private or commercial students. Instructors are generally assigned an average of twelve or thirteen stu- dents per semester. The C.A.R. provides that instructors should not fly more than eight hours in any one day nor more than 36 hours each week. FLIGHT CURRICULUM A school may elect to follow the curriculum which is outlined in C.A.M. 50 or may submit its own detailed curriculum for approval by the C.A.A. At the University of Illinois all courses are detailed in syllabus form. Each student is given a copy of the syllabus pertinent to the course in which he is enrolled. The Institute of Aviation syllabi are not in com- plete conformity with C.A.M. 50 but they have been approved by the 15 C.A.A. In addition to the syllabus, the manual given to the student should include detailed instructions and regulations pertinent to his activity at the airport, airport diagrams, traffic rules, practice area dia- grams, general cross-country flight information, aircraft operations data, etc. Some of the above information as set up in the Institute of Aviation's Student Manual is included in the Appendix. SUGGESTED FLIGHT TRAINING TIME TABLE The time table or schedule of flight courses at the University of Illinois for a representative semester is as follows: Courses offered by the Institute of Aviation are open to students and faculty in all departments of the University, subject to limitations imposed by the avail- ability of flight equipment. Credit for the majority of Institute of Aviation courses is general University credit; its use as credit toward graduation is a matter for each college or school to pass upon. Courses in the 150, 160, and 170 series ordi- narily give credit only in the Institute of Aviation. The fee for each Institute of Aviation flight course is $275. Books and trans- portation to and from the Airport are included in the fee. Arrangements for the physical examination for students in Avi. 101 are made by the Institute through the University Health Service upon final acceptance in the Private Pilot course. Students in Avi. 104 are required to possess a second-class C.A.A. medical certifi- cate dated within the preceding twelve calendar months. Students are cautioned that all times at the Airport listed in the following schedules refer to airborne time, and that a minimum of thirty minutes must be allowed for traveling to the Airport prior to each flight and for returning to the campus after each flight. The Institute provides regular bus service without charge between the Airport and the campus. The bus leaves the campus from the corner of Burrill and Green and makes regular stops at Sixth and Gregory, and First and Gregory. For convenience in arranging program cards so that travel time to and from the Airport will not cause overlapping of classes, the bus schedule is combined with the flight section times as follows: The column labeled "Leave Campus" in- dicates the time the bus departs for the Airport; the column labeled "Hours" indi- cates airborne time from ground to ground; and the column headed "Arrive Campus" lists the time students may expect to be back on the campus. \6 COURSES avi. 101. private PILOT COURSE. — Prepares the beginning flight student for a Civil Aeronautics Administration Private Pilot Rating.
