Pilot deviation
Pilot deviations are actions of a pilot that result in the violation of a Federal Aviation Regulation,[1] often a failure to follow instructions from air traffic control.
Types
[edit]Pilot deviations can be split in to ground- and airborne deviations.
- Examples of airborne deviations are when a pilot strays from an assigned altitude or heading, or if they penetrate controlled airspace or restricted airspace without clearance.[2]
- Examples of groundbased deviations are taking off or landing without clearance, failing to hold short of a runway or deviating from an assigned taxi route.[2]
Pilot deviation notification
[edit]A Brasher warning is a warning issued to pilots after a potential deviation by the latter occurs. It was named after captain Jack Brasher, a former Republic Airlines pilot who was accused of deviating from an assigned altitude in 1985.[3] The FAA refers to this as the "Brasher Notification" or Pilot Deviation Notification.[4][5]
