Survival 1
SURVIVAL: A “proven” comprehensive survivalmanual with concise explanations, pictures, and detailedillustrations; this is an essential book for anyone. The content ofthis manual is unmatched in depth; knowledge is drawn from hundredsof years, thousands of man hours, and first hand operationalexperience. If you are a trainer, this is the corner stone on whichto build a training program. Learning life saving skills willreduce fear of the unknown and give you self-confidence. Psychologyis a key ingredient in having the will to survive and is essential.Increase your chances of survival by planning, preparation, andpractice. Survivors have related feelings of apathy andhelplessness because they could not medically treat themselves. Oneperson with a fair amount of basic medical knowledge can make adifference in the lives of many. Three essentials of survival:water, food, and shelter-are prioritized according to the estimateof the actual situation. In some areas, your need for shelter maytake precedence over your need for food and possibly even your needfor water. For example, prolonged exposure to cold can causeexcessive fatigue and weakness (exhaustion). Fire craft teaches youthe ability to start a fire; you can cook, preserve food, providewarmth, purify water, sterilize bandages, signal for rescue, andproduce tools & weapons. We can live for weeks without food,but it may take days or weeks to determine what is safe to eat andto trap animals in the area. Plants can provide you with medicines,chemicals for poisoning fish, preserving animal hides. Smalleranimals actually present more of a threat to you than largeanimals. To compensate for their size, nature has given many smallanimals weapons such as fangs and stingers to defend themselves.Each year, a few people are bitten/attacked by sharks, alligators,and bears. However, each year more victims die from bites byrelatively small venomous snakes. Even more victims die fromallergic reactions to bee stings. Imagine being in a survivalsituation without any weapons, tools, or equipment. You wouldprobably feel helpless, but with the proper knowledge and skills,you can easily improvise needed items. In a survival situation, youmay have to cross a water obstacle. It may be in the form of ariver, a lake, a bog, or quicksand. Whatever the obstacle, you needto know how to cross it safely. If you are not proficient in usinga map and compass, you must take the steps to gain this skill.There are several methods by which you can determine direction byusing the sun and the stars. Nuclear, chemical, and biological(NBC) man-made hazards have become potential realities in moderntimes. The potential of these hazards intensifies the problems ofsurvival because of the serious dangers posed by either radioactivefallout or contamination. If you are subjected to any of theeffects of nuclear, chemical, or biological event, the survivalprocedures recommended in this book may save your life.
Gang Threat Assessment 1
The NGIC is a multiagency effort thatintegrates the gang intelligence assets of federal, state, andlocal law enforcement entities to serve as a centralizedintelligence resource for gang information and analytical support.The mission of the NGIC is to support law enforcement agenciesthrough timely and accurate information sharing andstrategic/tactical analysis of federal, state, and local lawenforcement intelligence focusing on the growth, migration,criminal activity, and association of gangs that pose a significantthreat to communities throughout the United States. The NGICconcentrates on gangs operating on a national level thatdemonstrate criminal connectivity between sets and commonidentifiers and goals. Because many violent gangs do not operate ona national level, the NGIC also focuses on regional-level gangs.NGIC is staffed and supported by a number of partnering agencies,including the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives(ATF), Bureau of Prisons (BOP), Department of Justice (DOJ),Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Customs and BorderProtection (CBP), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), FederalBureau of Investigation (FBI), Immigration and Customs Enforcement(ICE), NDIC, and United States Marshals Service (USMS). The NGICproduces intelligence assessments, intelligence bulletins, jointagency intelligence products, and other nonstandard intelligenceproducts for customers. This intelligence assessment is acollaborative effort between the National Gang Intelligence Center(NGIC) and the NDIC to examine the threat posed to the UnitedStates by criminal gangs; it supports U.S. Department of Justicestrategic objectives 2.2 (to reduce the threat, incidence, andprevalence of violent crime) and 2.4 (to reduce the threat,trafficking, use, and related violence of illegal drugs). Theassessment is based on federal, state, and local law enforcementinformation and is supplemented by information retrieved from opensources. This assessment discusses the proliferation of gangs fromurban areas to suburban and rural locations, estimates of thenumber of gangs and gang members in the United States, gang types,gang-related criminal activities, locations where specific gangsoperate, and the relationships between gangs and other criminalorganizations. Regional summaries highlighting the most significantgang-related trends are also provided. The assessment alsoidentifies intelligence gaps and provides predictive estimatesregarding significant gang related issues.The National Gang Intelligence Center (NGIC) is a multi-agencyeffort that integrates the gang intelligence assets of federal,state, and local law enforcement entities to serve as a centralizedintelligence resource for gang information and analyticalsupport.The mission of the NGIC is to support law enforcement agenciesthrough timely and accurate information sharing andstrategic/tactical analysis of federal, state, and local lawenforcement intelligence focusing on the growth, migration,criminal activity, and association of gangs that pose a significantthreat to communities throughout the United States.The NGIC concentrates on gangs operating on a national levelthat demonstrate criminal connectivity between sets and commonidentifiers and goals.

NBC Decontamination 1.0
The Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical (NBC)fundamentals published in this manual provides detailed guidance onconducting decontamination operations; and can be performed bychemical and nonchemical personnel. Survivability and reducing theeffect of any chemical threat are the ultimate goals of NBCdecontamination.The use of NBC weapons creates unique residual hazards thatmayrequire decon. In addition to the deliberate use of these weapons,collateral damage, natural disasters, and industrial emitters mayrequire decon. The presence of contamination generally reduces theeffectiveness of our combat power. Contamination forces us intoprotective equipment that degrades our ability to performindividual and collective tasks.CONTAMINATION FORMS1-1. The following are the different forms of contamination:• Solids – radioactive particles, biological spores, or dustyagents that could appear as a fine dust.• Liquids – liquid droplets that fall like rain. Droplets canrange fromthick and sticky to the consistency of water.• Vapors or gases – created by bursting munitions or generators.These clouds are affected by the weather and can cover largeareas.• Aerosols – fine liquids or solid particles suspended in theair. Theybehave much like vapors.CONTAMINATION-HAZARDS TRANSMISSION1-2 Contamination hazards can be transmitted in the followingmanner:• Transfer. Anything that touches a surface covered with liquidorsolid contamination will tend to pick up that contamination andmove it from one surface to another.• Spread. Touching a surface covered with liquid chemical agentcanspread contamination on the same surface, thereby, increasingthesize of the contaminated area.• Vapor. Vapors can be carried through the air in the form of adust,atomized liquids (aerosols), or true gases. Vapors in anopen/outdoorarea disperse rapidly, so there is no need to decon.• Desorption. Liquid-chemical contamination absorbs intoporoussurfaces. Once absorbed, it begins to desorb or give off gas; thatis, low levels of vapor pass out of the contaminated surface intothe air and can be transferred to any surface that contacts it,including bare skin.• Radiation. Radiation is given off by radioactive dust or dirt,most ofwhich appears as fallout. For decon purposes, radiation can bethought of as a solid.AGENT CLASSIFICATION1-3. Depending on the length of time agents will be a hazard, theyareclassified as--• Nonpersistent – an immediate threat that lasts a few minutes.Theyrarely require decon.• Persistent – takes a longer time to act and may last for days.In aprotected environment, these agents can last for long periods oftime.All agents are affected to some extent by the weather. Evenradiological particles can “rain out” of the air and form hot spotsonthe ground. Biological organisms are greatly affected bysunlight.Chemical agents can be decontaminated by the weather. Thedurationof a hazard is a complex estimation that is based on numerousfactorswhich include the—Type of contamination.Contamination density and droplet size.Temperature.Wind speed.Sunlight.Humidity and rain.Composition of the contaminated surface.Type of soil and terrain.

Guidance on Re-Export Controls 1
Guidance on the Commerce Department’s Re-export Controls: TheUnited States Department of Commerce regulates exports andreexports of “dual-use” items, i.e., goods, software andtechnologies with commercial and proliferation/militaryapplications, through its Export Administration Regulations (EAR).If you are outside the United States and wish to export or reexportan item that is of U.S. origin or that has a U.S. connection, yourproduct may require a license from the U.S. Department ofCommerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS). This book isdesigned to give an understanding of the regulations and how to usethem. What is a Reexport? A reexport is the shipment ortransmission of an item subject to the EAR from one foreign country(i.e., a country other than the United States) to another foreigncountry. A reexport also occurs when there is “release” oftechnology or software (source code) subject to the EAR in oneforeign country to a national of another foreign country. Here issome helpful information found in this book: Determining whetheryour item is subject to the Export Administration Regulations.;Determining whether a U.S.-origin item requires a license fromBIS.; Determining whether your foreign-produced product requires alicense from BIS because it contains some U.S.-origin content.;Determining if your foreign product requires a license from BISbecause it is the direct product of U.S. technology or software.;Determining if your foreign product requires a license from BISbecause it is the direct product of a plant or major component of aplant that was developed based on U.S. technology.; Is your producteligible for a License Exception?; Are there any specialrestrictions I should know about?; Why should you comply withreexport license requirements?; Where to apply for a reexportlicense?; Additional information and contacting BIS.

Aircraft Weight Balance Book 2
Aircraft Weight and Balance Handbook, has beenprepared in recognition of the importance of weight and balancetechnology in conducting safe and efficient flight. The objectiveof this handbook is twofold: to provide the Airframe and PowerplantMechanic (A&P) with the method of determining the empty weightand empty-weight center of gravity (EWCG) of an aircraft, and tofurnish the flight crew with information on loading and operatingthe aircraft to ensure its weight is within the allowable limit andthe center of gravity (CG) is within the allowable range. Thishandbook begins with the basic principle of aircraft weight andbalance control, emphasizing its importance and including examplesof documentation furnished by the aircraft manufacturer and by theFAA to ensure the aircraft weight and balance records contain theproper data. Procedures for the preparation and the actual weighingof an aircraft are described, as are the methods of determining thelocation of the empty-weight center of gravity (EWCG) relative toboth the datum and the mean aerodynamic chord (MAC). Loadingcomputations for general aviation aircraft are discussed, usingboth loading graphs and tables of weight and moment indexes.Information is included that allows an A&P mechanic orrepairman to determine the weight and center of gravity (CG)changes caused by repairs and alterations. This includesinstructions for conducting adverse-loaded CG checks, alsoexplaining the way to determine the amount and location of ballastneeded to bring the CG within allowable limits. The uniquerequirements for helicopter weight and balance control arediscussed, including the determination of lateral CG and the wayboth lateral and longitudinal CG change as fuel is consumed. Achapter is included giving the methods and examples of solvingweight and balance problems, using handheld electronic calculators,E6-B flight computers, and a dedicated electronic flight computer.The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is an agency of theUnited States Department of Transportation with authority toregulate and oversee all aspects of civil aviation in the U.S.(National Airworthiness Authority).

Mentoring Flight Instruction 2
Best Practices for Mentoring in Flight Instruction: Mostpilotcertificates are issued with advice that the hard-won documentisonly a “license to learn.” Newly certificated pilots arethendispatched into the real world to learn through theirownexperience. While there is ultimately no substitute forexperience,too many pilots come to grief because the lessons ofexperience areharsh and sometimes fatal.The tests of experience – given, as the saying goes,beforerather than after the lesson – are especially challenging fortwospecific pilot groups. The first is new instrument pilots.Withinstrument rating in hand, the newly certificated instrumentpilotcan legally fly alone in conditions that would challenge themostseasoned professionals – perhaps without having evenexperiencedflight in instrument meteorological conditions(IMC).There are also special challenges for the newly certificated,butinexperienced, flight instructor (CFI). The CFI performs one ofthemost vital and influential roles in aviation and, just asinmedicine, the work can have life and death consequences. Butwhilethe medical profession uses internship and residency programstoprovide supervised real world training for newly graduatedMDs,newly certificated flight instructors – like new instrumentpilots– are mostly left to learn on their own.Many professions besides medicine use forms of mentoring tohelpnewly-trained novices transition from real-world applicationof“book” knowledge and basic skills. Teacher certificationboardsrequire a stint of student teaching that pairs the novicewith anexperienced classroom instructor for both observationandsupervised application of knowledge and skills. Mentoringinaviation generally takes place in the airline environment,whichpairs experienced pilots with junior crew members.Unfortunately, general aviation (GA) instrument pilots andflightinstructors do not typically have regular orstructuredopportunities to fly with more experienced aviators.Because suchopportunities could provide a major safety benefit tothe GAcommunity, this guide provides ideas and suggestedmentoringpractices that instructors and flight schools can use tohelpbridge the gap between training and experience.ABOUT the AUTHOR: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) isanagency of the United States Department of Transportationwithauthority to regulate and oversee all aspects of civil aviationinthe U.S. (National Airworthiness Authority).
