Flight Instructors Training Procedures _revised AIC_x

iii. Fly the approach and execute the landing in varying wind conditions, thus enabling the
student to carry out short landings, flapless landings and crosswind landings.
HOW THE EXERCISE APPLIES TO FLYING
i. First solo flight.
ii. Landing the aircraft safely after each flight.
iii. Landings with various flap settings.
iv. Short landing technique.
v. Forced landing with power – precautionary landing.
vi. Force landing without power – after an actual engine failure.
2. PRINCIPLES INVOLVED
2.1. DEFINITIONS, PROCEDURES AND CHECKLISTS
2.2. DOWNWIND LEG
i. Undercarriage extension – if applicable to type.
ii. Flaps:
a. Flap extension speed.
b. Attitude.
c. Power required.
iii. Downwind checks.
2.3. TURN ONTO BASE LEG
i. Position relative to runway – wind effect.
ii. Nose position.
iii. Power setting.
iv. Angle of bank - 30° medium level turn.
2.4. ON BASE LEG
i. Drift considerations.
ii. Base leg checks.
iii. Power reduction to commence descent with/without power.
iv. Flap setting.
v. Speed on descent plus control of speed.
vi. Attitude plus control of attitude.
vii Speed/attitude relationship.
2.5. TURNING FINAL
i. Descending turn – angle of bank required.
ii. Speed control.
iii. Drift considerations.
iv. Aligning aircraft with runway.
2.6. FINAL APPROACH
i. Forces in descent with/without power.
ii. Final flap setting – effect of flap.
iii. Approach path – speed and height control.
iv. Use of trimmer.
v. What to do if –
a. Overshooting.
b. Undershooting.
vi. Discuss use of Vref speeds (Vref = 1.3 x Vs0 or Vs1 depending upon configuration)
2.7. THE ROUND-OUT
i. Lift formula and ground effect – coefficient of lift V² relationship.
ii. Throttle control technique.
