Flight Instructors Training Procedures _revised AIC_x

3. DESCRIPTION OF AIR EXERCISE
a. APPLE PROCEDURES AND CHECKLISTS
b. AIRCRAFT HANDLING TECHNIQUES:-
DEMONSTRATION OBSERVATION
1. DOWNWIND LEG
i. Flying the aircraft on the downwind leg.
2.
i.
ENGINE ASSISTED APPROACH AND
LANDING
Base leg.
ii. Final Approach.
)
i. Lookout and radio call.
ii. Distance from runway – spacing.
iii. Trim for straight and level flight at power
setting required to maintain circuit speed.
iv. Downwind checks.
v. Keeping downwind track parallel to runway –
effect of drift. Use of DI and reference point
as aids.
vi. Correct altitude and speed.
vii. Distance from other aircraft in circuit.
viii. Position to turn onto base leg – depending on
type of approach intended.
i. Carry out 30° angle of bank medium level
turn from downwind to base leg.
ii. Allow for drift.
iii. Use of Carb Heat.
iv. Base leg checks.
v. When within a 45° approach cone to the
extended runway centre line (called the ‘Key
Point’), reduce power as required for the
approach. Maintain altitude until the speed
reduces to the required speed for descending
onto base leg/turn onto final (for aircraft
configuration). Re-trim aircraft.
vi. Importance of lookout for other aircraft on
final and for aircraft doing other types of
approaches.
vii. Position and altitude – turn onto final
approach at maximum 30° bank angle in the
descending turn.
viii. Ensure wings level on final approach at
minimum of 500 ft agl.
i. Lookout and radio call.
ii. Carb Heat set to “COLD”
iii. Use of elevator to control airspeed.
iv. Select final approach flap.
v. Use of power to control rate of descent.
vi. Speed – reduce to the final approach speed
as soon as possible after turning onto final –
trim aircraft.
vii. Corrections for overshooting/
undershooting.
viii. Adjust approach to achieve required touch
down point. Transition to Vref speed.
