Flight Instructors Training Procedures _revised AIC_x

Most problems in the circuit can be related to insufficient skills in the basic flight
manoeuvres.
ii. Insufficient knowledge of the checks and procedures.
iii. Spending too much attention in the cockpit to complete the before landing
checks without sufficient attention to the visual references outside for attitude
and heading.
iv. Insufficient lookout in the circuit.
v. If too much time is taken in setting up the descent on the base leg the approach
usually ends up being too high.
vi. Speed/attitude relationship on final approach. Do not “chase” the speed. Fly
attitude and allow the speed to stabilize before correcting according to the ASI.
Hold the threshold on a constant imaginary horizontal line on the windscreen
and adjust power to maintain a constant IAS (this is a shortcut to “Power
controls height/rate of descent and attitude controls airspeed” because, as for
instance, attitude is lowered to increase airspeed, power needs to be increased
to reduce rate of descent. Therefore increasing power to increase the airspeed
would in turn result in the lowering of the attitude to maintain the threshold on
the imaginary horizontal line on the windscreen).
vii. After turning onto final approach select the required landing flap and trim the
aircraft. From this point on the power controls the rate of descent.
viii. A good approach makes a good landing. From a good approach the transition
to the round-out requires only a small attitude change. Do not close the throttle
until the round-out phase is complete.
3. Discuss the student’s actual faults
For each fault the instructor must indicate:
i. The symptoms of the fault.
ii. The cause of the fault.
iii. The result the fault could have led to.
iv. The corrective action required.
f. BRIEFLY DISCUSS THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE NEXT LESSON
