))
The student should be able to maintain a straight path
and fly off at a safe speed. His checks must be of a
good standard and he must be able to keep a good
lookout whilst performing these checks.
Although the circuit need not be precise in all
respects, the student should be consistent in
maintaining the approximate length of each leg and a
satisfactory heading. Variations in altitude are
acceptable providing he is able to detect and correct
them and they are not large enough to cause marked
difficulty in judging the approach.
The student should have good control of the speed
particularly during the final turn and last stages of the
approach. He should be able to anticipate the need
for power adjustments and the necessity for going
around again. These decisions must not be left until
the last moment.
His landings must be safe with no consistent faults
such as holding off too high. A series of good
landings is not necessarily proof of readiness for solo
unless the student has shown that he is also able to
go-around again safely in the event of a mis-landing.
The student must have had practice at handling
engine failure after take-off and should have had
practice at making glide approaches in the unlikely
event of engine failure in the circuit.
i. Ensure that loose harnesses ate secure and that seats are properly locked.
ii. Emphasise the need to keep a good lookout and radio listening watch as he will be
alone in the aircraft.
iii. Authorise him to do one circuit and landing, but should he feel the necessity to do a
go-around on his final approach, he must not hesitate to do so.
iv. Remind him to do all checks and procedures methodically.
v. Point out that the aircraft should climb faster without the weight of the instructor.
