Flight Instructors Training Procedures _revised AIC_x

ii. Turning into wind.
5. EFFECT OF TURBULENCE DURING LOW
FLYING
6. BAD WEATHER LOW FLYING
Whilst flying at medium level, describe to the
student an assumed bed weather situation
which will necessitate the demonstration of:
i. A simulated bad weather circuit and landing
either at base or onto a suitable field.
ii.
A precautionary landing.
)*,
NOTE: Do not reduce power.
i. Head the aircraft directly downwind.
ii. Look out.
iii. Commence a balanced medium turn through
180°.
iv. Visual contact with the ground gives an
impression of “skidding out” during the turn.
NOTE: Do not attempt to correct the apparent
skid.
v. Roll out into wind and note the reduced
groundspeed for a constant indicated airspeed.
CONCLUSION: It will be necessary to take the effect of
drift into account when turning to avoid obstacles.
i. More marked over uneven ground, trees, hills
and near thunderstorms.
ii. Beware of strong downdrafts, as well as in the
vicinity of thunderstorms.
iii. Whenever practical avoid possible areas of
turbulence during low flying.
iv. Before or on encountering turbulence:
a. Repeat low flying checks.
b. Increase altitude if practical.
c. Counteract downdraft by increasing
power.
d. In strong downdrafts where full power
cannot counter the effect of the
downdraft, turn out of the downdraft.
i. Obtain ATC clearance (actual or simulated).
ii. Complete field approach checks.
iii. Approaching the circuit area, prepare the
aircraft for slow safe cruising.
iv. Keep a good lookout and radio listening watch.
v. Join the circuit as instructed by ATC. At
uncontrolled airfields or simulated landing
areas, comply with the statutory radio and
joining procedures.
vi. Position onto downwind, maintaining sight of
the runway. Complete before landing checks.
vii. Maintain visual contact with the runway and
commence a turn to position the aircraft onto
final approach, from where the appropriate type
of landing may be carried out.
i. Decide upon an appropriate landing area.
ii. Complete field approach checks.
iii. Follow procedures as described in Exercise
17B.
