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