Flight Instructors Training Procedures _revised AIC_x

1. AIM
LESSON 5
FULL PANEL MANOEUVRES – PART 5
The aim of this lesson is to teach the student how to control the aircraft when flying in instrument
conditions if one or more of the instruments has failed.
DEFINITION
The basic manoeuvres are carried out using limited panel as if the vacuum pump had failed i.e. using
the Turn Co-ordinator or Turn and Slip Indicator.
2. WHAT THE INSTRUCTOR IS TO TEACH (Briefing of 1:00 hr.)
i. Explain how to recognize instrument failure and the insidious nature of this failure.
ii. Recap on how gyro instruments topple.
iii. Recap on the use of pressure instruments to recognise pitch attitude.
iv. Recap on the use of the Turn Co-ordinator and the Turn and Slip Indicator.
v. Recap on the aerodynamic forces associated with a spiral dive.
3. WHY IT IS BEING TAUGHT
To enable the student to control the aircraft when some of the gyro instruments fail or topple.
4. THE AIR EXERCISE
Control inputs when flying on limited panel will be made with reference to the performance Instruments.
This is clearly not an ideal situation and the instructor must emphasize that control inputs must be
smooth and gradual. A control input must be made and the student must wait and see what
performance results before another control input is made. Flying under these conditions is essentially
trail and error and CCHAT is most important.

)
i. Introduce student to the concept of “Start
Clearance”. The student should also be
competent at carrying out the avionics checks
at this point.
i. The student should not need any prompting to
do the instrument checks.
i. The student should be able to copy basic
clearances without too much difficulty.
i. At the instructor’s discretion the student may
be allowed to attempt a take-off under the
hood from about 30kts thus simulating poor
visibility.
i. On reaching the cruising level cover the A/H
and D/I simulating vacuum pump failure.
Have the student fly to the GFA on limited
panel. Point out that a more rapid scan will be
