Flight Instructors Training Procedures _revised AIC_x

These exercises are absolutely vital in developing the student’s mental picture of his geographical
position. At this point in the training the student must be taught how to establish what the minimum
safe altitude in that area is. Controlled Flight into Terrain (CFIT) as a result on not being aware of
position and the minimum safe altitude, has claimed many lives.
iv. DESCENT AND CRUISE i. Once again the instructor can simulate an
approach with radar vectors. At this point
the instructor should consider having the
student carry out the R/T.
5. CONSIDERATIONS OF AIRMANSHIP AND ENGINE HANDLING
AIRMANSHIP
i. All beacons must be identified before being used for navigation purposes.
ii. It is vital that the student develops an awareness of his position and the minimum safe altitude
in that area.
iii. Lookout is very important.
iv. The student should be introduced to the concept of refusing an ATC clearance if he cannot
comply with it or feels unhappy with it.
ENGINE HANDLING
i. Engine temperature and pressure gauges must be monitored.
ii. The student should be proficient at setting power and using cowl flaps.
6. SIMILARITY TO PREVIOUS EXERCISES
The student will be developing the skills developed during his PPL navigation training with regard to the
ADF and the VOR. The use of instruments in previous lessons on full panel.
7. DE-BRIEFING AFTER THE FLIGHT
Briefly recap on the various exercises with particular emphasis on the following points:
i. Identifying beacons before using them.
ii. Knowing the aircraft’s approximate position at all times (situational awareness).
iii. Knowing what the minimum safe altitude in that position is.
8. DISCUSS THE STUDENT’S ACTUAL FAULTS
For each fault the instructor must indicate:
i. The symptoms of the faults.
ii. The cause of the faults.
