Flight Instructors Training Procedures _revised AIC_x

iii.
OTHER METHODS
,
correcting for drift.
i. If appropriate any other method of intercept
could be shown when the student has
grasped the parallel method of intercepting
a QDM.
iv. RETURN TO THE AIRFIELD i. Give the student a QDM to follow if there is
an appropriate beacon near or at the airfield.
5. CONSIDERATIONS OF AIRMANSHIP AND ENGINE HANDLING
AIRMANSHIP
i. All beacons must be identified before using them. It is vital that the instructor gets this point
home as soon as possible.
ii. The instructor must maintain a good lookout.
ENGINE CONSIDERATIONS
i. The engine temperature and pressure gauges must be monitored.
ii. Mixture control must not be forgotten.
iii. Cowl flaps.
6. SIMILARITY TO PREVIOUS EXERCISES
The exercise is similar to straight and level flight, but with directional guidance from the ADF.
7. DE-BRIEFING AFTER THE FLIGHT
Briefly recap on the various exercises with particular emphasis on the following points:
i. The need to synchronize the D.I. to the compass at regular intervals.
ii. No navigational aid must ever be used without identifying it.
iii. The student must develop a mental picture of his position relative to the NDB.
iv. The student must anticipate the turn onto the correct heading to avoid flying through the QDM.
v. The tendency to home to the station rather than correct for drift must be discouraged at an
early stage.
vi. Emphasize that is vital that the student fly a heading and does not chase the ADF needle.
8. DISCUSS THE STUDENT’S ACTUAL FAULTS
For each fault the instructor must indicate:
i. The symptoms of the fault.
ii. The cause of the fault.
iii. The potential outcome of persisting with the fault.
iv. The action required to correct the fault.
9. BREIFLY DISCUSS THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE NEXT LESSON
