2. Taxiing is described in the section 

4.5

Airfield traffic shall be performed in accordance 

with  the  airfield  traffic  diagram.  Before  lining  up  full  and  free  movements  of  the  flight 
controls must be checked. 

3.  After  lining  up  the  engine  power  setting  shall  be  increased  to  full  and  takeoff  shall  be 

performed. The takeoff procedure is described in the section 

4.7

. 

4.  Upon reaching the speed of climb of 90 km/h (56 mph, 49 kts) the flaps shall be retracted 

at safe altitude. No pitch re-trimming or loss of altitude occurs after that. The crosswind 
turn shall be performed during climb after reaching 300 ft altitude. 

5.  Climb is described in the section 

4.9

. Upon climbing to 600 ft the airplane shall be set to 

level flight. The engine speed shall be reduced to 3600-4200 RPM so that the airspeed 
of  level  flight  sets  in  the  range  of  110-150  km/h  (68-93  mph,  59-81  kts).  Then  the 
downwind turn shall be performed with the bank angle up to 30°. 

6.  Between downwind and base turn the elevator trim tab shall be adjusted, if necessary, 

and engine parameters shall be checked. 

7.  It is recommended to perform the b

ase turn with a bank angle below 30° in a place where 

the distance remaining for descend after the final turn is equal to at least 3000 ft. 

8.  After  making  the  base  turn  it  is  necessary  to  reduce  the  engine  speed  to  3000  RPM, 

reduce the airspeed to 110 km/h (68 mph, 59 kts) and extend the flaps to 1st position. In 
this case a nose-down pitching moment appears that shall be countered by pulling the 
yoke/stick back. Then the airspeed must be reduced to 90 km/h (56 mph, 49 kts) and 
engine  speed  adjusted  so  that  in  the  beginning  of  the  final  turn  the  airplane  is  at 
approximately 500 ft. 

9. 

It is recommended to make the final turn with a bank angle below 20°. While making the 
final  turn  its  radius  may  be  corrected  by  changing  the  bank  angle  in  order  to  ensure 
airplane aligning with the runway after the turn. It is recommended to keep the airspeed 
in the range of 90-100 km/h (49-54 kts). 

10. The required descend angle on final shall be set by adjusting the engine RPM. When 

engine  RPM  is  increased  a  slight  nose-up  pitching  moment  occurs  that  shall  be 
countered by pushing the yoke/stick forward. When engine RPM is reduced the effect is 
opposite. Heading corrections shall be done using rudder pedals. Lateral deviations shall 
be corrected with S-turns of appropriate bank angle.  Recommended airspeed on final 
90-110 km/h. 

11. At about 15 ft the engine shall be set to idle and airspeed and sink rate reduced by pulling 

the yoke/stick back gradually so that at the moment of touchdown the airplane reaches 
the pitch angle required for landing (the top of the engine cowling is slightly higher than 
the horizon sightline). 

12. Direction of the landing roll shall be controlled with rudder pedals. If a series of circuit 

flights are performed, the touch-and-go technique shall be used. After several seconds 
of  the  touchdown  the  engine  speed  shall  be  set  to  maximum  and  takeoff  shall  be 
performed. When engine power is increased a nose-up pitching moment appears that 
shall be countered by pushing the yoke/stick a bit forward. In case of a full-stop landing 
the main wheel brakes may be used when the nose wheel is on the ground. 

13. Retract the flaps before vacating the runway. 

Total time of circuit flying training 

– 2 h. Number of flights – 4. Number of landings – 20.
