5. LESSON 5: SIDE SLIPS, SLOW FLIGHT, FLIGHT AT MAX
CRUISE SPEED AND APPROACH TO A STALL
Flight level is 1000ft / 300m AGL – 1600ft / 500m
AGL Training methodology:
The instructor shows side slip maneuver, slow flight, approach to a stall in a level flight, approach to a
stall in turns with 30 degrees bank angle, and a flight at maximum speed to the student. He warns against
the risk of spin resulting from skidding turn and/or spiral resulting from slipping turn. The instructor ensures
that the student practices side slips thoroughly, as it is the main element of correcting planning for
emergency landing into limited space. Practice of side slips must be terminated at sufficient altitude.
Subsequently, piloting throughout the speed envelope is repeated, focusing on aircraft control during slow
flight. Flight at minimum speed is practiced, at different engine powers and flap configurations. During
flight at maximum speed, the instructor ensures that the student uses only 1/3 deflection of controls.
The student practices side slips left and right, approach to a stall, and flights throughout the speed
envelope listed in aircraft flight manual.
Conditions for passing: The student is able to enter side slips, to maintain speed, direction of flight, and is
able to recover into straight flight. The student is able to fly throughout the speed envelope of aircraft. The
student is able to recognize approaching stall and recover the aircraft back to normal flight.
6. LESSON 6: TAKE-OFF, TRAFFIC PATTERN, LANDING, AND BALKED LANDING
Traffic pattern flight level is 500ft / 150m AGL – 1000ft / 300m
AGL Training methodology:
The instructor shows proper technique during take-off, traffic pattern , and landing to the student. Special
attention must be paid to gaining speed after lift-off, to allow climb at correct climbing speed; also, to the
correct shape of traffic pattern, altitude at different sectors for traffic pattern, and correct planning of
landing with stable descent without the need to change engine power to change angle of approach. As
far as planning of landing is concerned, the instructor explains the effect of wind, length of runway,
possible turbulence near ground, and other factors which may influence the decision during planning of
landing. He points out that it is necessary to maintain proper speed during descent until the aircraft enters
the flare, so that no change of engine power is necessary during the round out. He also points out that
controls become less effective with decreasing flight speed.
The student practices take-off, climb, traffic pattern, planning of landing, landing. The first turn to
crosswind and the turn to final must be performed with 15 degrees bank angle at altitude at least 330ft /
100m AGL. Turns crosswind to downwind and downwind to base must be performed with 30 degrees bank
angle at altitude 500ft / 150m AGL – 1000ft / 300m AGL.
Balked landing from flare must be practiced.
Conditions for passing: The student is able to take-off, to fly traffic pattern, to land, and knows important
procedures.
7. LESSON 7: CORRECTIONS OF IMPROPER APPROACH PLANNING,
AND LANDING CORRECTIONS
Training methodology:
The instructor shows correction of high approach and low approach to the student, as well as the actions
necessary to correct high flare, ballooning, and bounce. He lets the student fly high approach and low
approach, and lets the student correct them. The instructor shows intentionally high flare, ballooning, and
bounce, and lets the student correct them.
The student corrects high approach, low approach, high flare, ballooning, and bounce.
Conditions for passing: The student is able to correct improper approach, high flare, ballooning, and
bounce on his own.
