11. BLOCKED FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS / INSTRUMENT FAILURE
Training methodology:
The instructor reviews with the student the behavior of the aircraft at different air speeds and performs the
flight with the student with the instruments covered. Even without the help of instruments, the student
must keep the speed in a safe range, especially to maintain safe speed during descent and landing. He
must be able to make coordinated turns without checking the slip indicator and must correctly determine
whether the airplane is climbing or descending.
Conditions of passing: The student controls the aircraft while flying the traffic circuit without the use of flight
instruments.
12. LESSON 11: CHECK BEFORE FIRST SOLO FLIGHT
Training methodology:
The instructor performs a check flight with the student, focusing on his ability to control the aircraft in all
flight regimes. Special attention must be paid to take-off, gaining speed, adherence to flight speed limits,
performing turns, flight at lower speeds, correct estimate for landing, correct flare, managing the landing
run and stopping. During the check flight, the instructor re-checks student’s responses to an engine
failure. The student will pass the pre-solo exam administered by the instructor and all appropriate
endorsements will be completed.
Before his first solo flight, the instructor will discuss with the student all differences between dual and solo,
especially lower weight and apparent higher available engine power, notably changing aircraft’s
performance during take-off and climb, and is markedly different performance on approach with longer
hold-off, and lower stall speed. The instructor will also instruct the student how to handle possible engine
failure during all phases of traffic pattern flight.
If the student shows any signs of stress and/or nervousness, the instructor must add a dual flight. Student’s
uncertainty usually results from incomplete mastering of certain piloting skill.
First solo is only allowed on the aircraft on which the student trained.
13. LESSON 12: SOLO TRAFFIC PATTERN FLIGHT
Training methodology:
Having passed the check flight, the student flies a traffic pattern according to instructor’s instructions; the
instructor observes and assesses the flight from ground. If no obvious piloting errors are observed, the
instructor will allow two additional traffic patterns and landings. Two-way radio communication between
the instructor and the student is recommended.
14. LESSON 13: CHECK TRAFFIC PATTERN FLIGHT
Training methodology:
Having passed the three solo flights forming the previous Lesson, the instructor with the student flies a
check flight, during which the instructor checks student’s piloting skills and habits. The instructor will draw
attention to any piloting errors, errors in altitude, traffic pattern shape, and/or any other deficiencies.
15. LESSON 14: SOLO TRAFFIC PATTERN FLIGHT
Training methodology:
The student flies 15 traffic patterns to strengthen the mastery of piloting skills and traffic pattern flying.
Two-way radio communication between the instructor and the student is recommended.
16. LESSON 15: TURNS WITH BANK ANGLE 15 TO 45°
Training methodology:
The student repeatedly practices (solo) turns with bank angle 15 to 45°, finishing them at preselected headings
