10.Complete both CLIMB and CRUISE checklists after leveling off
Note: If engine appears to drop below 1,000 RPM, add throttle to ensure engine will not stop.
Ground Reference Maneuvers.
NOTE: All ground reference maneuvers are performed at 1,000’ AGL, and are entered on
a downwind leg simulating traffic pattern altitude and are performed in the “Clean”
configuration. Before descending for the maneuver it is important to visually scan the
area for obstructions and a safe landing spot incase an emergency landing is necessary.
Ground reference maneuvers are done in the clean configuration at 1000’ AGL and 90kts
mimicking the traffic pattern.
Clean Configuration
Flaps - 0
Mixture - Full Rich
Landing Light - ON
PTS Requirements ALT +/- 100’ Speed +/- 10 kts
Rectangular Course
1. Set power to maintain an airspeed of 90kts
2. Maneuver is performed 1,000 AGL
3. Enter the maneuver 45 to the downwind with the first circuit to the left
Downwind
1. Roll wings level, parallel to the boundary
2. Maintain distance (about 1⁄2 mile) from boundary
3. At field boundary edge, turn first crosswind leg
4. Start with steep bank
5. Reduce bank angle gradually during the turn
First Crosswind Leg (Crosswind)
1. Roll out, wings level crabbing toward the boundary
2. Manage crab angle to maintain 1⁄2 mile distance from boundary
3. At field boundary edge, turn upwind
4. Start with medium bank
5. Reduce bank angle gradually during the turn as ground speed decreases Upwind
6. Roll wings level, parallel to the boundary
7. At field boundary edge, turn second crosswind leg
8. Start with shallow bank
9. Increase bank angle gradually during the turn as ground speed increases
Second Crosswind Leg (Base)
1. Roll out wings level, crabbing away from the boundary
2. Manage crab angle to maintain 1⁄2 mile distance from boundary
3. At field boundary edge, turn downwind
4. Start with moderate bank Increase bank angle gradually during the turn as ground speed
increases
