Achieve 60-65 KIAS, idle power, pitch nose down 100 ft, then pitch up to stall.
Reduce power to 100%, pitch for climb (>72 KIAS), retract flaps, and advance power to 92%.
Setup includes clearing turns, 20% power, flaps takeoff, and airspeed <70 KIAS.
Pitch nose up while applying 100% power to induce stall, maintaining coordination.
Reduce power to 100%, pitch for climb (>72 KIAS), and set 92% power.
Setup includes clearing turns, 20% power, airspeed <110 KIAS, flaps takeoff or landing.
Achieve 60-65 KIAS, idle power, pitch nose down 100 ft, bank 20 degrees, then pitch up.
Reduce power to 100%, level wings, pitch for climb (>72 KIAS), retract flaps, advance power to 92%.
Setup includes clearing turns, 50-60% power, airspeed 100-105 KIAS, and landmark selection.
Execute turns at 45° (private) or 50° (commercial) bank, maintaining airspeed and altitude.
Setup includes clearing turns, identifying wind, 1000 ft AGL altitude, 50-60% power, 100-110 KIAS.
Locate point, approach with tailwind, set 1/2-1 mile radius, maintain airspeed/altitude/radius.
Locate a long road, approach with tailwind, fly perpendicular to road.
Maintain airspeed/altitude, coordinate with rudder, make a full 360-degree turn.
Locate a large rectangular course, approach at 45° angle to left downwind.
Maintain airspeed/altitude, coordinate with rudder, keep road on pilot side, fly pattern.
Complete Before Takeoff Checklist, fuel pumps on, external lights on, flaps takeoff, trim takeoff.
Into the wind ailerons, use rudder/brakes, apply 100% power, rotate at 65 KIAS, maintain Vy (72 KIAS).
Complete Before Landing Checklist, fuel pumps on, external lights on, flaps landing.
Maintain glide path and Vref (76 KIAS) with pitch/power, begin flaring 300-400 ft before touchdown.
Reduce power to idle, pitch nose up for flare, hold nose gear off ground.
Complete checklist, note wind, follow normal lineup, line up at runway beginning.
Into the wind ailerons, hold brakes, apply 100% power, release brakes, rotate at 65 KIAS, maintain Vy (72 KIAS).
Complete checklist, fuel pumps on, lights on, flaps landing, maintain glide path and Vref (72 KIAS).
Begin flare 200 ft before touchdown, reduce power to idle, pitch nose up for flare.
Retract flaps after touchdown, hold nose gear off ground, apply brakes.
Complete checklist, note wind, follow normal lineup, continue rolling to avoid gear grab.
Into the wind ailerons, hold stick back, use rudder, apply 100% power, hold nose off ground, rotate at Vy (72 KIAS).
Complete checklist, fuel pumps on, lights on, flaps landing, maintain glide path and Vref (76 KIAS).
Begin flare 400 ft before touchdown, reduce power to idle, add 5-10% power to soften landing.
Hold nose gear off ground, continue taxi with stick back to protect nose gear.
