Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Turn aeroplane steeply
2. Pre-manoeuvre checks for steep turning are performed
3. Flightpath is cleared before and during turn
4. Steep level turn of nominated bank angle is achieved without altitude change to nominated heading
5. Descending turn of nominated bank angle is achieved to nominated heading
6. Awareness of higher stall speed in turns is applied
7. Aeroplane operating limits are not exceeded
8. Sideslip aeroplane
9. Yaw is induced to achieve increased rate of descent while maintaining track and airspeed
10. Recovery from sideslip is achieved and aeroplane is returned to balanced flight
11. Flightpath is cleared before and during manoeuvre
12. Glide speed is maintained
13. Execute short take off
14. Take-off performance is calculated in accordance with performance chart
15. Pre-take-off, line-up and after take-off checks are performed in accordance with approved checklist and regulatory requirements
16. Aeroplane is lined up to enable use of maximum runway length
17. Short take-off technique is applied in accordance with aircraft flight manual (AFM)/pilot’s operating handbook (POH) requirements
18. Separation with other traffic is maintained
19. Appropriate allowance is made for surface and wind conditions
20. Execute short landing
21. Landing performance is calculated in accordance with performance chart
22. Aeroplane is landed at nominated touchdown point using appropriate techniques and procedures in accordance with AFM/POH requirements
23. After landing checks are performed in accordance with approved checklist and regulatory requirements
24. Enter and recover from stall
25. Pre-manoeuvre checks for stalling are performed
26. Stall signs and symptoms are recognised
27. Aeroplane is controlled by applying required pitch, roll and yaw inputs as appropriate in a smooth, coordinated manner, and aeroplane is accurately trimmed to enter and recover from stall conditions
28. Stall recovery in simulated partial and complete engine failure configurations is initiated and completed using established stall recovery techniques
29. Recover from incipient spin
30. Pre-manoeuvre checks for an incipient spin are performed
31. Incipient spin signs and symptoms are recognised
32. Aeroplane is controlled during spin manoeuvres by applying required pitch, roll and yaw inputs as appropriate in a smooth, coordinated manner, to enter and recover from spin conditions during straight and level flight, climbing, and turning
33. Spin recovery is initiated and completed using established incipient spin recovery techniques

Range Statement

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.
