Elements and Performance Criteria

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