LESSON 6

AIM:
Introduction of baulked take offs, go arounds, advanced emergency landings and revision of previously learnt skills.

OBJECTIVE:
The objective in this lesson is to revise previous lessons, and help the student acquire the skills to perform accelerated stalls, cross control stalls, as well as perform slips and advanced emergency landings.  Other goals include: the improvement of  normal and cross wind take offs and landings, with the addition of introducing baulked take offs and go arounds.
CONTENT:
1 - Pre Flight Briefing
2 -  Review of the following:
 (a) Normal and cross wind take offs
 (b) climbs at best rate and angle of climb - while maintaining visual and instrument  reference.
 (c) Power off  and on stalls imminent and full - while maintaining visual and instrument reference.

 (d) Change of airspeed and aircraft configuration - while maintaining visual and instrument reference.
 (e) Emergency procedures
 (f) Normal and cross wind landings
3 - Introduction of the following:
 (a) Baulked Take offs
 (b) Accelerated stalls
 (c) Cross control stalls
 (d) 180 and 360 Degree gliding approaches
 (e) Advanced emergency landings
 (f) Side and Forward slips
 (g) Go Arounds
4 - Post Flight Briefing and preview of following lesson.

METHOD:
Instructor will conduct a preflight briefing, which will review the previous flights and their associated manouvers.  The instructor will introduce the student to baulked take offs and landings. This will be followed by theory on cross control stalls and accelerated stalls, as well as how to perform forward and side slip.  Next the instructor will cover emergency procedures for the scenario of ADVANCED emergency landings.  The student performs a “walk around”and “pre flight inspection” of the aircraft.  The student performs the start up procedures and radio calls, followed by take off and standard departure procedures. Once in the training area, the instructor will then review the manouvers learnt from the pervious lesson (cross wind operations, best rate of climb, best angle of climb, change in airspeed and aircraft configuration ), following which the instructor will demonstrate the new manouvers, stalls and emergency landing procedures as discussed in the briefing.  The student will then attempt these new manouvers and emergency procedures in the training area and circuit as appropriate.  At the end of the flight lesson, the student will attempt circuit entry, approach and landing procedures, finishing with parking and shut down procedures.
The flight will be completed with a post flight review briefing and a preview of the lesson to come.

EVALUATION:
The lesson is considered successful if and when the student suitably completes the following:
- Smooth and prompt stall recoveries with minimum loss of altitude,
- Unassisted normal and  crosswind take offs and landings.
- Accurately plan and fly emergency landing patterns.
- Baulked Take Offs and Go Arounds
- Maintains airspeed, altitude and heading to within +/- 10kts, 100ft and 10 degrees  respectively.
