LESSON 8

AIM:
To develop the student’s ability to recover from poor approaches and landings.

OBJECITVE:
Review power off stalls, minimum control speed manouvering and advanced emergency landings.  Then to further develop the ability and skills of the student at performing circuits.
CONTENT:
1 - Pre Flight Briefing
2 - Review as follows:
 (a) Normal and cross wind take offs and landings (touch and go’s and full stops).
 (b)  Power off stalls (imminent and full) - while maintaining visual and instrument    reference.
 (c) Manouvering at minimum control airspeed - while maintaining visual and    instrument reference.
 (d) Advanced emergency landings
 (e) Go arounds
 (f) Recovery from poor approaches and landings
3 - Post flight briefing

METHOD:
Instructor will conduct the preflight briefing, which will review the previous flight.  The instructor will revise power off stalls and recoveries,baulked take offs and landings (go arounds), forward and side slip, glide approaches and 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 student’s performance at imminent and full power off stalls, minimum control airspeed manouvering, before returning to the circuit.  Back at the circuit, the instructor will review the students performance at normal and cross wind circuits, glide approaches, advanced emergency landing procedures and baulked take offs and landings (go arounds).  At the end of the lesson, the student will land, 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 deemed success if and when:
- the student shows sufficient proficiency at normal and cross wind circuits,
- the student shows sound judgement, and proper technique when recovering from  aproaches and landings.
- throughout the circuit the student consistently maintains the desired airspeeds, headings  and altitudes.
