What are line up checks
Final approach - clear
Pitot heat - as required
Transponder - ALT
Landing light - On
Strobe light - On
Runway alignment- Checked
Take off callouts
Takeoff power set
Airspeed alive
T’s and P’s in the green
RPM in green
Airspeed 55kts rotate
300ft checks
Right to left
Flaps - up
Mixture - rich
Throttle - full
Switches - taxi light off, landing light as required (stays on during circuits)
Engine T’s and P’s in the the green
Pre landing checks (BUMFISH)
Brakes - pressure checked
Undercarriage - Make sure they are down (fixed in this aircraft)
Mixture - Full rich
Fuel - selector on both & sufficient for a go around
Instruments - T’s & P’s in the green
Switches - on as required
Hatches & harnesses - secure
Final checks (CUFLR)
Carby heat - Cold
Undercarriage - Make sure they are down (fixed in this aircraft)
Flaps - as required
Landing clearance - obtained
Runway - clear
Downwind call
Ballina info/traffic, REGO downwind, runway 06/24, for touch and go / full stop, ballina
Go around technique (still at height)
Full power
Right rudder
Level flight
Speed check 65kts
Retract 1st stage of flaps
Set climb attitude
Establish positive rate of climb
Retract remaining flaps in stages
When can you initiate a turn onto crosswind after takeoff
Once you have cleared 500ft
What is the work cycle for a turn onto crosswind
At 500ft clear the turn with a lookout
Ref. point, heading and altitude
Bank + balance, back pressure
AOB 15*
Level wind 5* away from ref heading
At what height will you level off at and maintain in the circuit until approach
Level off at 1000ft in the crosswind leg or the down wind and will maintain throughout the circuit
Work cycle for levelling off at 1000ft and performance targets
ASPT
Attitude - S&L 4 fingers
Speed- 85 kts MAX
Power - 2000RPM (don’t need to wait for speed before reducing power)
Trim - as required
Downwind work cycle
HASS
Heading - track (adjust for wind)
Altitude - 1000ft AGL
Spacing - distance from runway want to have runway 2/3 up the wing strut if on left 1/2 if on the right
Speed - 85kts
When should you conduct your BUMFISH checks
Should get out of the way asap when turning onto down wind, don’t want to be full focus on the check as need to maintain heading, altitude, spacing, speed.
At what point do the first stage of flaps get lowered
Downwind abeam, speed check below 110kts, first stage flap
Downwind abeam is when you are in line with the end of the threshold
When do you commence your turn onto base
When your at an approx 45* from the threshold
Or when you can see a straight line from the corner at the end of the threshold to the corner closest to the aircraft
Work cycle for turning from downwind to base leg
Set up an approach descent turn
Carby heat
Reduce power to 1500RPM
Speed check - 80kts
2nd stage of flaps
Bank + balance, back pressure
15* turn onto base
Once on base what is your work cycle (HASD)
Heading - track (adjust for wind)
Attitude - half ground half sky
Speed - 75kts
Descent rate - 350ft/min
When do you need to be established on final
No later than 500ft AGL
Final approach work cycle (ACAP)
ACAP
Aimpoint - centreline up wind screen
Centreline - Through controls
Airspeed - 65-70 kts
Profile - of runway
What’s the main use of the elevator and power for approach
Elevator controls the approach path
Power controls the airspeed
What’s the landing phase
Round out (straight & level) -> hold off (eyes end of runway) -> touchdown (main gear first)
Touch & go procedure
Eyes - outside
Flaps - up
Trim - set for takeoff
Full power
Rudder - keep straight (right)
Balloon or bounce recovery
