CARAVAN 208 SIC TRAINING PROGRAM

INTRODUCTION

• This training program will ensure that each pilot has a satisfactory level of training and

skill to properly perform their duties as second in command (SIC) in the Cessna 208

Caravan under VFR flight operations as required by FAR Part 135.345 and 135.347.

• Although by definition this is an upgrade training program (different crewmember

position in the same aircraft) it is substantially different because only pilots who have

been previously trained and checked as pilot in command in the Cessna 208 Caravan will

be eligible to participate in this SIC training program.

OBJECTIVE OF TRAINING

• The objective of this program is to train pilots who have been previously trained and

checked as PIC of the Cessna 208 Caravan to perform the duties of SIC the Cessna 208

Caravan.

• Westwind does not differentiate between the duties of the PIC and the SIC when flying

the Cessna 208 Caravan under VFR. Therefore the primary objective of this training

program is to ensure that the pilot designated as SIC and occupying the right pilot seat is

able to perform all the functions of the PIC from the right seat.

CURRICULUM PREREQUISITES

• The curriculum is designed to accommodate pilots who are to be trained as SIC of the

Cessna 208 Caravan. Only pilots that have been previously trained and checked as PIC of

the aircraft are eligible.

• Westwind Aviation, Inc. will insure that each PIC meets the prerequisites for

employment, using requirements established by 14 CFR Part 135.

GROUND TRAINING:

• Pilots in this program who have completed initial or recurrent Cessna 208 Caravan

aircraft ground training within the past 12 months do not need additional ground

training.

• Pilots who have not completed initial or recurrent Cessna 208 Caravan ground training

within the past 12 months are not eligible for participation in this program.

Taxiing:

Objective:

This procedure provides training for smooth, safe, and practical taxi operations.

Description:

When ready to taxi, add power while holding feet on brakes. Ensure that brakes hold, then release foot

pressure on brake and let aircraft start to move. Taxi at a moderate speed and avoid making fast turns

that put abnormal side loads on the landing gear. Maximum speed for taxiing should be that which

would allow the aircraft to be safely controlled in the event of a brake failure. Unless passing close to

another aircraft or object, the nose of the aircraft should always follow the painted taxi lines.

Checklist Procedure:

1) BRAKES – Check

2) FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS – Check

Notes:

- Use the minimum power necessary. Excessive power erodes prop blades and blasts the

surrounding area with debris.

- Always be aware of where your tail is pointed. We operate in a lot of soft field conditions

where the people and equipment can get sand blasted.

- A brake check should be made at the start of taxi.

- Use rudder for steering – Not brakes!

- Speed control with the power lever first and then with brakes. If brakes are used, power

should be at idle or in the Beta Range.

- Taxi speeds will show good professional judgment.

- Taxi using aft elevator to maximize the clearance of the prop from the ground on soft field

and minimize propeller wear.

Acceptable Performance Guidelines:

A. Always test brakes before taxiing.

B. Maintain safe distances from other aircraft and objects.

C. Taxi at a safe speed with proper aileron and elevator control surface

displacement.

D. Controls direction and speed without excessive use of brakes.

E. Complies with airport markings, signals and ATC clearances.

F. Completes the appropriate checklist.

Normal Takeoff: VFR/IFR

Objective:

This maneuver describes methods and techniques to be employed during a normal takeoff.

Description:

Brief the instructor pilot on takeoff procedures prior to clearance for takeoff. This briefing should

consist of at least the following: liftoff speed, best rate of climb speed, applicable power settings and

what to do in case of engine failure.

During takeoff roll, monitor engine instruments and use whatever control displacement is needed to

compensate for crosswind conditions and other variables, maintaining runway heading. Lift off should

be made at the manufacturer’s recommended takeoff speed for normal takeoff. The pitch attitude that

will obtain the best rate of climb speed for the particular aircraft will be used until 500’ AGL.

Note: A. Because takeoff is the most critical phase of flight, careful attention should

be given to the use of a checklist before every takeoff.

B. Power control should be smooth and positive with thought given to “P”

factor and mechanical strains on the engine.

C. The takeoff run should be maintained down the centerline to improve

proficiency and to allow for blowouts or unexpected swerves.

Checklist:

1) WING FLAPS – Set to 20 degrees for all takeoffs

2) POWER – Set

3) ANNUNCIATORS - Check

4) ROTATE – 70-75 KIAS. The airplane will fly itself off of the ground, then accelerate in ground effect

to climb speed.

5) CLIMB – 85-95 KIAS

6) WING FLAPS – Retract after obstacles are cleared & at a safe altitude.

Acceptable Performance Guidelines:

A. Speed +/- 5 knots of best liftoff speed and best rate of climb speed until 500’

AGL.

B. Power use of full allowable power with smooth application.

C. Heading +/- 10 degrees of runway heading with no danger of control loss

D. If extended, retract flaps at a safe attitude. (Minimum of 50’)

E. Maintains takeoff power to a safe maneuvering attitude, then sets climb

power

F. Completes appropriate checklists.

Normal Landing: VFR/IFR

Objective:

This maneuver provides training through the entire landing traffic pattern, including touchdown and

rollout. It is used to develop proper techniques in power and control usage at low airspeeds during the

critical phases of final approach and touchdown.

Description:

The before landing checklist will be completed before entering the traffic pattern. Unless otherwise

directed by ATC, entry should be midfield, 45 degrees to the downwind leg at traffic pattern attitude.

Speed should be reduced to that compatible with other aircraft in the pattern if practicable. When

downwind opposite the point of touchdown, complete the landing checklist. Angle of bank should not

exceed 30 degrees while in the traffic pattern. When established on final approach and landing flaps

have been extended, stabilize airspeed to that recommended by the manufacturer. If a recommended

airspeed is not furnished by the manufacturer. A speed equal to 1.3 Vso should be used. The approach

should be planned so the landing will be made in the center of the first third of the runway, with a

smooth transition from approach to landing attitude. The “after landing” checklist will not be

accomplished until clear of the runway.

Checklist:

1) WING FLAPS – Full Down

2) AIRSPEED – 75-85 KIAS

3) TOUCHDOWN – Mains first, then lower nosewheel gently

4) POWER LEVER - Beta

5) BRAKES – Apply as Necessary

Acceptable Performance Guidelines:

A. Selects a suitable touchdown point

B. Establishes the recommended approach and landing configuration and

adjusts power and attitude as required.

C. Maintains a stabilized approach and recommended airspeed +5/-5 kts.

D. Touchdown at or within 200 ft beyond a specified point.

E. Touchdown should be on the runway centerline.

F. Ability to recover from any bounces or landing roll swerves without aid

from the instructor pilot.

G. Completes appropriate checklists.

Crosswind Takeoffs and Landings: VFR/IFR

Objective:

This maneuver provides training in the more complex control techniques and limitations of the

aircraft during takeoff and landing with crosswind conditions.

Description:

Takeoffs:

Careful consideration should be given to the effects of a strong crosswind

before taxiing to the takeoff position. Narrow wheel treads, high center of gravity and

light weight when combined, result in an aircraft easily turned over in gusty cross and

tail winds. At the start of the takeoff, the ailerons are displaced into the wind and

rudder is used for directional control. As the nosewheel or tailwheel comes off the

ground loop could result. The aircraft should remain in slipping flight until well clear of

the ground and then allowed to crab into the wind to continue the flight path straight

out on the runway extended centerline.

Landings:

On final approach, the crab will be changed to a slip. The force held on the controls is

proportionate to the crosswind. The slip must keep the flight path and the longitudinal

axis of the aircraft aligned with the runway centerline. As ground contact is made on

the wheel into the wind, the controls are gradually moved further in the same direction

to compensate for loss of control effectiveness as speed decreases.

Acceptable Performance Guidelines:

A. Guidelines from Normal Takeoff & Landing apply

B. Track maintained down centerline of runway for takeoff and landing

C. No drifting or crabbing at touchdown; no skipping or side loads imposed on

gear

D. Control maintained so that no danger of ground loop exist. Correct flight

path after takeoff

Short Field Takeoff: VFR/IFR

Objective:

This maneuver provides practice to develop proficiency in overcoming problems peculiar to

marginal operations, which may be encountered while taking off from short fields.

Description:

It is impossible to specify a procedure that should be used for all situations involving the need for

short field takeoff and climb techniques. Careful analysis of the field conditions and a thorough

understanding of the aircraft operator’s manual will determine what procedure should be used in a

given situation. In any case, when the correct takeoff technique is used, the aircraft will reach liftoff

speed with the minimum ground run to attain the selected initial climb speed. The existing obstacle

situation dictates the climb speeds selected.

Short Field Takeoff (Hard Surface):

The short field takeoff is made like a normal takeoff with the following differences.

Starting from the farthest possible position downwind, the aircraft is accelerated on the

ground roll until the airspeed approaches the rotation speed. Rotate the aircraft to

liftoff at the rotation speed.

If an obstacle climb is required, adjust the pitch attitude to maintain barrier speed until

clear of the obstacle (about 50’ AGL when simulated), then pitch attitude is adjusted for

best rate of climb speed. Upon reaching 500’ AGL accelerate to cruise climb and reduce

to climb power. If flaps are used, retract them after reaching a safe height.

Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations as to speeds, use of flaps, and power

setting if different from those specified above.

If an obstacle climb is not required, after liftoff adjust the pitch attitude for best rate of

climb speed and at 500’ AGL, accelerate to cruise climb and reduce to climb power.

Short Field Landings: VFR/IFR

Objective:

This maneuver is practiced to develop proficiency in overcoming problems peculiar to marginal

operations, which may be encountered while landing at short fields.

Description:

Short field landings should be made from a stabilized final approach in landing configuration.

Manufacturer’s recommended airspeed should be used with moderately low power and a constant

rate of descent. The landing should be accomplished with little or no floating. Upon touchdown,

the power lever should be retarded to beta, then reverse immediately, accompanied by application

of brakes to minimize the after landing roll.

Note: Extreme caution should be exercised when practicing short field landings at minimum

speeds. At these speeds, high sinkrates may occur in some aircraft requiring excessive

attitude and/or power for recovery.

1) WING FLAPS – Full Down

2) INERTIAL SEPERATOR - Open

3) AIRSPEED – 78 KIAS

4) TOUCHDOWN – Main Wheels 1st

5) POWER LEVER – Beta/Reverse

6) BRAKES – Apply Heavily

7) FLAPS – Retract for better breaking effectiveness

8) ELEVATOR – Full aft for aerodynamic braking and to place more weight on

the main wheels.

Acceptable Performance Guidelines:

A. Maintains a stabilized approach at recommended airspeed but no more than

1.3 Vso +5/-5kts

B. Touches down at a point specified or within 100 ft beyond the point with

little or no float or drift

C. Applies brakes as necessary to stop in the shortest distance consistent with

safety

Engine Failure Immediately After Takeoff: VFR/IFR

Objective:

To gain experience in carrying out the procedures necessary to execute a safe emergency landing in the

event of an engine failure immediately after takeoff.

Description:

Prompt lowering of nose to maintain airspeed and establish a glide attitude is the first response to an

engine failure after takeoff. In most cases, the landing should be planned straight ahead with only small

changes in direction to avoid obstructions. Altitude and airspeed are seldom sufficient to execute a 180

degree gliding turn necessary to return to the runway. The checklist procedures assume that adequate

time exists to secure the fuel and ignition systems prior to touchdown.

Go Around from a Rejected Landing: VFR/IFR

Objective:

This maneuver develops an understanding of airplane climb capabilities in the landing configuration.

Description:

This maneuver involves a go-around with the engine operating normally while in the final stages of a

landing approach. All phases of the “before landing” checklist will have been completed. At any time on

final approach, prior to actual touchdown, the instructor will command, “go-around”. This will simulate

a landing obstacle; such as, fire equipment, another aircraft, large animal, etc., moving onto the runway

directly into the landing path; or, a sudden and violent shift in surface wind. The trainee will

immediately apply maximum power and stop the descent. When descent has stopped, the flaps will be

retracted to 20 degrees and aircraft pitch adjusted to avoid altitude loss.

After a positive rate of climb is established, the aircraft is accelerated to Vy. From this point, the

maneuver will be conducted in the same manner as a normal takeoff.

Checklist:

1) POWER LEVER – Advance for takeoff power.

2) WING FLAPS – Retract to 20 degrees

3) AIRSPEED – Pitch for 80 KIAS MINIMUM until obstacles are cleared

4) WING FLAPS – Retract after obstacles are cleared and a safe altitude is obtained

Acceptable Performance Guideline:

A. Go-around initiated with correct sequence of events.

B. Angle of attack change to compensate for flap retraction

C. Airspeed + 10/ – 0 knots

D. Completes the appropriate checklists

No Flap Approach And Landing: VFR/IFR

Objective:

This maneuver provides training in making approaches and landing with simulated failure of

components of the landing flap system and standby flap system.

Description:

No-flap landings will be conducted as a normal landing except without flaps and at the manufacturers

recommended airspeeds. The trainee should be aware that in most aircraft the touchdown will be in a

higher than normal nose-up attitude, and that the landing roll will be longer due to the loss of drag

caused by the no-flap condition and higher touchdown speed. The use of brakes may be required as

dictated by runway length and surface.

Checklist:

1) WING FLAPS – Up

2) AIRSPEED – 100 – 115 KIAS

3) TOUCHDOWN – Main Wheels 1st

4) POWER LEVER – Beta

5) BRAKES – As Required

Acceptable Performance Guidelines:

A. Touchdown is to be on or within 200 feet beyond desired point

B. Touchdown should be made on centerline of runway

C. Airspeed +/- 10 knots at boundary

Simulated Forced Landing: VFR/IFR

Objective:

This maneuver affords the trainee practice in developing gliding distance judgement and planning

required to land at a selected point when necessitated by engine failure during flight.

Description:

A simulated forced landing can be given with the aircraft in any configuration. The instructor will call

“forced landing” and check that the power lever is at idle. In order to obtain the best glide ratio, the

cleanest configuration and best glide speed are normally established as soon as possible. If the airspeed

is above the glide speed the trainee should maintain altitude. Place the aircraft in its cleanest

configuration and allow airspeed to dissipate to best glide. Altitude permitting, the trainee should

determine the best landing area available, maneuvering the aircraft as required to do so. The many

variables; such as, altitude, obstructions, wind direction, landing direction, land surface, gradient, and

landing distance requirements of the aircraft will determine the pattern and approach techniques used

to complete the maneuver. The trainee should consider landing on a long field, crosswind; or uphill and

downwind, if such a landing would be safer than directly into the wind on available landing areas.

Notes:

Utilizing any combination of normal gliding maneuvers, from wings level to spirals, the trainee is

expected to eventually arrive at the normal “key” position at normal traffic pattern altitude for the

selected landing area. From this point on, the approach is as nearly possible as a similar normal power-

off approach, allowing the trainee to use his previous experience in judging his landing point.

Cockpit checks to determine cause of emergency are a part of this maneuver. Items appropriate to the

aircraft being used will be covered; such as, checking fuel tanks, fuel pump, and ignition.

It is mandatory that the instructor and trainee know who is going to initiate the go-around and who will

be flying the aircraft at that time. No simulated forced landing is to be carried below 200’ AGL unless a

safe landing is assured. Proximity of persons and structures must be considered when descending

below 500’ AGL.

view limiting device.

Objective:

To teach the trainee orientation, planning, coordination, and airplane control.

Description:

At the manufacturer’s recommended entry airspeed, enter a steep turn using a bank attitude of at least

50 degrees to execute 360 degrees of turn. When entry airspeed is not recommended by the

manufacturer, normal cruise airspeed or maneuvering speed – whichever is lower – will be used. Steep

turns should be practiced, both left and right, and by rolling directly from one 360 degree turn into the

other. Additional power should be added smoothly as the turn is established in order to maintain

airspeed. Entry and rollout rate should be consistent and executed with proper coordination.

Maneuvering at Minimum Controllable Airspeed: VFR/IFR

In preparation for all IFR checkrides, this maneuver will be conducted while wearing a

view limiting device.

Objective:

These maneuvers pre-stall demonstrate the degree of controllability available while in close proximity to

the pre-stall buffet. They provide the opportunity to practice control techniques which are most

beneficial in the low speed regimes encountered during takeoffs, landings, and power plant failure

emergency situations.

Descriptions:

Flight at minimum controllable airspeed is practiced in cruise and landing configurations and will consist

of straight flight, turns, climbs, and descents. By definition, the term “Flight at minimum controllable

airspeed” means a speed at which any further increase in angle of attack or increase in back pressure

will cause an immediate physical indication of a stall. Stall warning devices on U.S. Certificated aircraft

are required by regulation to be activated “at least 5 but not more than the greater of 10 knots, or 15%

of the stalling speed, and must continue until the stall occurs”. In view of the above requirements, flight

at minimum controllable airspeed will result in activation of the stall warning device.

Procedure Checklist:

1) HEIGHT – At least 1500 feet AGL.

2) AREA – Perform clearing turns

3) CONFIGURATION (FLOW) CHECK:

FUEL SELECTORS – Both On

POWER LEVER – Set for Desired Airspeed (110-120 KIAS)

PROPELLER – Set 1900 rpm

WING FLAPS – Full Up (0 Degrees).

ENGINE INSTRUMENTS – In the Green

4) LANDING AREA – A suitable emergency landing area is within gliding distance.

5) MANEUVER PROCEDURE:

POWER LEVER– Retard slowly to approximately 300-400 FT-LBS

WING FLAPS – Add one increment at a time as aircraft slows

AIRSPEED – Reduce to MCA.

HEADING – Maintain desired heading

RUDDERS – Maintain coordinated flight.

Stalls and Approaches to Stalls: VFR/IFR

In preparation for all IFR checkrides, this maneuver will be conducted while wearing a

view limiting device.

Objective:

To develop in the trainee a “feel” for the flight characteristics in stalls and approaches to stalls. To teach

the trainee to react instinctively and correctly in stall recovery.

Description:

Stalls will be practiced under the two most critical operating conditions: Takeoff/Departure and

Approach to landing.

A. Takeoff/Departure stalls will be performed straight ahead and from 15 to 20

degrees constant banked turns in takeoff configuration. The climb will be

entered at liftoff speed while adding power. The angle of attack will be

gradually increased until an imminent stall occurs. At least 65 % power

should be used.

B. Approach to landing stalls are performed from straight glides and

moderately banked gliding turns (not to exceed 30 degrees) in landing

configuration. The demonstration is entered at landing approach speed and

gradually reduced until an imminent stall occurs. Idle power

or the power that would be used for a normal approach, should be used.

Deactivation of stall warning devices is prohibited if they are required equipment.

Recovery will be initiated as soon as evidence of a stall is recognized, or when full-

up elevator will not result in a stall.

Part 3: Instrument Procedures

The following maneuvers will be performed while wearing a view limiting device, for all VFR and IFR

training and checkrides.

Constant Rate Climbs & Descents: VFR/IFR

Objective:

This maneuver will provide training and experience related to attitude instrument flying during climbs

and descents.

Description:

During these maneuvers, power is used to establish and maintain the vertical velocity while pitch is used

to control the airspeed. A constant rate climb is established by increasing back pressure while

simultaneously applying power. Once the pitch attitude has been established to produce the desired

airspeed, the power is adjusted to maintain the desired rate of climb or descent.

Acceptable Performance Guidelines:

A. Demonstrates climbs and descents at a constant rate in straight and

turning flight

B. Maintains specified rate of descent within 100 fpm

C. Maintains airspeed within 10 knots, heading within 10 degrees, of it turning,

within 5 degrees of the specified bank angle

D. Performs level off within 100 feet of the specified altitude

E. Uses proper instrument cross check and interpretation and applies the

appropriate corrections.

Cessna Caravan 208 Series

Constant Airspeed Climbs & Descents: VFR/IFR

Objective:

This maneuver provides training and experience related to attitude instrument flying during constant

airspeed climbs and descents.

Description:

When making a descent airspeed is reduced to the desired airspeed by reducing power while

maintaining straight & level flight. When the descent airspeed is reached, a further reduction in power

is made and simultaneously the nose is lowered to maintain a constant airspeed. The power should

remain at fixed position and deviations in airspeed should be corrected by making pitch changes. Do not

jockey the throttle.

When starting a climb from cruising airspeed, the nose of the airplane on the attitude indicator is raised

in relation to the artificial horizon to the approximate climbing attitude. Only a small amount of

elevator back pressure should be added to initiate and maintain the climb attitude. The power setting

may be advanced to climb power simultaneously with the pitch change, or, after the pitch change is

established and the airspeed approaches the desired climb speed.

Acceptable Performance Guidelines:

A. Demonstrate climb and descents at a constant airspeed in straight and

Turning flight

B. Maintains airspeed within 10 knots

C. Maintains heading within 10 degrees, or in a turning maneuver, within 5

degrees of specified bank angle

D. Performs level off within 100 feet of the specified altitude

E. Uses proper instrument cross check and interpretation and applies the

appropriate corrections

Recovery from Unusual Attitudes: VFR/IFR

Objective:

This maneuver will provide training and experience related to recovery from unusual attitudes while

attitude instrument flying.

Description:

Unusual attitudes are normally the result of improper instrument flying technique, distraction or

turbulence. The recovery procedures, are first to determine if the airspeed is high or low. For low

airspeed the steps are, add power, and decrease attitude and level wings. For high airspeed, reduce

power first, level the wings, and raise the nose of the aircraft to straight and level flight.

Acceptable Performance Guideline:

A. Uses proper instrument cross check and interpretation, and applies the

appropriate pitch, bank and power corrections in the correct sequence

to return the aircraft to a stabilized level flight attitude

Timed/Compass Turns: VFR/IFR

Objective:

This maneuver will provide training and experience related to the operating characteristics and errors of

the magnetic compass, the performance of timed turns and compass turns to specified headings.

Description:

Timed turns are made by initiating a standard rate turn with reference to the turn coordinator. This

type of turn results in a heading change at the rate of three degrees per second. At the end of the

predetermined number of seconds required to make the desired heading change, the pilot should begin

to roll out of the turn. Turns to specific headings, may also be performed while taking into account the

magnetic dip errors of the compass.

Acceptable Performance Guidelines:

A. Establishes indicated standard rate turns, both left and right

B. Makes timed turns to specified headings

C. Makes compass turns to specified headings

D. Maintains altitude within 100 feet

E. Maintains standard rate turns - / + 5 degrees

F. Turns to specified heading within 10 degrees

G. Turns to a northerly hading must be stopped by a predetermined amount

prior to the desired heading being indicated on the magnetic compass

H. Turns to a southerly heading must be stopped by a predetermined amount

after the desired heading is indicated on the magnetic compass

Precision Instrument Approach:

ILS Approach: IFR/VFR

Objective:

This procedure will provide training and experience related to a precision instrument approach

procedure.

Description:

The pilot will comply with the appropriate instrument approach procedure selected by the instructor or

examiner. The pilot will establish two-way radio communication with ATC, as appropriate to the phase

of flight or approach segment and will use proper radio communication phraseology and technique.

The pilot will select, tune, identify and confirm the operational status of navigation equipment to be

used for the approach procedure.

The pilot will comply with all clearances issued by ATC and will advise ATC anytime the aircraft is unable

to comply with a clearance.

The pilot will establish the appropriate aircraft configuration and airspeed considering turbulence and

wind shear, and completes the aircraft checklist items appropriate to the phase of flight.

The pilot will establish a rate of descent and track that will ensure arrival at the DA prior to the reaching

the MAP with the aircraft continuously in a position from which descent to a landing on the intended

runway can be made at a normal rate using normal maneuvers within the touchdown zone. The pilot

will execute a missed approach procedure when the required visual references for the intended runway

are not distinctively visible and identifiable at the MAP. The pilot will execute a normal landing from a

straight in or circling approach when instructed by the instructor or examiner.

Acceptable Performance Guidelines:

A. Maintains prior to beginning the final approach segment, altitude within 100

feet, heading within 10 degrees, and allows less than a ¾\ scale deflection

of the course deflection zone and maintains airspeed within 10 knots

B. Allows, while on the final approach segment, no more than a three-quarter

acale deflection of the course deflection zone and maintains airspeed with

10 knots

C. Maintains the DA, when reached, within + 100 feet / -0 feet to the MAP

Missed Approach Procedure: IFR/VFR

Objective:

This procedure will provide training and experience related to missed approach procedures associated

with standard instrument approaches.

Description:

The pilot will execute a missed approach procedure by promptly applying power, establishing a climb

attitude, and reducing drag in accordance with the aircraft manufacturers recommendations. The pilot

will report to ATC beginning the missed approach procedure will comply with the published or alternate

missed approach procedure. The pilot will then follow the recommended checklist items appropriate to

the go-around procedure.

Acceptable Performance Guidelines:

A. Maintains recommended airspeed within 10 knots

B. Maintains heading or course within 10 degrees

C. Maintains altitude with 100 feet

D. Completes approach checklist

Area Departure Procedures: IFR ONLY

Objective:

Provide training in area departure procedures using the appropriate navigation publications, charts and

instrument departure procedures. Select and use the appropriate communication facilities, select, tune,

identify and track the appropriate navigation aids. What actions to take during a communications

failure. Complies with all ATC instructions.

Description:

When making an area departure dependant upon conditions follow noise abatement procedures for

that airport in low visibility and at night follow the instrument departure procedure for that airport until

the en route structure is entered. Contact the appropriate ATC facilities, select, tune identify and track

the appropriate navigation aids.

Acceptable Performance Guidelines:

A: Exhibits adequate knowledge related to area departure procedures.

B: Uses current and appropriate navigation publications for the flight.

C: Establishes two way communications with the appropriate facilities.

D: Selects tunes and identifies the correct navigation aids.

E: Tracks the appropriate course with no more than three quarter scale deflection.

F: Complies with all ATC instructions and air space restrictions in a timely manner

G: Exhibits adequate knowledge of communications failure procedures.

H: Maintains airspeed within 10 knots, heading within 10 degrees, altitude within 100

feet and course within three quarter scale deflection or 10 degrees if using RMI.

Simulated Forced Landing: VFR/IFR

Objective:

This maneuver affords the trainee practice in developing gliding distance judgement and planning

required to land at a selected point when necessitated by engine failure during flight.

Description:

A simulated forced landing can be given with the aircraft in any configuration. The instructor will call

“forced landing” and check that the power lever is at idle. In order to obtain the best glide ratio, the

cleanest configuration and best glide speed are normally established as soon as possible. If the airspeed

is above the glide speed the trainee should maintain altitude. Place the aircraft in its cleanest

configuration and allow airspeed to dissipate to best glide. Altitude permitting, the trainee should

determine the best landing area available, maneuvering the aircraft as required to do so. The many

variables; such as, altitude, obstructions, wind direction, landing direction, land surface, gradient, and

landing distance requirements of the aircraft will determine the pattern and approach techniques used

to complete the maneuver. The trainee should consider landing on a long field, crosswind; or uphill and

downwind, if such a landing would be safer than directly into the wind on available landing areas.

Notes:

Utilizing any combination of normal gliding maneuvers, from wings level to spirals, the trainee is

expected to eventually arrive at the normal “key” position at normal traffic pattern altitude for the

selected landing area. From this point on, the approach is as nearly possible as a similar normal power-

off approach, allowing the trainee to use his previous experience in judging his landing point.

Cockpit checks to determine cause of emergency are a part of this maneuver. Items appropriate to the

aircraft being used will be covered; such as, checking fuel tanks, fuel pump, and ignition.

It is mandatory that the instructor and trainee know who is going to initiate the go-around and who will

be flying the aircraft at that time. No simulated forced landing is to be carried below 200’ AGL unless a

safe landing is assured. Proximity of persons and structures must be considered when descending

below 500’ AGL.
