Downwind Checks
Brakes pressure - pressure Park brake - off Undercarriage - down/fixed Mixture - Rich Fuel Pump on Fuel pressure - green Fuel tank - fullest / know tank Fuel quantity - sufficient Instruments - flight as expected Instruments - temps and pressures green Switches - - mags on both - landing lights on/ as required Hatches and harnesses - Secure
Turn base checks
Carby heat - on Power set 1800 rpm - assess as required Flaps - 1/3 Attitude and trim settle to 80 knots ****Hand on throttle***** critical safety point
Finals turn
Assess attitude and approach Throttle managed but roughly 1500 rpm 2/3 flaps Attitude and trim - Set 70 knots ****hand on throttle**** critical safety point
300 ft or decision height actions?
Visual on runway and runway clear Landing clearance - yes if not go around Windsock - Carby heat - cold **** hand remain on throttle**** critical safety
