Pre-Takeoff Briefing (Standard Procedures)
Engine failure or abnormality prior to rotation:
1) Abort takeoff - throttle immediately closed
2) Brake as required - stop straight ahead
If not enough runway to stop:
1) Mixure to cutoff
2) Fuel selector, magnetos, and battery master off
3) Avoid obstacles
Engine failure after rotation with sufficient runway remaining for a complete stop:
1) Throttle immediately closed
2) Land straight ahead, brake as required
Engine failure after rotation with no runway remaining:
1) Maintain control/pitch for best glide
2) Only shallow turns to avoid obstacles
3) Flaps as necessary for safe touchdown
4) Throttle closed
5) Mixture to cutoff
6) Fuel selector, magnetos, and battery master off
7) Touchdown at lowest speed possible
Normal Takeoff (Flaps 0 degrees)
Do not delay on runway.
1) Line up on centerline positioning controls for wind
2) Hold brakes
3) Increase throttle to 2,000 RPM
4) Check engine gauges
5) Release brakes
6) Increase throttle to full power
7) “Airspeed Alive”
8) Start slow rotation at 60 KIAS
9) Accelerate to 76 KIAS (Vy)
10) “After Takeoff Checklist” out of 1,000’ AGL
Clean Configuration Flow
1) Electric Fuel Pump - On
2) Fuel Selector - Proper Tank
3) Mixture - Enrichen
4) Flaps - 0 degrees
Landing Configuration Flow
1) Electric Fuel Pump - On
2) Fuel Selector - Proper Tank
3) Mixture - Enrichen
4) Flaps - 40 degrees
Steep Turns (Above 3,000’ AGL)
1) Perform two 90 degree clearing turns
2) 100 KIAS (approx. 2,300 RPM), maintain altitude
3) Cruise configuration flow
4) Roll into 45 degree bank
5) Maintain altitude and airspeed (+back pressure, +approx. 1-200 RPM)
6) Roll out 1/2 bank angle prior to entry heading
7) Clear traffic and roll in opposite direction
8) Roll out 1/2 bank angle prior to entry heading
9) “Cruise Checklist”
Maneuvering During Slow Flight (At entry altitude that will allow completion above 1,500’ AGL)
1) Perform two 90 degree clearing turns
2) 1,500 RPM (maintain altitude)
3) Landing configuration flow
4) Maintain altitude - slow to just above stall warning activation (approximately 50-55 KIAS).
5) Power as required to maintain airspeed and altitude
6) Accomplish level flight, climbs, turns, and descents as required without (ATP - max 30 degree bank)
7) Recover - max power/maintain altitude/reduce flaps to 0 degrees
8) Accelerate to 64 KIAS (Vx)
9) “Cruise Checklist”
Power-Off Stall (At entry altitude that will allow completion no lower than 1,500’ AGL)
1) Perform two 90 degree clearing turns
2) Approx. 1,500 RPM (maintain altitude)
3) Landing configuration flow
4) Stabilized descent at 66 KIAS
5) Throttle idle (slowly)
6) Wings level or up to 20 degrees bank as assigned
7) Pitch to maintain altitude (slowly), and acknowledge cues of the impending stall
8) At stall/first indication of impending stall (as required) recover - simultaneously reduce AOA, max power, and level wings
9) Slowly retract flaps to 10 degrees
10) Accelerate to 64 KIAS (Vx), positive rate
11) Retract flaps to 0 degrees
12) “Cruise Checklist”
Power-On Stall (At entry altitude that will allow completion no lower than 1,500’ AGL)
1) Perform two 90 degree clearing turns
2) Approx. 1,500 RPM (maintain altitude)
3) Clean configuration
4) At 70 KIAS, simultaneously increase pitch (slowly) and apply full power.
5) Slowly increase pitch to induce stall, and acknowledge cues of the impending stall
6) At stall/first indication of impending stall (as required) recover - simultaneously reduce AOA, max power, and level wings
7) Accelerate to 64 KIAS (Vx), positive rate
8) “Cruise Checklist”
Emergency Descent
1) Perform two 90 degree clearing turns
2) Clean configuration flow
3) Reduce throttle to idle
4) Initiate turning descent, while clearing for traffic
5) Maintain (training) 120 KIAS
6) Notify ATC/Traffic as appropriate
