26
Touchdown Options: (Pg 70)
Full stop, Touch + Go, Stop + Go
27
Full stop = (Pg 70)
Touching down on RW to complete stop, or slow enough to taxi off RW
28
Touch + Go = (Pg 70)
Normal landing followed by immediate TO w/out stopping or braking, allows for smoother swifter circuit training
29
Stop + Go = (Pg 70)
AC brought to complete stop, allowing pilot to conduct all checks from static start to complete stop again
30
Go-Arounds = (Pg 70)
Aborting approach to land or from landing phase and conducting climb back to circuit height and set up for another attempt Should be conducted whenever any doubt
31
Factors used to determine Go-Around: (Pg 70)
- Greater than 40° AoB required on BASE/FINAL - Large 'S' Turns to regain centreline - Not lined up by 400ft AGL on FINAL - No clearance to touch-down by 200ft AGL - Too close to preceding AC in BASE/FINAL - RW not clear - Wind-shear beyond ability of pilot encountered - Not touched down by 1/3 length of RW - High and/or dangerous bounce encountered during landing - Unsatisfied w/ approach
32
Go-Around technique: (Pg 71)
- Apply FULL power - Balance w/ rudder, adopt climb attitude ~Vy - After +ve RoC, retract flaps 1 stg at time - Position aeroplane to side of RW, over TW 'Bravo' - After TO checks once at safe altitude - If able, notify ATC of go-around
33
Start-Up + Ground Ops: (Pg 71)
- Copy ATIS details on freq 120.9 - Bankstown Grd 119.9 req start up for circuits - Start up procedure - Taxi to manoeuvring area req taxi clearance for circuits - Clearance initially for run-up bays, further clearance given out once ready - Bankstown circuit freq = Bankstown tower 123.6, contacted at holding point
34
Line-Up procedure: (Pg 73)
- Lights = as req - Transpoder ALT mode - Pitot Heat = as req - Windsock checked - DI/Compass = Aligned and checked
35
Rolling checks: (Pg 73)
- Static RPM = achieved - Ts + Ps = Green - Airspeed alive + increasing
36
At ___ carry out ____ checks (Pg 73)
300ft, after Take-Off
37
After TO checks: (Pg 73)
- Flaps = retracted - Power = check - Engine instruments = green - Lights as req in circuit - Ref point = selected
38
At 400ft conduct ____: (Pg 73)
Effective lookout in direction of upcoming crosswind, once behind the wing can conduct downwind turn
39
Crosswind Work Cycle: (Pg 74)
ALAP A - maintain Vy L - Scan for preceeding AC and spacing A - "" P - (1) IAS = Vy (2) Alt = anticipate target height (3) DI = RW heading +/- 90°
40
Downwind initiated when RW threshold is ___: (Pg 74)
45°
41
Downwind Work Cycle: (Pg 74)
H - Height = 1000ft AGL H - Heading = Maintain downwind track S - Speed = Maintain NC S - Spacing = RW centreline should cut through wing ~1/3 from wingtip at wings level

Pre-landing procedure = (Pg 75)
B - Brakes = Check brake pressure/park brake off U - Undercarriage = Fixed M - Mixture = Full RICH F - Fuel = Fullest tank I - Instruments = Green S - Switches = Lights, batt, alt EFP ON, mags BOTH H - Hatches/Harnesses = Fastened and adjusted
43
Approach config: (Pg 75)
P - 1700RPM A - Initially maintain 1/3 grnd, reduce IAS + adjust for 1/2 grnd S - Verbalise white arc, set 2 stages flaps (VREF = 75kts) T - Use liberally
44
Base work cycle: (Pg 76)
A - Attitude = Set + Maintain 1/2 grnd A - Airspeed = Trimmed for 75kts A - Aspect = Judge is too high/low/near/far
45
Base leg = (Pg 76)
500ft AGL on extended centreline of RW
46
Final Approach = (Pg 76)
Aim point = 'numbers' in normal approach, should remain constant 1/3 in windscreen
47
Final Approach Work Cycle: (Pg 76)
A - Aim point = RW numbers 1/3 windscreen A - Airspeed = 75kts reducing towards VREF by 300ft AGL A - Aspect = Judgement of centreline
48
When passes 300ft on final.... (Pg 76)
- Flaps = as req - Carby heat = Full OFF - Clearance = Obtained and RW clear - Windsock = Speed and direction confirmed
49
Round-Out, Hold-Off + Touchdown: (Pg 77)
- Progressively reducing rate of descent to zero, ~ 1 foot of grnd - As Aimpoint moves under nose, smoothrly reduce power to idle, look far end of RW - Use rudder to keep nose straight, and aileron to maintain centreline - Apply back-pressure to remain S + L
50
Hold-Off: (Pg 77)
- Gradually increasing back-pressure to combar rate of sink, and prevent from touching down - Smoothly relax back-pressure and allow nose-wheel to touchdown on centreline
51
Touch + Go: (Pg 77)
- Carry out landing as above, once safely on grnd and under control, reclaim centreline w/ rudder - Retract flaps and apply full power and check RPM - Check engine instruments = green, IAS increasing towards VR
52

F - Flaps retracted F - Fuel Pump OFF E - Engage = Obtain taxi clearance from ATC (119.9) L - Lights = Landing and Strobe OFF L - Lean mixture for taxi T - Trim = neutral T - Transponder = SBY/GND
