Lesson one and reading assignment, including lesson 2 flight information.
Introduce Preflight/Postflight operations. Introduce Power-Off-Stall, traffic pattern
How do you get an airplane to land? Stop flying by creating a loss of lift: stall it on the runway.
When you loose an engine, you need to be able to land the airplane without engine power.
Exhibit a thorough understanding of all Preflight/Postflight operations, and visual scanning/collision avoidance. Effectively use positive exchange of flight controls, while retaining positive aircraft control. Explain and utilize the traffic pattern properly, exhibit a reasonable ability to perform Power-off stall: Heading +/-10°, Altitude no more than 100 feet lost after stall.
Read AFH: stalls 5-2 through 5-11, PHAK stalls 4-22, FARS above
§61.107(2)(i, ii, iii, iv, viii, xiii)
Preflight Briefing:
Complete clearing turns before every performance maneuver—usually at least 180° change in direction, looking for traffic (Jeppesen Private Pilot pg. 4-6)
Power off stall Procedure
Power 40%
Full Flaps (below proper airspeeds)in order of Flaps App/Gear/Flaps LDG
Gear Down
82 kts and 500 fpm descent
Power idle, pitch up
RECOVERY:
Max Power
Pitch for Horizon
Flaps, Gear, Flaps = UP
Power cruise

Traffic patterns
Takeoff and climb
Power-off stall
- Clearing Turns
- Power to 30%
- Bug a heading
- Maintain altitude as you put the flaps and gear down
- Establish a descent as if coming into land
- Select an altitude to descend to (2-300 feet below original altitude)
- Pitch up to maintain at the newly selected altitude until the buffet
- Recover:
- Max Power
- Pitch to horizon
- Flaps Approach immediately
- After reverse of trend, gear up, flaps up
After landing
Parking & securing
Special Emphasis Areas:
Positive aircraft control
Positive exchange of flight controls
Visual scanning/collision avoidance
Stall/spin awareness
Post-Flight Debriefing:
Identify tasks that were completed to standards or above.
Identify and discuss tasks that were not completed to standards.
Record and grade completed tasks in the training record
Record training in the student’s logbook (reference the Areas of Operation above).
Give an assignment for the next flight session.
Next Assignment: Prepare for completing this lesson by reviewing tasks that were not performed to standards. If all tasks were performed to standards, assign the next lesson’s required material.
