Revision General Handling

(Pre Flight Brief)

 Aim

To consolidate all general handling

prior to the stage one check flight.
 Objectives:
• Safely manoeuvre the aircraft and conduct a flight
according to standard procedures.
• Safely perform coordinated 45 degree AOB turns both in
level flight and while descending.
• Recognize an Unusual Attitude and recover to balanced,
level flight using correct procedures.
• Plan and fly an approach to land into a suitable field
following a simulated loss of power according to
standard procedures.
 Required Resources:
a. SFC standard forms
i. SFCJ E401-C172 Loading Data
ii. SFCJ E402-C172 Weight and Balance Calculations
iii. SFCJ E403-C172 Performance Takeoff & Landing Data
iv. SFCJ E406-ATIS & clearance record

b. Jandakot Aerodrome chart

c. Perth Visual Terminal chart
 Background Resources:
a. Mass Briefs 8 complete.
b. Aviation Theory Centre-Flight Training Manual
c. SFC Flight Crew Training Manual
d. Operation Manual
i. A.1-A.6
ii. App B1- Standard Operation Procedure (SOP’s)
e. C172R Pilot Operating Handbook
f. Visual Flight Guide
g. Day VFR Syllabus
 Required knowledge:
TX code in Class D(YPJT):
3000
TX code in OCTA;
1200
TX code if engine fails:
7700
Departure procedure altitude in Class D(YPJT):
1000 feet(AMSL)
SFC altitude restriction up to abeam water ski park
Not above 2500’
Inbound procedure altitude to Class D(YPJT);
1500’ unless instructed otherwise by ATC
 Required knowledge:

Power setting for Steep turn:

2300 rpm passing 30 degree AOB
High Nose attitude recovery:
1) Lower Nose to horizon
2) Add power ( if required)
3) If wings are banked, then Roll Wings level , but only when nose is
on the horizon. Not pitch and roll at the same
time, as this can overstress the airframe.
 Required knowledge:

High Key / Low/Base Key Altitude;

2500 feet AGL / 1500/1000 feet AGL
First action after engine failure:
Set glide attitude, trim for 65kts
Perspective to aiming point during PFL:
40~45 degree
Engine warm up during PFL, how often;
every 1000 feet
Lowest Altitude Limit:
500 feet AGL

How to handle Alternator failure:

See next slide
 Required knowledge:
How to handle alternator failure in training area
C172
Low voltage light illuminates
(Ammeter indicates Discharge)
Avionics: OFF
Alternator Circuit breaker: Check IN
Master Switch: OFF
Master Switch: ON
Low Voltage Light: Check OFF\

If low voltage light illuminates again:

Alternator: OFF
Non-essential Electrical Equipment: Off
Flight: Terminate ASAP
 Required knowledge:
How to handle alternator failure in training area
C172-G
LOW VOLTS ANNUNCIATOR COMES ON OR DOES NOT GO OFF AT HIGHER RPM
1. Master Switch( ALT Only ) OFF
2. ALT Field Circuit Breaker CHECK IN
3. Master Switch (ALT and BAT) ON
4. LOW VOLTS Annuciator CHECK OFF
5. M BUS VOLTS CHECK 27.5 V (minimum)
6. M BATT AMPS CHECK CHARGING(+)

IF LOW VOLTS ANNUNCIATOR REMAINS ON, Terminate flight ASAP, in the mean time,

7. Master Switch(ALT Only) OFF

8. Electrical Load REDUCE IMMEDIATELY as follows:
a. Avionics Switch( BUS 1) OFF
b. Pitot Heat Switch OFF
c. BEACON light Switch OFF
d. LAND light Switch OFF
e. TAXI Light Switch OFF
f. NAV Light Switch OFF
g. STROBE Light Switch OFF
h. Cabin PWR 12V Switch OFF

NOTE
• The main battery supplies electrical power to the main and essential buses until M BUS VOLTS decreases below 20 volts. When M BUS
VOLTS falls below 20 volts, the standby battery system will automatically supply electrical power to the essential bus for at least 30 minutes.
 Exercise
1. S&L: different speeds
2. Slow flight
3. Turns: medium & steep
4. Stalls
5. Recovery from unusual attitudes visually and on instruments
6. Instrument Flying
7. PFLs
8. PSL
9. Short Field Take off and Landing
 Exercise
• You will start up the aircraft using the checklist.
• You will handle the radio communications
• You will taxi the aircraft
• You will take-off and depart
• You will demonstrated PFLs, steep turns, stalls, MLT, UA
recovery to a P1 standard.
• You will take the aircraft inbound
• You will land the aircraft
• I will assess your competency to conduct the P1 check
 P1 Theory Check
P1 – 1.1 Flight Rules and Air Law
1. Understands requirements pertaining to the privileges of the P1
Check
2. States Pilots recency Requirements

• P1 – 5.1 Aerodynamics
1. Discuss the effect of lowering and raising flap on lift, drag and
attitude
2 List the types of drag
3. Define stalling angle and describe the symptoms when
approaching the stall and characteristics of a stall
4. Recall the correct stall recovery technique
 Objectives:
• Heading +/- 10°
• Altitude +/- 150ft
• Climb +5/-0kts
• Descent +/- 10kts
• Glide +10/-5kts
• Speed +/-10kts
• Final Appr. +5/-0kts
• Turns +/-5° AoB
 Threat and error management

Threat: Poor weather in training area

Response: Return to YPJT via Boat yard or FDL to remain clear of weather
Outcome: Maintain safe distance from weather

Error: Incorrect position report during Inbound call( Sixs/FDL)

Response: Amend previous call
Outcome: Correct R/T procedure performed

UAS: Descend below 500 feet AGL

Response: Commence go around safely to climb above 500 feet and beyond.
Outcome: Operate the aircraft safely
 Airmanship
• Clearing turn conducted to ensure clear of traffic
prior to commencing any manoeuvre.
• Engine and airframe limitations to be maintained
at all times during Unusual Attitude practice.
• Clear the Engine every 1000’ of glide descent to
ensure power is available for the go-around.
