Clearing Turns 
Execute pre-landing checklist, hold the flaps for now 
Choose a visual reference on the horizon; point it out and align the aircraft with it 
Reduce power (or, in complex aircraft, extend landing gear) 
Larger power reduction make this harder maneuver 
In most trainer aircraft ~ 1800RPM-2000RPM 
Remind pilot to change rudder pressure for 0 rate of turn 
Pitch and trim for 0 VSI, hands off 
When back pressure substantial, release tiny bit 
First notch of flaps (relieves back pressure) 
Move elevator to maintain level (0 VSI) 
Pitch down, then up for zero rate of climb 
As speed decreases, flaps second setting to relieve back pressure 
As speed decreases, flaps third setting to relieve back pressure 
Continue backpressure at zero rate of climb until stall 
Add power (~2200-2300 RPM) that gives level flight 
Maintain pitch at level, rudder for zero rate of roll 
TRIM for zero rate of climb, TRIM rudder at zero rate of roll 
Recover with full power and reversing the process
