Introduction to Complex Aircraft

Pre-flight operations; mass and balance determination, aeroplane inspection and servicing.
Take-off, traffic pattern, approach and Ianding. Use of	checklist; collision avoidance; checking procedures.
Traffic patterns: simulated engine failure during and after 	take-off.   	
Maximum performance (short field and obstacle clearance) take-offs; short-field Ianding.
Crosswind take-offs and Iandings; go-arounds.	
Flight at relatively critical high airspeeds; recognition of and recovery from spiral dives.	
Flight at critically slow  airspeeds, spin avoidance, 	recognition of, and recovery from, incipient and full stalls.	
Cross-country flying -	using dead reckoning and radio navigation aids.
Flight planning 	by the applicant; filing of ATO flight plan; evaluation of weather briefing documentation, NOTAM etc; radio telephony procedures and phraseology; positioning by radio navigationaids; operation to, from and transiting controlled aerodromes, compliance with air traffic services procedures for VFR flights,  simulated radio 	communication failure, weather deterioration, diversion procedures; simulated engine failure during	cruise flight; selection of an emergency Ianding strip
Repetition of exercises 1 to 8 on complex aircraft, including power management with MAP/RPM/MIXTURE and normal and Emergency use of retractable gear.
