Circuits

• What is our speed for base and final?

  Base- 75kts

  Final- 65kts
• What is our speed for base and final for a flapless?

  Final- 70kts

  Base- 80kts
• What attitude do we set after our base turn for normal circuit?

  4-6 fingers ontop of compass
• Where does the horizon cut on the pfd for BROC?

  Cuts through the top of the pfd
• What is important when taking off?

  Applying more right rudder as the ground is there to stop us from yawing
• Why do we need right rudder for take-off?

  As there is the four left-turning tendencies including torque, p-factor, gyroscopic precession and spiralling slipstream
• What AoB do we use for the turn from upwind to crosswind?

  15 degrees AoB climbing turn
• What acronym do you use to level off from a climb?

  A.S.P.T.
• When do you extend full flaps?

  After turning onto final
• What is the reference inside the cockpit for our aim point for normal?

  Half way through the compass
• What is the reference inside the cockpit for our aim point for flapless?

  Half of the compass
• If there is tailwind on final, how would you adjust your power and what happens to your final?

  Decrease power due to the push from the wind behind us

  Final is shorter
• If there is more headwind on final, how would you adjust your power and what happens to your final?


  Increase power due to the extra drag from the wind from in front of you

  Final is longer
• What’s the attitude we set for a flapless circuit?
